You’ll always know with this handy flowchart. Click it to see it at full size.
What happens when you take computing’s proto-heroes Charles Babbage and Ada Lovelace, turn them into characters in a steampunk adventure television series with a title sequence lifted directly from Space: 1999? You get Albion: 1849, a series with a themes similar to The Secret Adventures of Jules Verne.

Coming Soon to a Cafe Near You
You read that right: Torani bacon syrup. Their site suggests that you use it in:
- Manhattans (paging David Crow!)
- Milkshakes
- Old Fashioneds
- Bloody Marys
When I see a Torani bottle, I think of a cafe. I might need to order a baconccino!
A little life hint: if someone invites you to a rooftop party where a celebrity chef is cooking and they’re serving gin, always RSVP with “yes”.
The party was a Bombay Sapphire promotional event featuring Food Network Canada chef Rob Rainford, who cooked some delicious dishes using gin as an ingredient. Co-presenting with him was Merlin Griffiths, Bombay Sapphire’s “Global Brand Ambassador”.
When this computer fad blows over, I think I’ll become a brand ambassador for a liquor company – it looks like fun!
These photos feature Yours Truly shaking up a “Southside”, which is essentially a mojito made with gin instead of rum, and it’s pretty nice.
There are more photos, including Rob Rainford cooking delicious dishes on my Flickr set of the event.
If you want to try out the recipes we were shown, they’re posted here.
