Tonight's beverage: Weller Special Reserve. For the price and availability, probably the best value in my opinion.
Currently reading: The Innovators. Walter Isaacson is a great writer, and the history that led to the computer- from the theories of Charles Babbage and Ada Lovelace through the invention of the transistor, microchip, and computer- is a powerful story. I'm learning a lot.
Currently playing: Nothing. I have an issue where computer games with first person perspective usually gives me vertigo. Could use a good new PC game (preferences are for mystery/puzzle/RPG games). Recommendations are welcomed.
Current recommendation: Game Changer, from Dropout. It's a simple formula- take a bunch of comedians, put them in a game where they don't know the rules, and run with it (Taskmaster operates on the same principle, and the episodes are free on youtube). This year's games have been utterly chaotic and brilliant, and Game Changer alone is worth getting Dropout.
The Pink Floyd retrospective continues next week. I've known the band's most famous albums, but almost nothing of their earlier stuff. It's a fascinating group- musically talented, with a lot of ideas- but with their early albums they are still trying to put it all together. It's not until their eighth album that it finally comes together. The journey is long but it's worth it.
