Media star
For those who missed it, the visit of the Trees Around Nunhead to Lewis Schaffer's show on Resonance.FM is now online.
This was a strange experience for me, and I was nervous throughout.The studio is tiny, down a side passage just of Borough High Street. Full of equipment that Chris was in charge of, and the rest of us sat in a kind of horseshoe shape around his desk.
Lewis, Lisa and Chris were very welcoming, and there was little time for preparation before we just dived in. The only rule seemed to be 'no swearing'. If you ever get a chance to do this, I strongly recommend it just for the experience.
I have to admit I was drained by the end, but also on a high and in need of a drink.
On Borough High St at 11pm on a Monday evening.
I strangely ended up in a karaoke at the Blue-Eyed Maid, that seemed to be entirely populated by (i) very young-looking students and (ii) elderly West Indian gentlemen.
Perhaps by that stage I was hallucinating...

Spawn of Nunhead
It is that time of year again.
Time for sex in the garden.
For the frogs at least - we now have a pond full of spawn...

Immediately Post-Crikey
... well that was quite an experience. Rather fun, really... (more when I've managed to digest it...)

Crikey
We appeared to be featured on Resonance FM at 10:30 this evening. Goodness only knows how this will turn out...

Pi
Wonderful reaction to the (at last!) launch of Raspberry Pi yesterday. Two long mentions on the Today Programme on Radio 4. And then a news item about the launch being so well attended to that both Web sites had crashed.
And then today (Mar 1st) you could read a news item and (thoughtful, conservative), editorial in the Grauniad. We can only assume it will appear in an Arucaria puzzle soon.
We can merely speculate, and I suspect the numbers are still a little low, but is this the new beginning of a backlash against overly commoditised, instrumentalist, mercantilised - just too damn bland - notion of what software is?
