Really. Don’t talk to me now. Shhhhh. The Best Show On Television is on.
As per the suggestion on MyDD. Running a blog? Do your part and post the list too.
Thanks to Driftglass for posting this, well worth a view. Pretty good audio for a YouTube production, too.
I just finished John le Carre’s latest, The Mission Song. Let’s say, three stars, shall we? The tale of an African/British man gifted at interpeting. He’s expert at a wide range of central African dialects and enlisted by the British spy service. Even though a British subject, and pretty well mainstream, he still holds a sentimental […]

Here’s a photo of the sun, taken by the Super-Kamiokande observatory in Japan. A very unusual photo, not by natural light, infrared or ultraviolet. By neutrino emissions. What’s more, it was taken at night. How do you take a photo of the sun at night? Through the Earth…

I’ve always looked down my nose at “reality TV,” and to a certain extent TV in general. But I have a confession to make.
