I know you don’t normally do this but I found this pair of glasses outside the Trinity Capital Hotel on Pearse Street [Dublin] at lunchtime….I’ll leave them into Pearse Steet Garda station later on. In the meantime they can be collected from where I work on Pearse St if the owner recognises them. Just drop me a mail with the phone number and I’ll get in touch.
Damn absent-minded, ironically severe designer eye-wear wearing hipster.

I’ve been asking people what they listen to for a year now and so many people have deserted traditional radio altogether which is a great shame.
People still love music though so they have replaced their terrestrial radio listening with online radio/spotify/deezer and their own playlists which are by their nature a bit less structured than traditional radio.

The charming and foul-mouthed DIY/cosplay Nerdists Holly Conrad and Jessica Merizan learn how to make puppets with the even more charming Julie Zobel of the Jim Henson Creature Shop.

A family photo, still crumpled from being stuffed inside the pocket of a space suit, left on the Descartes highlands of the moon and photographed beside an imprint of his own foot by astronaut Charles Duke in 1972.
One presumes that both the photo and the footprint are still there, forty years on. As far as we know, it hasn’t rained.
