Notes

Just fleeting thoughts that pop into my mind. Or perhaps things I’ve been thinking about that don’t really warrant a full-on post.

  • Good night at Laravel meet up in Birmingham tonight.


  • I had to shell out 20 bucks!… Cowrie shells and deer skins were used as currency, leading to modern slang for money


  • Paper money was first developed by the Chinese using stag skins, bark or parchment with an imperial seal. It caught on in Europe in the 1700s


  • Finally started reading Seagalogy: A study of the kickass films of Steven Seagal. This is amazing. Thanks to @rmlocke


  • Actually managed to make the 7:15 train.


  • Its the little things in life – got an extra chicken dipper in the box. Woot woot.


  • Is that Beck I can hear on the new Chemical Brothers’ album? In the song ‘Wide Open’.


  • This week I’m going to start reading more.


  • Just watched the last boy scout. Great film I haven’t seen since I was at school.


  • So Maplins are still selling blank VHS tapes… at 15 quid a pack!


  • A clearing in the woods

    The monster is loose…


  • Deceptive Geese

    These geese attacked us for our bread… attacked us!
