Occasional links - 12.09.2020

Hello, 

Yeah it's late again. It was a busy week for 'interesting things I've found whilst wasting time looking at my fondleslab on the loo' and my notes app is brimming with lovely 1's and 0's of goodness laced with superlatives to send you. Maybe you're on your third IPA or opening another bottle of Aperol rather than coffee this time. Whatever you're doing I hope you're having a lovely weekend. 

Awkward family photos dot com
Exactly what you expect. Thanks Emily. 

Is Neil Buchanan Banksy?
I mean he could be. It could be the guy from Massive Attack, but it's almost certainly Neil. I won't be taking any further questions at this time.

Why we didn't get flying cars and teleportation
Spolier: physics and energy. But still an interesting read. 

Those boats in Texas paraded at the wrong speed
Why did the flotilla have so many issues? Beautiful analysis from the FT and sans politics.  

The best juggling video you will see this week
I promise. Can't quite process it. 

Ramesses II had a French passport in 1974
Rule are rules and even ancient Egyptians need to obey French border rules. 

Orange skies of San Francisco
Terrifying in every way. The comparisons to Blade Runner seem apt. And bonus article of why your phone can't capture them properly. 

True kindness is locking your friend out of their social media accounts
Going do this on holiday. Maybe. 

72 years of IKEA catalogues
All scanned in and available online. Via the awesome Kottke.org and as the link says, it's kind of cute they think there will be a 2021 one! Of course it's hard to think of IKEA without this scene from Fight Club. 

Bond On The Run: A Close Look At Daniel Craig's Form

That’s when we encountered something interesting: Early Bond’s didn’t run. It just wasn’t sexy. They had wonderful driving, martial arts, firearms, and lady-charming skills, but they never ran. You want to get somewhere the 007 way? You take a pimped out speedboat, or a personal jetpack.

Fun article with full running analysis of Mr Craig in recent bond adventures. Thanks to Will for the link. 

That's all for this week. Hope you enjoy the rest of the weekend and do whatever it is you enjoy the most with who you love the most. 

Bayeeeee and love as always,
