A little doodle playing with some letraset Promarkers. Rarely do I make time to play with all the art supplies I somehow seem to gather on the way. So today I took the time to put on some good music and have a day of doodle. This is the front cover to one of my favourite albums The bluetones, expecting to fly.
'Expecting' was inspired by the close arrival of my first grandchild. It brings back like yesterday the anticipation of a new little bundle of love as I reflect on my own three children represented by the three birds nestled in the arm of the woman. Words of her inner thoughts peep through layers of paint on her swollen stomach.
This piece is 12x24" and is ready to be hung with the sides staple free and painted.
(Not As You Would Expect) Fairy Tales on the Fourth Plinth (One and Other) performance art in Trafalgar Square, London.
Once upon a time, there was a little princess, who sat upon a big stone plinth in the square and told deliciously dark fairy tales, just because everybody likes storytime
in the afternoon. She took her dearest companion, Mr Teddy, with his very best black satin bow, and wore her favourite green taffeta party dress, and had a nice cup
of tea and some ginger beer.

I expected to see the blue ocean and tropical landscape. However, I was surprised at how many unexpected artistic touches I found around every corner. Honolulu, I love you!

Wow I don't think anyone expected this.
I was in bed about 11.30pm last night, just gone over to sleep when I got a text message from a friend saying he was dead, but I thought it was another one of these crap jokes that go around from time to time about him. I expected to get the rest of this "joke" but it never came so I went down stairs to put Sky News on and there it was. I couldn't believe what I was seeing, I wondered if the reports were blown up, but no it's all true!
I'm not a huge fan, I thought Billie Jean is the best thing he did, also the albums Off The Wall and Thriller are the best I think but after that from Bad onwards I think he lost a little of his magic. The media are speculating right now on what caused his heart attack saying it was prescription drugs, they are talking about his life and bringing up all the controversy that featured in his later years and dragging up all of the bad parts of his life as well as the good stuff. They are even talking about the fact he changed from black to white, leaving his roots behind!
Last night they were comparing his death to John Lennon but as they said, you can't do that as Lennon was murdered. I think it reminds me more of when Elvis Presley died, although I was about 12 when he died but I remember people crying about his death. Let's hope they find out the truth soon and they let him rest in peace

Playing Jenga with your eyes closed, recon only on your sense of touch, could be quite challenging. Mural is picturing the moment before falling Jenga activates the sense of hearing, the moment in which it is possible for an expected surprise to happen.

Big thanks goes to @famiglia_vienna for making it happen!
As expected, the winter storm has brought several inches of snow to our region and more is forecast today. The windy weather has caused outages around our service area, primarily in South and East King County especially the Enumclaw and Snoqualmie areas.
Über 3.000 Menschen demonstrierten am 29. Januar 2011 für den Erhalt des seit über 20 Jahren existierenden Hausprojektes Liebig 14. Nach verfassungswidrigen Vorkontrollen und Festnahmen durch die Polizei und einem Redebeitrag setzte sich die Demonstration am Kottbusser Tor in Richtung Warschauer Straße lautstark in Bewegung. Viele an der Demorroute liegende Hausprojekte und Mieter_innen solidarisierten sich mit Transparenten mit der Liebig 14. Die etwa 650 Polizist_innen übten sich die meiste Zeit in Zurückhaltung, nahmen jedoch kurz vor dem Frankfurter Tor einige Menschen fest, was zu Flaschen-, Böller-, und Steinwürfen aus der Demonstration heraus führte.
An der Ecke Rigaerstraße/Liebigstraße sorgten Musik, Feuerwerk und Bengalos auf den Dächern für gute Stimmung unter den Demonstrant_innen. Anschließend wurde die wieder anrückende Polizei mit Steinen, Flaschen und Böllern auf Abstand gehalten und Barrikaden aus Bauzäunen und Dixi-Klos auf der Rigaerstraße errichtet. Die Polizei ging mit aller Härte gegen Demonstrant_innen vor, verletzte dabei willkürlich mehrere Menschen und nahm etwa 20 fest.
Die Demonstration dürfte einen kleinen Vorgeschmack auf die am 2. Februar drohende Räumung der Liebig 14 darstellen...

Coming out is hard. It can be difficult to explain how you feel and who you are, especially if you're still trying to "crossdress" figure all of that out yourself. There's a whirlwind, rollercoaster of a journey laid out before you.
But it's okay. No, really, it is. It's the

January 28, 2022 - Melville - At a press briefing in Melville, Long Island, Governor Kathy Hochul today declared a State of Emergency effective at 8 p.m. due to heavy snowfall expected downstate as a coastal storm system will arrive Friday evening bringing more than a foot of snow and gusty winds to parts of Long Island and up to 10 inches of snow in New York City and the lower Hudson Valley. Winds gusting up to 55 mph at times will likely impact travel in several locations and could potentially cause power outages. Governor Hochul is advising New Yorkers in these locations to stay off the roads this weekend to avoid any dangerous travel conditions and allow emergency response crews to complete their missions. Governor Hochul also announced an extension on face masks in businesses and schools until February 10th. (Kevin P. Coughlin / Office of Governor Kathy Hochul )
Expect media blitz next weekend.
Incidentally, this means I shall have to post the English edition to young Daniel in Miami, because there is a simplified Amercan version they get. Also I have just found out the audio version in the US is read by someone other than Stephen Fry! Better send him CDs too.
An unexpected surprise when I went to Spinneys to run some errands. It's a shame that I didn't have my DSLR with me...
A Short Video if it:
I was half expecting to need sunglasses or to sit down due to nausea given how these seats had looked in previous press shots. However I was pleasantly surprised and it wasn't as vivid as I expected. Nice to have decent fabric covered seats after the 57 Heinz varities of seat designs that have appeared on London buses over the years. Quite how comfortable these are remains to be seen.
Yep - those are United Airlines tailfins masked by sheets of rain! My granny used to describe this as: 'hale watter' (whole water - i.e. no spaces between drops!) :-(
We eventually made it to sunny Florida! :-)
On the 11th April 2018 I visited Hythe village for the very first time. Not really knowing what to expect I found it a very beautiful village on the banks of the Southampton water. Hythe is a town near Southampton, Hampshire. It is located by the shore of Southampton Water, and has a ferry service connecting it to Southampton. Hythe has a small shopping area, a pier, and a very picturesque marina for yachts.
The name Hythe means landing place or haven. Hythe is recorded in a Parliamentary roll from 1293. The Hythe ferry to Southampton is marked on a map by Christopher Saxton of 1575, and on a map by John Harrison in 1788. Hythe was part of the parish of Fawley, although it became a separate parish in 1841. The current church, of Saint John the Baptist, was erected in 1874. It is of red brick with Bath Stone dressings. There were at one time even stocks in the village.
Thanks in part to the British Power Boat Company and it’s excellent access to the English Channel, during World War II Hythe was used as a port for the little ships of the Royal Navy as they were then known, the Motor Torpedo Boats and the RAF Air Sea Rescue Boats. In 1960, The Hovercraft Development Company and Sir Christopher Cockerell, who was the founder, moved to Hythe, he did in fact live in one of the houses near to the marina. There was also a small Royal Air Force base in Hythe known as RAF Hythe. Until its closure in September 2006 it was used by the United States Army to service and maintain watercraft.
Hythe was a village up to the 1950’s, but the expansion of Fawley Refinery, now closed, led to a demand for more houses for workers, and Hythe and Dibden Purlieu were allowed to expand into a small town. In 1983, following the growth of Hythe, the parish of Dibden was renamed to Hythe and Dibden, to reflect the importance of Hythe as a new focal point of the Parish
Hythe has a small shopping area clustered around the High Street, which includes a Waitrose Supermarket, a public library, several charity shops, and various small independent retail shops and cafes. The Hythe Pier, Railway and Ferry operates across Southampton Water to Southampton, and is the oldest working pier train in the world. Hythe's position makes it a good viewing point for watching ocean liners arriving and departing at the port of Southampton, which attracts ship spotters to the area. Hythe has a marina, at which a large number of yachts and boats are moored. Large and expensive houses are situated around the marina, overlooking the waterside. This is controlled by large lock gates at the entrance leading out to Southampton Water.
The pier, railway and ferry service are currently operated by Blue Funnel Ferries of Southampton. In October 2016 the previous owners ( White Horse Ferries ) warned their staff of potential redundancy which suggested an uncertain future from the pier and ferry service. After months of talks, Mr. Lee Rayment of Blue Funnel Ferries completed negotiations to acquire the Pier, Train and Ferry with operations starting on 21 April 2017. The railway is the oldest continuously operating public pier train in the world. Hythe Pier stretches 700 yards ( 640 metres ) from the centre of Hythe to the deep water channel of Southampton Water. It is approximately 16 feet ( 4.9 metres) wide, and carries a pedestrian walkway and cycle~way on its northern side and the Hythe Pier Railway on its southern side. During normal high tides the pier is 4 feet ( 1.2 metres ) above the surface of the water. In 1922 the railway was finally reconstructed and electrified, attaining its current form as seen today. The track is laid to 2 ft ( 610 mm ) narrow gauge and is electrified at 250 V DC by a third rail on the seaward side of the track.
Those in the know will recognise the car Volkswagen Passat immediately. Hang around DIY or home furnishings store long enough and you'll see plenty of examples of the 'X' loading.

I had lunch with blogger Biao (http://www.FreeBiao.com/) while I was in San Francisco for Macworld. While I expected to interview him about his life as a Singaporean working in the start-up world in Mountain View, CA, he ended up interviewing me instead. He asked lots of questions which I would have ask other bloggers, so I realized how useful it'd be to try answering them myself.
While the delicious Cha Kway Teow gave me short memory, here are some points I recalled from our first meetup:
1. Blogging as a social responsibility: One of the key notions we discovered was how it is really up to typical people like us to make the internet more useful. Content is still king and machines alone can't do squat without us.
2. Ever had that sinking feeling that your blog is a mish-mash of this and that? It's ok... there's no rule against that and it's all about being comfortable blogging. While I started out blogging about communication theories, I ended up blogging about tech and about my life. It's inevitable and it's perfectly fine for other parts of your life to seep onto your blog. Bloggers don't need to be as specific as Engadget, they can have a "me" blog and still be equally useful thanks to the search engines like Google.
3. Hard work pays off. I'm inspired by Biao's lucky break at a job fair in Stanford which landed him the tech-related job in Mountain View, CA (lots of big corporations there, including Google!) He's in a unique position to blog about his life and experience working there!
So i got the Scooter Ghoulia and was, as expected, dismayed by her green lipstick. But i wanted to see whether it could make sense, so i redressed her in the ComicClub outfit... Or most of it. Actually looks pretty good. A GloomBeach Ghoulia got her dress, which i think is better with the PhysDead leggings. PhysDead Ghoulia got the boots AND the scooter.
