I’ve made one of these before, but I got given another kit at the talk I went to given by Technology Will Save Us. So I guess I’ll make this one and then maybe have a little lumiphone ensemble!

Mintronics, what a great idea
Is it useful? Yes, probably, but maybe not too much for me at the moment, but it is just one of those things I really wanted to have, and it is so cool!

Technology Will Save us: Getting Physical with tech
I went to this talk last night about physical tech. Lots of stuff about Arduinos and prototyping and 3D printing and all of that kind of stuff. I really enjoyed it, especially because the guy giving the talk was so enthusiastic.
The evening did a lot to re-energise me into thinking about making stuff and getting on with some projects, or just having some fun playing with tech.
8th Doctor: Time Works
Having resumed my listening to the 8th Doctor stories I’ve now nearly finished this one, ‘Time Works’. It’s an interesting story, quite intriguing in many ways although I’m starting to suspect that the outcome of the story is going to be a little more mundane than I’d hoped. Anyway, it’s been a good journey with this story, and that’s what’s it’s about really I suppose.
Star Trek: City on the edge of forever
A completely classic episode, and an excellent story too. This has to be one of my favourite episodes of all time, this and of course the excellent “Piece of the action”, but this one is famous for Joan Collins being the guest star, and she did a very good job of it too.
Even now it stands up well, or at least I think so anyway.
Music Tech Fest
Having been at music tech fest at the weekend I’ve been thinking a lot about mobile music again, and about Palm Sounds again too. There was so much talk about the mobile space it was unreal, and a growing amount talked about in terms of mobile music creation, to a degree anyway.
It revives a number of thoughts and themes that have been going through my head for a while now, and I’m wondering what to do about these ideas.
John Peel’s studio
I haven’t taken a look all around the site, but it is worth a look it if you haven’t seen it already. You can find it here.
A couple of pictures of Ravensbourne College
This was the location for the Music Tech Fest event I went to on Saturday. It really is a lovely building, and I bet it is an excellent environment for teaching and learning.

It was an interesting day. I have a lot to think about.
