Did I wake up in timeline ZK-21210LDOP0EQDB-17 again instead of my usual ZK-21210LDOP0EQDB-22? Because this is just weird.

Lives in a Landscape: Goodbye to Boleyn #coyi #Pie #Mash

Lives in a Landscape: Goodbye to Boleyn #coyi #Pie #Mash http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b06pddh3 Lovely R4 ( BBC Radio 4​ / @BBCRadio4.) doc on life around the West Ham ground & looking ahead to when the club moves on at the end of this season. "The Boleyn Ground, Upton Park. Home to West Ham since 1904. No one would call the stadium, or indeed the streets that closely bind it in the borough of Newham, beautiful but it has echoed to one of football's oldest anthems 'I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles' since the 1920's. Now that song and the stones & grass that have been an arena for legends like Hurst, Moore & Peters will not just fade and die but be demolished. Very soon the club will move from E13 to E20 & the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, no longer owners but tenants in a very different space." Stream or podcast it. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b06pddh3

XKCD on Techofear and Isolation

XKCD on Techofear and Isolation http://xkcd.com/1601/ Ref also (again): 1. Anything that is in the world when you’re born is normal and ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works. 2. Anything that's invented between when you’re fifteen and thirty-five is new and exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it. 3. Anything invented after you're thirty-five is against the natural order of things.” ― Douglas Adams, The Salmon of Doubt http://www.goodreads.com/quotes/39828-i-ve-come-up-with-a-set-of-rules-that-describe Our technological devices are just tools... use them wisely or poorly... it's up to you... as it always has been.

Been enjoying: David Bowie 1996 Bridge Benefit

Been enjoying: David Bowie 1996 Bridge Benefit It's been around online for some time but I've not watched it all the way through before. Two performances (one evening, one the next day). Semi-acoustic with Reeves & GAD. Understated and effortless and a some nice arrangements. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VahslAwcwgw https://www.youtube.com/attribution_link?a=7xrOt-RGQZY&u=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DVahslAwcwgw%26feature%3Dshare

*Nexus 7 2013 & Marshmallow: Reviews & Experiences.

*Nexus 7 2013 & Marshmallow: Reviews & Experiences. I have a Nexus 7 2013 and just received the notification for the Marshmallow update. I'm slightly cautious about installing it following some laggy problems with past updates (until they got sorted out). Before I jump in.... anyone had any first hand experience of it (on a Nexus 7) or got some pointers to decent reviews/forum posts? Thanks!

Thinking of my Dad who is slowly slipping away.

Thinking of my Dad who is slowly slipping away. My sisters are with him now and I saw him last week with Charlie. Beyond the title of this piece there's no real connection with Dad and yet I always do associate it with him. #LoveYouDad   Horace Silver Quintet - Song For My Father https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NFjmWI-d6d4 https://www.youtube.com/attribution_link?a=fGVVyWB4DI8&u=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DNFjmWI-d6d4%26feature%3Dshare
