[Wargaming] Just a little something....

.....that I found online today. I was browsing Facebook, and found that the Chain Attack podcast guys had linked to this video. I thought that it provided a decent look into Warmachine, and a bit of insight into the reasons why I play the game. Sure, it could have been longer, but I feel that the level of depth was perfect for people looking for a quick explanation of what the hobby provides for people.

[Books] The Wheel of Time: The Eye of the World

Image
The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth comes again. In one Age, called the Third Age by some, and Age yet to come, and Age long past, a wind rose in the Mountains of Mist. The wind was not the beginning. There are neither beginnings nor endings to the turning of the Wheel of Time. But it was a  beginning. And thus my journey through the Wheel of Time really begins.

[Outreach; Miscellaneous] My first TV appearance!

Image
Something a little bit different today - I've been on television! I've mentioned it briefly before, but my boss is the 'Head of the Science Team' for the new ESA PLATO mission. Since it was selected by ESA last month he's been very busy giving talks, presentations, and interviews about the mission. Yesterday he had the science team from the local BBC TV channel along to interview him about it for a short piece. Since he was getting a bit fed up with the whole thing he decided that it would be good for myself and Dave (one of his PhD students) to get involved too! I was a little nervous about it, as I've not had any interaction with the press before. But it turned out to be a lot of fun. The science reporter was very easy going, and made it seem more like a chat than an interview. He did give me one piece of advice, which was to finish my thoughts even if I stumble rather than trying to restart, as you can always edit and do retakes. Very much like ...

[Music] Linkin Park – Living Things

Image
Linkin Park were a band I listened to a bit at school through my friends’ CDs, and through Kerrang TV which was my preferred choice of background music during study leave for my GCSEs and A-Levels. I always thought that their music was ok, but not amazing. A bit too angsty for me, and full of pseudo-rap that didn’t do much for what was then a mind focused on either orchestral music or proper guitar led bands. However after hearing the single “What I’ve done” on the Transformers soundtrack, I decided to check them out again. They’ve gone through a bit of a reinvention, becoming a bit more mellow in their sound but keeping the lyrical style, and also become a bit more political. Album cover for "Living Things" (Credit: culturetease.com) “Minutes to Midnight” (from which “What I’ve done” is drawn) was a decent album with a couple of stand-out tracks. “A Thousand Suns”, their next album, seemed to follow rapidly, and again had some excellent tracks.
