Was watching the dire #digitalbritain panel on getting uk participation up to the 90% level. Seems everyone just wants one of these, a (free) BBC micro updated for today as a netbook and national free wifi + accompanying media and education drive. It would be a start perhaps.

The newly renamed 'Western House' is now named after beloved BBC legend the late Sir Terry Wogan.
I had no idea this was on the cards, but just happened to notice as I was out and about getting my lunch earlier today.
BBC Television Centre being constructed in the late 1950's (in the distance is the White City Stadium used for the summer Olympics of 1908)

BBC Television Centre (sometimes abbreviated TVC or TC) in London is home to much of BBC television output and, since 1998, almost all of the corporation's national TV and radio news output by BBC News. Opened in 1960, the building is four miles west of Central London at Shepherd's Bush. It was one of the world's first purpose built buildings for television production and is one of the world's largest centres. It is recognisable (often as a backdrop) throughout many appearances in BBC programmes. The building also features a distinctive circular central block (often affectionately referred to by staff as the 'doughnut') around which are studios and offices. It was built as a circle so that when cables were laid from one studio to another, through the centre of the circle, the cabling distance between all studios was the same. In the centre of the main block is a statue designed by T.B.Huxley-Jones, of the Greek god of the sun, Helios, which is meant to symbolise the radiation of television light around the world. At the foot of this statue are two reclining figures, symbolising sound and vision, the components of television. copyright BBC

Just one post tonight as this is rather special...
I was recently asked to write a guest blog for the BBC Springwatch webpage, following the selection of one of my images to go on their new office wall.(in the comments below) I don't usually post posts like this as 'public' but the brief was to write about me (which I find tricky!) and photography:
'' How you got into it, how you’ve developed as a photographer, what it means to you and what not''
I think I have managed to explain it, pop over for a read for the whole picture! www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/natureuk
(& yes, that last paragraph of the blog is to all of you who take the time to stop by and also to share what you get to see out there!)
My rendition of Holmes and Watson from the hit BBC tv show, 'Sherlock'.
Very basic figures, not much else to say really. btw, I might not post anything for this next month, going on a trip. I'll still comment and such though.

He did everything himself, he assembled his equipment then spoken and gone, all in five minutes ... English people are very efficient.

So, this morning when I looked at Facebook it told me 'you have memories today' and when I clicked on the link it showed a post from Monday October 31st 2011 to mark my first day as a BBC employee.
Five years has gone by incredibly quickly; there's been a lot of change in the Beeb during that time, and I have done a lot of stuff here. For anyone that doesn't know, I'm a sound engineer (called a 'Studio Manager' in the BBC), currently working in the Radio Current Affairs department, and mainly what I do is to record, edit and mix radio programmes for Radio 4 and the World Service.
I started out back in 2011 at Bush House, where I was in charge of the studios for live news programmes by the 27 language services which broadcast overseas by the World Service.
It's been a rollercoaster ride at times, but I'm still proud to work for what I would say is the greatest broadcaster in the world.
I chose to mark the day by bringing in my X-E2 with the wide angle Fuji XF10-24mm lens to capture this view of the facade of New Broadcasting House, my current BBC home. Nice of the sun and some blue sky to make an appearance today rather than the usual greyness and clouds that I'm used to ...

Seit 1892 führt im amerikanischen Bundesstaat Colorado eine Zahnradbahn über 14 km auf den 4200 hohen Pike's Peak am Ostrand der Rocky Mountains. Zur Ergänzung und Erneuerung des Fahrzeugparks wurden 1963 zwei vierachsige dieselelektrische Triebwagen in Betrieb genommen, deren elektrischer Teil von BBC stammte.
