A welcome return for "Google Now" cards. Ridiculous they had stopped/buried this. Really useful tech. https://arstechnica.com/?post_type=post&p=1344955

Just watched The Day of the Jackal (original 70s version, on UK Netflix). Never watched it from start to finish before. What a great film. I was struck that Fox looked like a prototype for Bowie as TJ Newton & the 83 Bowie. From the wiki article...: I wasn't prepared for how good it really is: it's not just a suspense classic, but a beautifully executed example of filmmaking. It's put together like a fine watch. The screenplay meticulously assembles an incredible array of material, and then Zinnemann choreographs it so that the story—complicated as it is—unfolds in almost documentary starkness.>> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Day_of_the_Jackal_(film)

What's more depressing than watching this shambles of a govt lead us over the #Brexit cliff? Knowing that a majority (largest party support) of my fellow citizens still support them. > AVERAGE – CON 41, LAB 39, LDEM 9 http://ukpollingreport.co.uk/

Just realised this listless and restlessness I'm feeling this morning is a mix of tiredness (busy work/travel schedule), the heat... but MOSTLY nervous anticipation for this afternoon's match. It seems I care more about this than I had thought. Hoping for a great performance and win. They will be tough opponents.
