New Releases
This month seems to have been a rich period for new music releases that I love. So much so that I thought that I would share them here. Enjoy!
Spot the April Fools’
Over the years the amount of effort put into creating April Fools’ jokes has increased exponentially, with some more plausible than others (see above). Some, such as Google and Amazon go to the trouble of creating really slick websites and videos such as these from Google (love the girl’s reaction at the end): And Amazon …
Always the Bridesmaid…
I have written about my younger son’s playing of League of Legends before. Yesterday was the culmination of months of games in the NUEL (National University eSports League) with over 300 teams having been whittled down to the final two with Mat’s UoB Storm pitted against Nottingham Bears. Unfortunately they lost out but it was …
Gyroscope vs. Exist – Quantified Self Aggregator Review
I’m fascinated by the Quantified Self movement where people collect masses of data about themselves and aggregate it to show some meaning.

Birthday List
It’s possible that I might have a significant birthday this year and if you are wondering what you might get me the above BMW would be most welcome 😉
Every Episode of House M.D.
Opening scene somebody gets ill, others around are concerned but this is misdirection as ta-dah it’s one of the concerned others that falls sick and needs a trip to the hospital. Someone tries to entice House to take the case by offering up tidbits of information about the illness but he is not interested. Then …
Making a Case for Audio Books
I love music. It’s really unusual for me to not have music playing somewhere. If it’s blaring out of my computer, music streamer in the lounge or out of my headphones when on the move it is pretty unusual. Music, for me, can be background noise, something that doesn’t require too much concentration and fills …
Thoughts on Size
When I posted recently about the tracks added to my music library over last year something that struck me was that it required 35gb of additional storage. That still seems like an enormous amount of disk space to me. This now takes the total amount of storage for all my music to 266gb. This is …
