Some more trees from yesterday in the park.
Status:
A rest day, mostly pottering around doing small chores and online jigsaws.
Overheard a visitor, who like most sane people is ignorant of corporate tech shenanigans, describe the new iPhone operating system as something they were tricked into upgrading to, horrible to use, and reminding them of when novice users go overboard with Powerpoint effects and transitions. I can’t think of a more damning criticism than to be compared to Powerpoint…
I’m still on the one before the liquid glass nonsense (who knows what number it is) and will remain so.
Overnight listening:
- In Our Time: Kant’s Copernican Revolution - I never got my head around Kant back in the day and it seems nothing has changed. I think I get what he’s trying to do but then, nope, brain shuts down.
Music:
- The Croydon Spaceport Tapes by British Experimental Rocket Group (BERG) - The is nice. Kinda Boards-of-Canada-y.
Reading:
- Robin Ince forced to quit Radio 4 over pro-trans views
- Who is Al Carns? Former Marine and Labour minister with sights on leadership - always odd to read a profile of your MP. For what it’s worth he was parachuted in at the last election and has been resolutely milquetoast in his opinions. Not particularly impressed tbh.
Exploring:
- The Sherwood Forest Zine Library and their archive of downloadable PDF zines.
