• Birthplace of the Staffordshire Regiment

    Colonel Luke Lillingston raised a regiment of foot at the King’s Head on the 25th March 1705.

    This Regiment became the 38th foot in 1751. And was given the title of the 1st Staffordshire Regiment in 1782.

    In 1881 the 38th foot became the 1st BN The Staffordshire Regiment.

  • Medicine man — Dr Dre featuring Eminem.

    I was reminded of this banger of a song tonight from Dr Dre’s Compton Album.

    One of my favourites of Eminem’s features with hard bars that aren’t for the faint-hearted.

    This is always a fun challenge to try. Speed running through the final section of Hillcrest. 🐕🏚️

  • Everybody should have their own website. If they want to.

  • Sherlock at sunrise.

    It’s really nice to get out early with Sherlock for walkies.

    This one took a few days ago but wanted to share. 🐕‍🦺

    The drive to be constantly innovating to sell more new shit, when the shit we have works fine, is ruining technology.

    I don’t want a new phone every year. I don’t want a new computer every six months. I don’t want a software upgrade that changes everything. I don’t want a fancy new language we have to rewrite everything in for reasons.

    I want bug fixes. I want security patches. I want removal of fundamentally broken things. I want big thick manuals with full coverage of every option and setting and function call. I want people to be able to learn programming the way you learn woodworking – as a mature discipline not subject to regular world shaking innovation.

    100% agree with this. No to the shiny shiny all the time.

  • Linkin Park – The Emptiness Machine

    Really digging the new Linkin Park song “The Emptiness Machine”.

    And the new members are a welcome addition.

    Emily fits really well in my opinion and her vocals on this song make me excited for Linkin Park’s future.

    Yes, Chester is missed greatly, and I can’t imagine the pressure of taking his spot, but she’s doing great.

    On their Livestream, a couple of the old songs were a little jarring for me. But only because it’s a new person singing them.

    On the whole she brought something both reminiscent and fresh to the songs I have grown up loving.

    If people hate the idea of lineup changes then tell them to check out Fleetwood Mac – they’ll lose their heads.

  • Listened to Cut to Impress by Maggie Rose

  • Innuendo by Queen

    This album has resurfaced in my life and it just hits a lot differently than it did last time I heard it.

    Every song is an absolute banger that are bookended by two of my favorite Queen songs — Innuendo and The Show must go on.

    The lyrics of These are the days of our lives is especially poignant to me now as a father.

  • Kiki watches me sleep

    The intense stare that only a cat can give.

  • What TV shows did you watch as a kid?

    What TV shows did you watch as a kid?

    I vaguely remember watching Teddy Ruxpin, He-Man and Thundercats as a very young child.

    Pretty standard 80s child I guess.

    I got into the X Files and Buffy in the 90s when I was in high school. I was obsessed with both.

    I think the one constant from a child till now though — with a few breaks between — is actually Neighbours.
