Trains, plains and autodidactism

Oh boy.
I left my book, either at home or on the first leg of my journey. I hope it’s at home. I do have my laptop and power, thanks to the engineers of southwest trAins new(ish) carriage. Props to the engineers. Engineers don’t get enough props these days, not since the decline in traditional mining techniques.

What was that ian Mackinnon thing about Ask Jeeves involving killer props? question to self. I will reproduce here when I have the means.

The buzzcocks ‘everybody’s happy nowadays ‘ is on.
That’s good.

Bath Spa! yay!

Souxsie and the banshees. Shuffle is very punky today.

The other films at Bristol will be Charles and Ray Eames- famous for powers of ten, where you zoom out into space to the scale of galaxies and back into cells and atoms.
They also made nice toys and furnitures.

Nearly here.

Killed some time.

    that was the thing ian mackinnon sent me. It was the first time I’d heard the term ‘killer props’ so it was entertaining just for that.
