Doctor Who Short Trips … Black Dog

I’ve been meaning to sample a few of the Big Finish ‘short trips’ stories, but haven’t got around to it as yet. So when this one came out yesterday I decided that it was an idea time to start. It’s only just over 30 minutes long so I’m not expecting a detailed story, but it could be fun.

Good luck Intermorphic

I really liked this post from Intermorphic about what they’ve been doing this year and what they have planned for 2016. I’ve been a fan of theirs for many years now. In fact, probably approaching 10 years now. I’ve seen them go through several iterations and still keep going. I hope that they keep flying the flag for generative music for many years to come.

Good luck guys.

Pulling your own pint

Craft beer, pulling your own pint

I tried this pub (I can’t remember the name of it) a couple of weeks ago. It’s a craft beer pub and you can pull your own pint. I thought that this would be fun, and, to a degree it is. It’s a bit like using a petrol pump in that it counted out how much beer you’d poured up to 1.0, that being a pint.

Sadly it was a craft beer, so too cold and a bit fizzy too. The experience? Well it was ok, momentarily fun, but not much more than that I’d say. It wasn’t helped by the fact that the bar had no atmosphere at all, and was pretty much empty.

Would I do it again? Maybe, although I doubt I’d seek it out on purpose.

Is it worth getting the 6s or waiting for the 7?

I’ve been thinking about this ever since the 6s came out and 3D touch was announced. It is of course the 3D touch feature that I’m most interested in. Aside from that it is just another iPhone. But I’m torn. Should I wait for the 7, which will invariably have more features and I might want one of those, or should I dive in now and get a 6s and use the 3D touch?

I’m not sure. The cautious part of me says to wait, but I’m not sure it’s right this time.

Awesome Doctor Who deal on Humble Bundle

I just thought I’d mention that currently there’s a really good deal on Doctor Who audiobooks at Humble Bundle. All of them are Big Finish audiobooks, so good quality, and cheap as anything! Just $15 (£10.50) gets you the deal, so in GBP terms it is less than £1 an audiobook. Can’t really say fairer than that.
