The Ethometric Museum
I saw the Ethometric Museum again last night. This time at the Battersea Arts Centre. The performance was exactly as I remembered it, but as it wasn’t in a cellar this time there was no need for hard hats.
I got to take a few more pictures than last time in Edinburgh, so I thought I’d share the pictures of these amazing machines.
Raspberry Pi is ordered!
I got my email today inviting me to order my Raspberry Pi. So I did! Only three weeks to wait until it gets delivered now. I’ve already seen some really interesting projects I want to try out with it.
The Master Returns!
Awesome! The latest Tom Baker audio story has arrived, and with it, the Master returns! How amazing is that? I’m looking forward to listening to this one, maybe at the weekend.
Black Sheep Ale, that’s one nice beer
I bought a couple of these the other day, and it really is a lovely beer. Full of flavour and not too heavy at all.
Love that Jam
Another lovely preserve from no.98 with a really unique flavour. Again, I got this from Cullenders, which is an excellent deli.
The Squid still works on the Lion
I tried the old Synchopoolp app on my OSX Lion Mac but I didn’t really have any hope that it would run. I was wrong. It worked just fine. It synced a bhajis file from my T3 and it rendered out all of the tracks as separate .wav files too. No problem. Amazing to find that this software still works after all this time.
That really is a great bit of software. What else would you expect though?
The T3 still works, Bhajis is still brilliant
It has to be said, often and loudly!
Happy Birthday BeatPad
One of the first Palm OS music apps I ever used, and I still love it. Happy birthday BeatPad, Happy birthday miniMusic!
Sheffield Park
A pleasant afternoon on Sunday in Sheffield Park. It was lovely weather and a great walk.
Einstein on the beach
I’ve held off writing about this performance until I’d had some time to think about it. I had very high hopes of this production. I saw ‘The Cave’ some years ago and it was incredible, and I sort of had that in my mind when I went along to see ‘Einstein on the beach’. But they’re not the same in any way.
I can’t say that I really understood any of it at all. It was almost completely incomprehensible. I also thought that a lot of the music was very poor indeed. There were a few sections of the show that I did enjoy. The dance sequences were very good indeed, but on the whole, the show wasn’t worth it in my opinion. I didn’t really enjoy it, or understand it.
It’s a bit of a shame really.
Random interactive poem 1
This was an idea I had the other day. The gallery of words above will randomly re-order when you click on the title of the post giving you a new random poem. Simple idea really. I know that it isn’t completely effective but it is just a bit of fun that’s all.
4th Doctor: The Valley of Death
This is part of the Lost Stories and stars Tom Baker and Louise Jameson. It’s another good old fashioned Doctor Who story, and in some ways it reminds me Indiana Jones films, and that film Congo with Laura Linney.
Anyway. It was a great all round story, well worth the listen.
