Reading: The Computer (a Ladybird book)

You've gotta love retro books. This beauty was £4 on Amazon and dates back to 1971. On its opening page it says [computers] "are fascinating when they are used in rocketry and space research" while "we are inclined to be alarmed by their complex mechanisms" and that "many people think of them as almost human machines with 'brains' that allow them to think".

How cool is that??!

I can solve a Rubik's Cube!

Being able to solve a Rubik's Cube has just been one of those things that I've had for ages on my list of pointless shit to do before I die (I think it's at number 47).

The wife bought me one for my birthday recently so I sat down with it on Saturday and finally figured out how to do the thing...

You know, I always suspected I was ahead of the fashion curve and recently I was proven right. Now, I don't know what this 'bling' stuff is or if it applies to black plastic, but if so, it turns out I have it!
