The magical walk to Beyond the Border (or at least it was)

In years gone by this was the walk down from the camp site to the main festival site for Beyond the Border. Sadly it wasn’t so magical this year. Perhaps largely due to the weather and the fact that it was so muddy.

Anyway, it wasn’t as nice as before, which was a shame, but the event itself was good, and that’s more or less the main thing I guess.

Waveshapper progress

Making some progress on the Arduino waveshapper shield kit. I’m pleased with the quality of my soldering though. It’ll take a while to finish off, but it’ll be wo

Another visit to the Oramics Exhibition

A couple of weeks ago now I made another visit to the Science Museum’s Oramics exhibition. I really like this small exhibition. It is quite unusual and they keep adding new items to it and changing it slightly, which is one of the reasons I keep coming back. I think I’ve been to it 4 times now.

I like how everything from her work is linked forward to how electronic music has developed. It’s interesting to see the progression and understand where things came from.

I almost certainly will go back again if I get the chance.

Been to Beyond the Border

Once again it was Beyond the Border this year. The international Storytelling festival in Wales. Another good one too. I really enjoyed it. I’ll be posting some more pictures and memories of this year’s festival soon enough.

Fashion: The Twilight of Idols

I bought this after listening to Fashion’s Fabrique album, or to be correct, an album called “The Height of Fashion”. I had remembered that the second album wasn’t nearly as good, and was in fact a bit of a let down, and after buying it again I remember just what a disappointment it was. There are a couple of reasonable tracks, but the rest are nowhere nearly as good.

What a shame. Never mind though.
