Went to watch a neat lil synth group called Fragments play a live score for Robocop and they were super. I bought a tape at the end of the show, it was like I'd gone back in a time machine. Link to the music here: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=fragments+delta+city

Went for a walk in Zudycoote and saw a wreck from operation dynamo, it is great when everyone migrates south and we get these big ole beaches to enjoy and explore.

Going through the fosdem videos one by one, trying to get a sense of the sense of play/field. Exciting to see momentum building around sovereign stacks ie: Eurostack. #opensource #sovereign

«Alan Turing Institute scraps diversity drive under pressure from ministers»

Funny change in tune for an institute that was named after a person that was basically killed by the UK government for being gay. 🤷

I just disovered that the New Yorker has an amazing fiction podcast. Authors choose, read and then talk about a story. It started in 2007. So many great writers reading short stories with passion. Starting to work through it. It feels like discovering a treasure trove of prose, craftmanship and […]

Recently listened to Eliane Radigue for the first time, specficially Trilogie de la mort. Isn't a great feeling when you discover something like a book/film that opens a door in your life. I just found a vst of the arp 2500 online. Small wins. #elianeradigue #synth #composer

#beer notes - Since I'm spending a lot of time in Belgium/Northern France. I've been appreciating and learning a bit more about beer. Today, I tried cuvee de jonquilles aka daffodil beer - just a perfect spring beer, complex and light. https://www.brasserieaubaron.com/jonquilles

First episode of Common Side Effects dropped last night. Tis exactly the kind of paranoid comedy fever dream diversion that I need right now. Strong start! Look forward to the rest of the season! #commonsideeffects #animation #series https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UrJt-CypwiM

Really like this concept of a night walk in different talks round towns at midnight with a bit of a live soundtrack. So interesting to see #roubaix #lille in a different light! Listening/watching Arte a lot to try and improve my french/german level! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xl1qLkNr-5A

J'aime beaucoup ce concept de promenade nocturne dans différentes villes, à minuit, avec une bande sonore en direct. Intéressant de voir #roubaix #lille sous un autre jour ! J'écoute/regarde beaucoup Arte pour essayer d'améliorer mon niveau de français/allemand ! […]
