Family/Childhood Cine Films http://distractedbyathing.blogspot.co.uk/2016/02/familychildhood-cine-films.html Playlist here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLyUSip29TAJbTyXUAC5EjQlLHHdlOAa0A Thanks to my sister Sue and brother-in-law Phil who have dug out and processed to digital these old family cine-films from the 1960 & 70s. Do not adjust your volume - these are silent movies. Various family activities, mainly from holidays, showing a slice life for 60/70s kids. They feature various family members and some lovely views of our parents who amazingly kept us all active and entertained. No electronic devices and distractions... we had to make our own fun/dispel the boredom ;-)

See! I do know how to give directions!

The Dude Abides: Birthday Lebowski   https://youtu.be/4Wu598ENenk #TheDude   #TiedTheRoomTogether   #AmIWrong    #OutOfYoureElement   As part of extended birthday weekend celebrations in our house alison adams and I re-watched The Big Lebowski last night. It must have been 5+ years since I watched it all the way through and it's as funny and entertaining as ever. This early scene hilariously sets up the 3 main characters and the dynamic of their relationship. All 3 are perfect performances. If for any reason you've not ever seen this film then do yourself a favour. https://www.youtube.com/attribution_link?a=eDcfnWtePI8&u=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D4Wu598ENenk%26feature%3Dshare

John le Carré on The Night Manager on TV: they’ve totally changed my book – but it works http://gu.com/p/4gztt Sounds very promising for this new TV series. Nice commentary on the transition from novel to screen. http://gu.com/p/4gztt?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Google%2B

Those #Grammy Performances: Kendrick channels the spirit of #Bowie while #GaGa reduces his songs and imagery to Karaoke for XFactor viewers Halfway through the GaGa I had an epiphany... This (the Lady GaGa performance) encapsulates what non-Bowie fans (in many cases actually non-music fans) think of David Bowie. "Weird & strange" with some good tunes and funny costumes. Which is fine, of course :) On the recommendation of others (and the hints that DB & Visconti were fans/influenced when making ★) I've listened to and been impressed by Kendrick Lamar. He's the real deal. Blending sounds and influences (as in the introduction to the video) I find him much closer to an artist like Bowie in spirit and application. Kendrik here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aHMdR8fK-88 GaGa here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3fGBZhsa4VU Warning includes an Intel Marketing splash which uses the term "... another level". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aHMdR8fK-...

The surprising truth about Facebook's Internet.org (Read my column: http://goo.gl/FBBB4R ) No, Internet.org is not a nonprofit organization that subsidizes Internet access for new users. It's a business development department within Facebook. They don't subsidize Internet connectivity -- they make carriers do that. And most of the users they get were already on the Internet. Here is the surprising truth about Facebook's Internet.org: http://www.computerworld.com/article/3032646/internet/the-surprising-truth-about-facebooks-internetorg.html #facebook #internetdotorg

And, I thought I made some embarrassing typos! That said, I still want to see the shaved bears.
