Geek Gold 1 - Co-worker Attic (Loft) Find The Digital Orphanage 2019-06-03 | We all love those moments when we get to dig around in a box of old computer stuff, not knowing what we might find. Join me as I prospect for geek gold in one such box loaned to me by a co-worker. They were clearing out their attic (loft) for a house move and wanted to know whether any of this was worth selling or should they just skip it (spoiler - No!!!!).*Update - we agreed on a price of £180 for the whole box of goodies. I actually offered £200 but they made a counter offer of £150, so I gave them £180.

Muse War Z - Muse Simulation Theory World Tour - London 01/06/2019 The Digital Orphanage 2019-06-02 | From my vantage point up in the rafters (well that's how the location of my seat felt) the crowd surge as they let the pitch standing tickets holders in, reminded me of a scene from World War Z. Quite apt given the themes in Muse's latest album and the fact they had a song featured in the film. I wonder what it was like to be in that 'swarm', or the human barrier facing it? All I do know is I definitely need to decide on a new smart phone, the camera on my old Nexus 4 really lets me down.
