  1. #TodaysWalk was to Herne Hill, over the border between #SouthEastLondon and the desperate west, and thence to Brixton Hill and Clapham.

    The border is not very visible as it meanders through Brockwell Park, but there's always someone, or something, watching.

    [Daniel Coe has done and continues to make amazing hydrographic cartography in this regard, see image attached]

    “[T]housands of years of course changes compressed into a single image by a clever mapmaker with an artistic eye. Looking at them, you're invited to imagine the Mississippi as it was during the European exploration of the Americas in the 1500s, during the Cahokia civilization in the 1200s (when this city's population matched London's), when the first humans came upon the river more than 12,000 years ago, and even back to before humans, when mammoths, camels, dire wolves, and giant beavers roamed the land and gazed upon the river…”

  3. A #Meander is a series of curves in a river or other body of water that form a winding, snake-like path.

    Meanders are created by erosion and deposition processes that occur when a river erodes the outside bank of a river channel and deposits sediment on the inside bank.

  4. I've put a couple of things up on my Faircamp today: 'Mod Test' is my first go at doing something structured with VCV, consisting of a Turing Machine based jam and a recording of a thunderstorm I made last year. music.bedlamsteps.uk/meanders/
    'Trance Forever' is a jam that solves the problem of most techno tracks not being long enough: music.bedlamsteps.uk/trance-fo #faircamp #techno #ambient #vcv #music

  6. The usually interesting Paul Graham has written a longgg piece (I guess c. 8k-10k words) which meanders a bit; it is a bit unstructured, and is a gathering of thoughts around getting ‘great work done’. However - that’s the point: it’s a really interesting and worthwhile read, with lots of nuggets of wisdom throughout. The journey is the point!

  7. Dzisiaj skromnie, gdyż przyznaję, że w ostatnich dwóch tygodniach mało słyszałem rzeczy, które rzeczywiście mogę polecić.

    1. Millie Manders and the Shutup, album "Wake up, shut up, work" - zaczynamy od zespołu, który nie gra w "moich" klimatach (ska), ale jakiś czas temu został mi polecony tutaj, na Mastodonie i nie powiem, fajne to. Ta płyta ma lepsze (szybsze) i gorsze (wolniejsze) momenty, ale ogółem dobrze się przy niej bawiłem. Mam wrażenie, że środkowe utwory mocno obniża ocenę tego albumu.

    2. Agabas - a to ciekawe. Miałem już do czynienia z deathjazzem (w postaci zespołu The Shining), ale tutaj mamy do czynienia nie z eksperymentalną muzyką, tylko po prostu czymś utrzymanym w mniej więcej stałym stylu, który - co prawda - nudzi się po jakimś czasie, ale zanim to zrobi, to ciekawi. Gdy tylko uchwycimy death metal, wchodzi saksofon. Gdy oswoimy się z saksofonem, wchodzi growl. Nieczęste połączenie i pewnie dlatego zwróciłem na nie uwagę, choć przyznam, że po jakimś czasie wszystko zaczęło zlewać mi się w jedną melodię.

    3. Negator, album "Lvx Haeresis" - bardzo mocno słychać tutaj język niemiecki, nawet za mocno jak na mój gust (jeśli chodzi o brzmienie), natomiast muzycznie to robi robotę. A przy drugim utworze zacząłem myśleć, że zaczynam słuchać zespołu Blackbraid (zwłaszcza, że był kolejny na playliście). To ostatnie wydawnictwo tego zespołu i choć nie zawojował mojego serca, to gdzieś tam zwrócił uwagę.

  11. Horseshoe Bend is a breathtaking natural wonder located in northern #Arizona, USA. The Colorado River as it meanders has carved out this horseshoe shaped curve in the sandstone creating a breathtaking view from above and below. It is about 1000 feet from the desert floor to the surface of the river.

    I love these mountains we call home... Nestled amidst the picturesque Blue Ridge Mountains, a peaceful stream meanders gently through the forest, so very peaceful.
