Cassette cover art
A few years ago I wrote that I had successfully digitised my precious collection of music tapes. The same announcement also mentioned a collection of ready-to-use pictures to use for cover art. Well, my stash of envelopes full of small pictures turned up again a few days ago. So I emptied out their contents over the scanner. Continue reading

Everything is broken
It’s that time of the year again. Everything is broken. Nothing gets completed but everything got complicated. Continue reading
Being Human
Today I learnt a very valuable lesson about humanity. We need not fear machines. We need to fear those who steer them because those who control the machines pursue not death and mayhem but, rather, take aim at commercial targets. And what’s more human than greed? Empathy. Continue reading

A response from the barrister
While writing the previous blog posting about the physical, honest-to-goodness paper letter from a 419 scammer that had come my way, I also attempted something of an email conversation with the perpetrator.

The letter from the barrister’s wife
Everybody gets to taste some spam while it slips through our filters to find its way into our mailboxes before we dutifully delete it without as much as sparing another thought about its contents and origins.
