Lunch…
Evening falls
Nostalgia
Rapidly joining “have your say” as a phrase I hate when applied to social media.
Ah, Princess...
Ah, Princess from Battle of the Planets. One of my earliest crushes before (a) I knew what a crush was and (b) realised that it was a bit weird having a crush on a cartoon character.
Some great posters from classic kids' stuff on that site…

Joy.
Promoting this, which is great.
First conker fall of the year…
There’s probably a good explanation for this…
Sharing your photos with posterity #1

Intriguing idea. I have a whole bunch of family photos - probably three generations worth - to scan and share. This looks like one place to start.
Saturday's fine for Shoreham flying
Despite the dire warnings of rain and general unpleasantness, today dawned bright and fine in Shoreham-by-Sea, which must have been a great relief to the organisers of the airshow. Sadly, we were too busy to attend this year, but we were treated to a free show as we walked from the Beach over to the town this afternoon:

Sorry for the very amateur hour footage. Pointing a small caera at the sky and getting decent results is harder than I imagined… My respect for my FlightGlobal colleagues goes up.
A small pleasure of Lion
Much like Circles in Google+, I'm having slightly too much fun with creating names for folders in Lion's launchpad app
Liberalism, business and success
Every single person who'd attack Steve Jobs on any of these grounds is, demonstrably, worse at business than Jobs. They're unqualified to assert that liberal values are bad for business, when the demonstrable, factual, obvious evidence contradicts those assertions.
It's a choice whether you, or anyone else, wants to accept the falsehood that liberal values are somehow in contradiction with business success at a global scale. Indeed, it would seem that many who claim to be pro-business are trying to "save" us from exactly the inclusive, creative, tolerant values that have made America's most successful company possible.

In America, the right are trying to make out that left-wing values are incompatible with business.
In Britain, the left are trying to make out that business is incompatible with left wing-values.
And people wonder why I hold so many politicians from all sides of the fence in contempt.
On the rise of camera phones, and photo apps
Teru Kuwayama, a photojournalist, disagrees: “You could make an analogy to the advent of the electric guitar or electronic music. Much to the annoyance of classical musicians, those things made ‘everyone’ a musician. I grew up on punk rock, hip hop and death metal, so I welcome the post-classical age of photography, and the explosion of amateur expression that comes with it.
“Obviously, it sucks to be a professional photographer, and it's personally inconvenient to lose your pedestal and your livelihood to a $2 app, but that doesn't mean it's a bad thing for photography.”
And just like with music, I'm sure we'll see new forms of photography emerging, because the technology for capturing AND sharing has become ever more accessible.
