The Unicursal Blog

I will be delivering a 10-week web design course at the CSV Media Clubhouse in Brighton starting February 28th. The course costs £200 and will run on Wednesday evenings from 6pm to 9pm.

It is an opportunity to design, build and publish your own website and places are still available. The course will focus on creating a clean, standards-compliant site using stylesheets for presentation. A blog or simple e-commerce facility may be included as part of your site if you wish.

We will be working mainly in Dreamweaver and Photoshop. No previous experience of these programs is necessary, but you should already have reasonable IT skills to get the most out of the course.

Contact Erin or Alex at CSV on 01273-720894 or at brightonclub@csv.org.uk for more information.

Putting the Laceyleague predictions for the new season into the spreadsheet I use to calculate the points I couldn’t resist a little analysis. Taking the average predicted positions (in brackets) of the 18 entries gives the following table.

1 Chelsea (1.22)
2 Liverpool (2.39)
3 Manchester United (3.22)
4 Arsenal (3.61)
5 Tottenham Hotspur (5.39)
6 West Ham United (7.94)
7 Newcastle United (8.00)
8 Everton (8.33)
9 Blackburn Rovers (8.39)
10 Bolton Wanderers (9.50)
11 Aston Villa (11.78)
12 Middlesborough (12.67)
13 Charlton Athletic (13.67)
14 Portsmouth (13.72)
15 Wigan Athletic (14.11)
16 Manchester City (14.22)
17 Fulham (16.06)
18 Reading (18.50)
19 Sheffield United (18.56)
20 Watford (18.72)

Interesting. There must be a lot of optimistic West Ham supporters among the entries!

A labyrinth is a unicursal path – a single path with no forks, no junctions, no crossroads. It’s what makes it a labyrinth and not a maze. A maze is a series of choices, a puzzle to be solved. A labyrinth is a journey, the only choice to be made is walk or don’t walk.

I make them and walk them as a meditation. Here is a photograph of one I made on the beach in Brighton, on the sand exposed during a particularly low tide. An hour or so after it was completed the incoming tide claimed it.
