This is a wonderful piece about Kraftwerk's Autobahn. If you have any affinity at all for that song and that band (and I have a lot of both), you'll love this: bsky.app/profile/simonh…

I’ve set up over at Bluesky. Come on over too, the water is fine. I expect I’ll make the move permanently, reasonably soon.

Check out the 16 Sunsets Podcast podcast - the story of the Space Shuttle. It’s wonderful. From the team who created the fantastic podcast series ‘13 Minute to the Moon’. Loving it.

Episode 2 of 16 Sunsets (16 Sunsets Podcast) is great, I’m learning a lot about the history of a flawed yet astonishing project, and loving the immersion into the sense and feeling of what the NASA team achieved with it all...and also what might have been. In the modern era, dominated

I'm loving #16Sunsets. I was one of the kickstarter supporters of the series. I got my turn at a thank-you at the end of Ep #3. I'm proud of that :) Shuttle is such an amazing thing - flawed in many ways, but the product of incredible effort by so many people.

Being at WOMADelaide is awesome as always. Here is PJ Harvey on opening night...

If you are WOMADelaide this year, **do not miss** "The Unreachable Suspension Point", playing multiple times a day. Mesmerising and emotional and just... wonderful. Fifteen minutes that will stay with you for a very long time. womadelaide.com.au/lineup/season-…

I made a complaint about a failed CommBank transaction. Netbank says my case can be viewed online. I clicked and - well - check the screen shot below. (Complaints system is down) I would file a complaint about the complaints system but- I cant :) Oh the irony... it burns.

A pretty super wave soarig flight at The Vale in Tasmania today :) Climbed up to FL180 (local airspace limit) in strong, smooth lift. What a view! onlinecontest.org/olc-3.0/glidin… #OLC
