For a while now, I've wondered what the prime numbers look like in binary, that is, if you paint the ones as white dots, and the zeros as black dots, what does the whole set look like?

We're back in Renwick now, and today we will drive over to Picton, drop off the car and head back to Wellington. We've done and seen a huge amount of things, taken a ridiculous number of photos, and had a lot of fun.

Andy and I are just back from our first NZ road-trip together, during which we had lots of fun exploring the Central Plateau of the North Island. Read more for the highlights of the trip...

The southern hemisphere is a great place to view Comet McNaught as it moves away from the Sun. It can be seen clearly from Wellington, as long as you get high enough to see over the hills. Here are our slightly blurry (no tripod) photos taken from Mt Victoria.
