6.002x
Great course so far, it's helped me to remember lots of electronics theory I've long forgotten, and the difficulty's just about right for me now.
Proof of my progress:
Ignore HW05 - I was running late for work :)

So close...
Great to see Raikonnen on form again, should have won it though.
Looks like 2012 will be another fantastic season already :)

Chinese Grand Prix
Well done Nico, a shame Michael couldn't finish the race. Good recovery by Jenson and Lewis, the championship looks like a 3-way fight between McLaren, Mercedes and Red Bull this year (hurry up Ferrari!)

2012 F1 Malaysian Grand Prix
Pretty crazy race all in all, so to come out with a podium's not so bad I guess.
Perez should replace Massa NOW.

2012 F1 Australian Grand Prix
Was going to do a James Allen style strategy report, but really can't be bothered, so it's just a bullet points summary for me:
- Great start for McLaren, looks like the race for the titles is on this year
- Red Bulls are probably still the fastest/joint-fastest cars on the grid, qualy was probably just a blip
- Ferrari aren't too bad in the race, but maybe only Alonso can make the car work at the moment
- Mercedes and Ferrari need to improve the cars to reduce rear tyre wear
- Sauber showed that maybe starting with the harder compound tyre at the start of the race is a better strategy, especially for Lewis and the Mercedes guys in the next race

F1 2012
Waited so long... it's good to be back
Can't read too much into practice times, but it's good to see Schumi having a good start

Back again
No idea how often I'll be at updating this again, but here goes...
Was at Wimbleball Lake last weekend for a rowing camp, which coincided with some pretty damn good weather:
It's great to be in a place with nothing but nature, no mobile phones, no internet, to clear the stress and fatigue of everyday life and hit 'Reset' every now and then. The rowing was pretty good too, although could have done with a bit more fitness!
Right, back to real world, need to find something else to keep me amused. Hmm, not hard really - F1 starts 16th March (Boo to SKY), MA graduation 24th, National Lottery Run 31st, but the one I'm really looking forward to is this:
MITx: MIT's new online learning initiative
That's all folks, for now

F1 2012
Ultimately Red Bull are the fastest car in 2011, and coupled with Vettel and his team's intelligence and ability to extract this performance, meant that the Championship was deservedly his.
To allow Jenson and Lewis to compete, the cars need more downforce, better traction and be kinder to the tyres. No one aspect will overcome this deficit, everything needs to work together as a unit and only hard work can achieve this.
Looking forward to Melbourne 2012

On the riots
The underlying issue is poor education. Moral standards aren't being taught well enough and/or students don't believe and follow them, resulting in them becoming gradually detached from society. Teenage pregnancies and lack of guidance further worsen the problem as their offspring basically follow their parents' lead.
Watching those that try hard in life succeed and become more wealthy fuel their feeling of discontent, as they see themselves having to rely on the state. But having neglected/ignored teachings at school the discontent leads to anger rather than determination to try harder. The poor state of the economy is the boiling point of this anger that has really simmered all along, with the consequences seen in the last few days.
Arresting and jailing the rioters will not remove the anger, they simply reduce chances of such events from repeating in the short term. Given the right circumstances the riots will happen again.
Ultimately they need to be encouraged to become better citizens, and that is done through proper education. It will not be easy Mr PM, but nothing in life is.

Great drive Lewis
1. Worth saving fresh tyres for race, qualifying less crucial than previous years
2. Need working KERS and DRS
3. 2011 championship wide open

The World
Can't do much about mother nature, but surely more can be done to help the survivors? Anyone got ideas how more food and fuel can be delivered to the people? Can we host the homeless somehow?
Also I know it's unrealistic, but can people stop fighting and try to understand each other? There are enough challenges in life already...
