Things I Have Enjoyed & Learnt 019

Long time, no see.

Things I Have Enjoyed

Kein Kölsch für Nazis (No Beer For Nazis) by Querbeat, which I somehow forgot to mention when we got back from Cologne, the home of Kölsch.

Leeds Building Society deciding that it's going to stop offering Holiday Let Mortgages in certain postcodes.

The reveal 24 seconds into this game trailer.

Assume That I Can from the Down's Syndrome Association.

Conway's Game of Life in 3 dimensions. I wish there were a way to have this displayed on a wall.

"sometimes when i get high i play muted nilered videos at 7x speed and play flim by aphex twin over it and its the highlight of the night every time"

Glasgow. It was as good as any of the European cities we've been to, and better than a lot of them.

This perfectly executed tree felling.

I'm the Draft List at This Brewery, and No, You Can't Have a Light Beer

Sure, we made a “normal” IPA once. But then we were like, why make a beer that’s enjoyable to drink when we could make a beer that’s not? So now we’re brewin’ with the craziest shit, dude, for real. I’m talkin’ ice cream sandwiches, In-N-Out cheeseburgers, grandma’s rigatoni. If it sounds like a mistake, we’re brewin’ it and we’re callin’ it something like, “I Bet You’ve Never Seen a Penguin Drive a Sportscar.”

The unit of temperature is named after Lord Kelvin, who is named after the River Kelvin in Glasgow.

There is already a coordinate system for the Moon. The Prime Meridian runs right down the centre of the side of the Moon which faces Earth, and the kilometre zero is a crater called Mösting A.

There is CSS for displaying sheet music.

The Early Learning Centre is still big in the UAE, and Mothercare is huge in Belarus.

The End

Until next time ...
