So, called Dyno-Rod yesterday to unlock a drain.
Didn’t think I’d have a celebrity coming round to unblock it though.

Very satisfying to design your own album cover.

Painted fence saying ‘wet paint’. Paint had dried but it’s now raining on the fence. The sign becomes correct for a second time.

View from above. The sign was true (it was raining).

…. Weird coincidence, an old friend called me today out of the blue to say he’d been diagnosed ASD1 and mentioned how inspired he was by Robin Ince.

I’m coming to Bath Spa too (unfortunately a week later).

It’s not a tautology, it’s a university.

I have the pleasure of giving a keynote at was was my uni (BCHE) 35 years ago.

This image of the Ring Nebula, taken by Webb’s Near-Infrared Camera, appears as a distorted doughnut. The nebula’s inner cavity hosts shades of blue and green, while the detailed ring transitions through shades of orange in the inner regions and pink in the outer region. The ring’s inner region has distinct filament elements. Stars litter the scene, with a particularly prominent star with 8 long spikes in the top right corner.

Colorful clouds of gas and dust crowd the image. Deep red and orange clouds surround the image's edges, with some violet in the upper left portion. Near the left middle, a region of teal and yellow shines.

A star cluster is shown inside a large nebula of many-coloured gas and dust. The material forms dark ridges and peaks of gas and dust surrounding the cluster, lit on the inner side, while layers of diffuse, translucent clouds blanket over them. Around and within the gas, a huge number of distant galaxies can be seen, some quite large, as well as a few stars nearer to us which are very large and bright.

A colorful, glowing nebula that reaches beyond the top and bottom of the image. This translucent cloud of gas holds wispy and thin filaments with hard edges in some places, and puffy and opaque in others. Blue, red, and yellow colors mix together, showing light emitted by different types of atoms in the hot gas. Scattered across the colorful nebula are bright and point-like foreground and background stars. The background is black.

the universe wishes you a very happy pride month 🏳️‍🌈🌌

They’ve Disneyfied ‘Walking with Dinosaurs’

Cover of Rubin’s book has the monad circle, but with the book mark string at a diagonal through it as if a null set.

‘A way of being’

Heidegger-lite

but fun, joyous and worth the read.

Quite an influence on OOO I gather. Beautiful language.

Choosing the original piano instrumentation to perform a John #Cage classic, Ted effortlessly performed his extended version called 4 hours and 33 minutes.

At Krapp's Last Tape in #York tonight with #GaryOldman

a 69 yrs man listening to his 39 yrs self who was already nostalgic and in denial of his regret. A life always looking backwards.

Oldman gets Krapp. Just beautiful and sad and funny throughout.

But there’s lettuce, cheese and tomato? 🤷

Or is it one of those illusions like the blue/black white/gold dress?

a HAL 9000 update perhaps?

Quite pleased with this.

Isn’t there a tariff on Canadian album titles?

I’m not sure if my cat is charging on mains electricity or solar power?

Absolutely!

Tried ‘I am sitting’ the other day with students using a reverb chamber.

It didn’t take very long.

Very tempted to try the anechoic chamber using the best, flattest response, speaker and mic I can find.

Praise be to Alvin.
