Marc Riley's Musical Time Machine, http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b05077kd from @bbcradio4 via @BBCiPlayerRadio #FT #Bowie Excellent bath time listen.

Just watched A Most Wanted Man. #FT It was a good Le Carre adaptation. Some twists & turns & nice tradecraft. What a loss Philip Seymour Hoffman is. Nearly a year now. Closing credits feature some great (must be!) Ribot on guitar on Tom Waits' "Hoist That Rag". Also on soundtrack a surprise (to me) Bowie cover: Claudia Brücken - Everyone Says "Hi": http://youtu.be/pl8cOVWVqFI http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Most_Wanted_Man_%28film%29

Apple customers continue to queue up to over-pay for overpriced phones. #FT Lovely devices (if you have the extra cash). Poor service (but you can escape them). Can they convince their customers to over-pay for the watch thingy too? http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2015/jan/27/apple-record-quarterly-earnings-report-iphone-6-plus

So Sonos' new "logo" pulses like a speaker when you scroll... Well played.

Happy Birthday big guy!

Two months later, it's still bittersweet. http://www.computerworld.com/article/2871662/broken-lollipop-android-50.html

Happy birthday, Robert Scoble! (Miss you here. I expect you're off playing with your Facebook friends) ;)

Down south to be with Dad for a couple of days plus some work later in week. #FT

Today in Geek History: Happy 20th Anniversary, Star Trek: Voyager! The series premiered in 1995. #StarTrek

Just watched LUCY. Utterly preposterous. Rather enjoyed it :) #FT http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucy_(2014_film)

We had snow today #FT

Blimey. They fixed the #Dlibert (@Dilbert_Daily) Website. Mostly. #FT   It's usable now :) Good work! http://www.dilbert.com/

Watching The Ipcress File (BBC2) #LazySaturday #FT It's rather good. Love 60s London: cars, streets, suits. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ipcress_File_%28film%29

Alison made this pie in September 2014

I could watch this guy jumping in the water to save his drone all day. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VsHMjWORFvI

Happy birthday, Martin Jarvis!

Mammal Hands: Just bumped into this rather nice (@MammalHands on @gondwanarecords) #Brit #jazz #trio #FT Shades of EST & Nik Bärtsch but also other influences. Intro here: http://www.gondwanarecords.com/mammal-hands And album review here: http://www.allaboutjazz.com/animalia-mammal-hands-gondwana-records-review-by-bruce-lindsay.php This is a great example of how Music Streaming Services are great for music discovery. I found this (or it found me) via an auto-generated playlist in my Google Play Music service.  I can then click through and give the album a listen. There's no "lost sale" here... I would never have bought this as a CD or Download Album.  But I'll add it to my GPM library and listen to it.  I'm recommending to friends (here, now) and if they were playing live I'd be interested to see them. Question is... what's the VALUE of this recorded music and how much do they want me to pay for a few listens to the album? http://www.youtube.co...

Happy Birthday David Bowie #Bowie   #FT   68 Today and still producing music and art to amaze and enthral (& divide) his audience.

Back home with boy after week away helping to look after Dad. #FT

Happy birthday, Anette Roller!

Oh Ticketmaster how well you know me. (Not) #FT Ridiculous email marketing from the awful service Ticketmaster (Never knowingly oversold). There's not a show/act here I would go & see if you sent me a Limo & a free VIP ticket (ok, maybe Neil Diamond. With a good Limo). Obviously I generally avoid Ticketmaster so they know little about my tastes but even so..
