Being a weekly-ish round up of collected news, music, things seen and heard. I do these, then I stop, then I do them again. It feels good to me to turn the ephemeral into a more permanent daybook I can go back to. It reminds me of Robin Sloan‘s concept of “Stock and Flow” that Austin Kleon referred to last year:
“Do you know about this? It couldn’t be simpler. There are two kinds of quantities in the world. Stock is a static value: money in the bank or trees in the forest. Flow is a rate of change: fifteen dollars an hour or three thousand toothpicks a day. Easy. Too easy.
But I actually think stock and flow is a useful metaphor for media in the 21st century. Here’s what I mean:
- Flow is the feed. It’s the posts and the tweets. It’s the stream of daily and sub-daily updates that reminds people you exist.
- Stock is the durable stuff. It’s the content you produce that’s as interesting in two months (or two years) as it is today. It’s what people discover via search. It’s what spreads slowly but surely, building fans over time.”

These are quite long lists. So find them after the jump.
I only kept a record of the films and TV I was watching from June onwards.

As I aim to post more often here these notepads will become much a more stripped down round up of recent links and findings that didn’t quite make it onto their own entry.
I’ve been cleaning up old posts on here. Please have a look.
Things after the break.

This fortnight’s dose of links and internet things.
Above is the railway line down by the Bristol Cut.
“The New Cut is an artificial waterway which was constructed between 1804 and 1809 to divert the tidal river Avon through south and east Bristol, England. This was part of the process of constructing Bristol’s Floating Harbour, under the supervision of engineer William Jessop. The cut runs from Totterdown Basin at the eastern end of St Phillip’s Marsh, near Temple Meads, to the Underfall sluices at Rownham in Hotwells and rejoining the original course of the tidal Avon.”

A batch of biweekly links and things. I actually prepared this a week ago and forgot to post it so who knows some of it might still be relevant.
