someone who's doing some things
Here we are, Movember is upon us, and stuff is growing! If you’re interested in seeing my Movember page it’s here, please do take a look. I plan to add a lot of stuff to it over the whole month of Movember, so you should always find something new there.
If you can support me with a donation I’d really appreciate it.
I was quite surprised that it was actually quite a small exhibition for a character as important as Ada Lovelace. Even so, it was a nice little exhibition with some interesting facts. I’m sure they could’ve found more, I’m sure they could’ve got hold of more stuff about her, but anyway, I’m glad that they at least had an exhibition about her. That’s something.
I really like the cover art for Survivors, so I thought I’d share these from the latest, series 3.
As it is Guy Fawkes night it is my tradition to watch V for Vendetta, which I think was an excellent film. It had a solid message and a really engaging story. I find that every time I watch it I find something new, or understand it just a little more, and I like that. Each time I also want to go deeper into the story.
Last year I read the original book, which is also excellent. So I might read it again.
I think it’s important to remember that this isn’t just fireworks night, as so many people seem to have fallen into calling it, but it is in fact the day when we celebrate Guy Fawkes and what he stood for. It is Guy Fawkes night
I think it’s important to point out, and important to remember.
Whilst this type of band / music isn’t my usual cup of tea, I have to say it was a great show, and, whilst I probably wouldn’t run out and buy a CD of the music, I did enjoy it.
Just another little reminder about this event will be completely amazing, or at least I hope so anyway. It’s starting to shape up now and really come together.
If you’re interested in attending or being a part of it in some way, then take a look at this page on the SoundLab web site.
Just thought I’d post these two side by side.
I went to see Bare Conductive the other day to talk to them about the SoundLab event we’re running at NESTA later this month. Bare Conductive is just one of so many companies who are being super helpful.
I’ve been a fan of Bare Conductive for a long time now and they’re doing even more interesting things with the TouchBoard and conductive ink. I hope to be able to show you what I’m doing with the TouchBoard and how we’re going to use it at the SoundLab playspace event, so expect some more posts on the subject soon.
I used to have one of these ages ago and it was incredibly useful. But sadly I got rid of it. Why? Good question, I’m not even sure now. But I needed a new one even though I had the V4 as well. The big difference with the V3 is that it has its own power from a little PP3 (9v) battery inside. That means that it can power devices that draw vampiric MIDI power, such as the two MIDI vampires I’ve got.
All in all a very useful device indeed.
