The PowerUp 3.0 is pretty awesome
I only got to try this out for the first time the other day but it is pretty amazing. Not easy to fly though. Not easy at all, but fun. I really underestimated just how much space is needed to fly this thing. You need a fairly large flat park and you need a very windless day to do it too. Even the slightest gust of wind can take the thing as it’s so light.
The app is amazing though. You get real control with it. The only thing I’d have liked is a front facing camera on the airplane which sends real time footage back to the app. That would have been so cool. Even so it’s loads of fun to play around with, and when the wind dies down a bit I’ll get another chance to mess around with it.
Survivors Series Two has arrived
The beach at Llantwit Major
I took this picture a few years ago after a trip to the Beyond the Border storytelling festival. The beach nearby is wonderful with some truly amazing rock formations. It’s very peaceful.
An afternoon looking at the sea …
Staying in a beautiful house boat and spending at least a small part of a Sunday afternoon listening to music and not doing anything else at all.
Bliss, sheer bliss.
Makes me realise how much more intently I should listen. After all, listening is an art. Listening is important, and I should do more of it, a lot more.
John Foxx, Ghost Harmonic: Codex
I’ve been waiting for this for some time, and now it’s here. I think it requires some special listening though, not just a casual listen, not just on headphones and walking through the city, but a much more considered and deep experience.
4th Doctor: Suburban Hell
I have to say that this story is complete genius. I loved every minute of it. It was a joy to listen to as the writing is just awesome. It really does hark back to the best of the fourth doctor. Well worth a listen in my view. In fact, this whole series has been brilliant. I don’t think that there has been a poor episode in there at all.
