As I've said before - a backbeat, narrow and hard to master. We have constructed pyramids in the honour of our escaping. Good stuff, the WASP.
22:01:20
Read the kanji - very good!!!! The only problem is that I can't work out how to enter the little tsu that indicates a pause. That and the fact I don't know many of the the characters.

They are quite right - big name stars just don't do this

I just heard that Geordie Hunter - a fine Newcastle singer - died last week of swine flu. He had MS and his immune system could not cope. Very sad. Sing a few verses of the Kielder Hunt in his memory or perhaps the Old fisherman's farewell to the Coquet.

Yes. I am fiddling with the CSS
09:54:15
This a test
09:40:15
Rather fine - I can only understand 1 word in 5 though.

Having a bluegrass day today.

Was in the Fitzwilliam Museum on Saturday : knocked out by the Sickerts and the Seurats.

Some of these are very good, others,meh (The Steve Miller one is my favourite)

I won't glorify the ridiculous new name for Jt James Park by even mentioning it. But the nufc forums will be worth reading tonight I bet.
3 November 200916:24:03
Oooh, I thought they were going to land an air ambulance on the new platform right on a line with my window, but no, they've landed in the park.

Watch this video and note where the guy emphasises the family orientation and fun over the two guys blasting away with machine guns.....

That being said feel free to insert a rant about the Americanisation and commercialisation of halloween at this point.
30 October 200913:45:30
Machinarium - fun if you like this kind of thing. I don't particularly it turns out - not enough patience.
13:01:30
Reduction Pills (could offend I suppose)
11:47:30
Dunston Rocket - it probably needs to go but I will miss it. (Like the Get Carter car park)
08:44:30
Why not a game called Folk Band - you could have all kidns if interesting controllers : an Irish chanter where you got more points for cranning and things like that.

Now, I though that I kept fairly in touch with what was going on on the web, certainly more than most people, but I went and had a look at this list of what apps "VIPs" had on their iPhones and I thought "who the hell are these people?". Sure, I recognise a couple of names, but the rest, not a clue. By what definition are they VIPs?
20:25:26Peg Leg Bates (via HW)
25 October 200900:39:25Amazing cane work - imagine how hard these guys practised to get it that slick
00:36:25Acrobatic Tap - mad skillz.
00:24:25EP and Buddy Rich - insanely complicated and acrobatic. And some really mean spirited comments in true youtube fashion
24 October 2009 23 October 200920:07:23
RIP Mac Tonnies - fortean and weblogger
22 October 200922:38:22
I have been enjoying my new mandolin.

Just had a great weekend in the Lake District - glorious day on Saturday, went up Wetherlam, but managed to come down the wrong way so ended up walking rather further than we meant to... Went Fellini's for dinner afterwards - highly recommended, do go if you are in Ambleside and want a great veggie meal.
14 October 200915:17:14
I do love the Forth Railway Bridge
14:37:14
Painfully slow wifi on the train journey north
13 October 2009 11 October 200916:54:11
the Slo-mo bullets thing that everyone has been linking to is very clever but it really could do with a good edit - it gets quite dull quite quickly.....

Mrs Rivets went down to the kitchen this morning to find that the cat had brought in a fish! Pigeons, rabbits, mice, yes, but never a fish before. A fresh, ungutted fish (partially eaten of course by the cat) Very odd indeed.

Ploughed my way to the end of Colin Bateman's Mystery Man and am now entirely perplexed by the ending. Not a clue what is meant to have happened. (There are some funny bits bit in it but overall really not worth effort - it certainly isn't hilarious)
2 October 2009 1 October 200922:14:01Odd, very odd (I just found this in my in box, sorry Ian!)
13:31:01
The wave invitations came and have gone I'm afraid. If I get more I'll say
30 September 200921:35:30
No sign of any invites over at google wave so I may not have been allocated any. I will let y'all know if any do come through.
17:04:30
I haven't checked yet but I suspect I will have Google Wave invitations if anyone is desperate for one.

Does anyone recall where the *third* Giant Steps visualisation is on the net? Not the Meyer Levy one, not the youtube one - this one was a key centre visualisation done in flash. I can't find it anywhere.
28 September 200923:06:28
We spent two hours working on Giant Steps tonight so my brain is going da da deee da da. da da DA........
26 September 2009 25 September 2009 24 September 200914:17:24Wonderful - Japanese is a great language for proper Pop Music. I have no idea what this is about of course.
23 September 200916:54:23
BTW I am sure that I have posted that rap impersonator video before but nobody but me seems to have noticed.
22 September 200920:26:22This is great - he is note perfect on all those guys
21 September 2009 18 September 2009 17 September 2009 16 September 200913:13:16
Concert Hands website - it does seem to be a real product, JW
11:25:16Concert Hands - not jazz hands
15 September 200923:11:15Spade Cooley - something oddly creepy about this.
14:58:15

Dating sites are getting more specialised - rather coyly advertised on TV. (OK, I know there are lots of speciakised dating sites, but this one seems to be a bordering on fetish - the TV ad makes no particular mention of the military singles aspect)

I do like Chuck Klosterman, but I also have to say that I can't get excited about all this Beatles stuff, particularly the later records which I have never really liked. I do like the early stuff, probably because it is all embedded in my brain from being played so much during my childhood. But I'd rather listen to Chet Baker.
8 September 200909:36:08
I remembered to create a new volume
