1984 : Steve Jobs Introduces The Macintosh

I've got one of these. Suppose I should get the start up disks off eBay or something, set what it can do. It's got less that 1MB of memory though.

Where's Wall-E?



London-Surrey Cycle Classic - London 2012 Olympics Practice Race - North Downs, Surrey

I happened to be around the North Downs last weekend, and saw a load of blokes on expensive bikes escaping bike looters in cars, who were chasing after them - some had bits of bikes on their roofs, mocking the bicyclists with their trophies. Or something.

However, this is not the reason for posting this. A surrey country lane, on top of a large hill, lined with curious locals.. and a Policeman on a motorbike checks if he's going the right way. Brilliant.

The Secret Cricketer

"In 2006, Goldsborough Cricket Club 2nds suffered the worst score in modern English recreational cricket. Their defeat to Dishforth Cricket Club resulted in ten of their batsmen getting out for a duck and the last man left stranded on zero. That year Dishforth went up a division, Goldsborough down a division. They've not met in a competitive match since.

In August 2011, NatWest staged a rematch giving Goldsborough a chance to win back some pride and Dishforth the opportunity to prove it wasn't a one off. To help Goldsborough avoid history repeating itself, NatWest gave them a secret weapon.... The Secret Cricketer.

Travis "Re-offender"

One of my favourite Travis songs, and then Anton Corbijn made this utterly brilliant video. Can it really be 8 years ago? Blimey.

What Does That Button Do? Inside Space Shuttle Discovery's Cockpit



It's a 360 photo thing, so click here and spin around and zoom in, and admire the PVC tape with sharpie pen scribbles. That right seat looks very uncomfortable, but I suppose in the weightless environment of Space, who needs a cushion, when a couple of bits of velco will do.
