One Season

The following programmes were cancelled after just one (or two) seasons. It’s a disgrace.
I do understand that tv shows have to make money but surely there should be some space for critical acclaim.

  • Knightrider
  • The Cape
  • Painkiller Jane
  • Terra Nova
  • Dollhouse (two seasons)
  • Firefly

    Still Life Study

    Number 1 took this photo. I guess it shows his main interest: Nutella! Perhaps it signifies the path of growing knowledge?

    3D Running Route

    My iPhone app that records my running outputs to a website and from there you can get a Google Earth 3D view of the run. That’s pretty cool.

    Nice!

    iTunes Albums

    I spent a few hours at the weekend sorting out my iTunes library and then changing it back. I’ll explain:
    My car stereo lets the iPhone plug into it. I can then browse the library and select songs and playlists etc. from the stereo display. Unfortunately the display doesn’t have many characters and so long album names scroll across which takes some time. If there are two parts to an album and I’ve jogged the select wheel while going over a bump then I have to wait ages and concentrate on the stereo display while the album name scrolls across. This is a touch unsafe and irritating.
    So I decided to rename all multi-part albums with a 1 or 2 prefix so that I could see which part I had selected quickly on the car stereo display. Doing this took a while as I have my music library on my NAS drive and iTunes takes a while to adjust the music tags and then copy the new files to the phone.
    That night I slept rather uneasily. It was distressing me that my albums were not correctly named. It seemed wrong.
    So the next day I set about changing it back. Again it took a while but I feel more relaxed about it now. The albums are all correctly named and I’ll just have to be careful when selecting these songs in the car.
    See my music collection here.
    When I mentioned to WW that I had changed everything back to what it should be she said “I thought you’d do that”. I guess she knows me very well.

    Geek Wife

    WW stated the other day that she would like some new T-Shirts and that she would like some “geek” ones! I’m overjoyed.
    Her reasoning goes a little like this:

    Everyone can buy a Superdry top and everyone knows it’s a Superdry top. If I can find a top that’s relevant to me and not obvious then that is a little more special to wear.

    I couldn’t agree more. We did have some problems browsing the CafePress website because some of the designs looked nice but then had the TV show name as well meaning they aren’t obscure enough. There was a Lost t-shirt that had the Dharma logo (nice) but then also had the Lost logo (annoying). You want people who know to know and those who don’t to just think it’s another t-shirt.

    For instance a t-shirt with

    Redrum

    written on it is cool whereas one with STANLEY KUBRICK’S THE SHINING is a little too obvious. I want people to work hard to discover the reference! My current favourites are:

    Who shot first?

    So say we all

    What would Adama do?

    Bartlett for President

    African or European swallow
