That wasn't a laser show, it was the first phase of testing the new "dEarth Star" superlaser, the Shard is the focusing crystal. Don't be fooled by all this Olympics talk, they are actually building a hypermatter reactor.

I was in town to watch that, and was a little bit of a let down. That said, with all the other stuff going on at South Bank, the atmosphere was great. Rapidly becoming one of my favourite areas of town to spend time in and explore.

Looks brilliant there.
They should have it permanantly lit by the blue lights.

So why have they had the opening ceremony when they haven't finished the top off?

On a Shardy sort of note, anyone else been to the Developing City exhibition? It's in the Walbrook Building in Cannon Street and is well worth a look. Completely free and charts the development of London through the ages with all sorts of maps and documents, and has a great model with all the existing and planned major developments, plus some interesting ideas for the future, including a whole new financial centre in Aldgate and a linear park made of islands in the Thames. Very enjoyable.

 As viewed from the Regents Canal during a drunken stag weekend canal boat excursion. Mooring a 70ft barge is harder than parallel parking any car I've driven.

Well the booking system to book tickets to the viewing platform was a joke on the first day it opened and I still haven't had the email they said I'd get around payment. That being said, hopefully I've booked tickets to see the view of the clouds / rain on opening weekend next year.
