Loop Lamp
carlmhbarenbrug:
Finnish-designer and co-founder of Aimo Design, Timo Niskanen has created the beautifully minimal Loop table lamp. The efficient loop shaped LED lamp is designed to stand the test of time by remaining classic and stately in its form. Although currently a prototype, the production of this lamp is surely imminent.

Got nothing to post at the moment so I’ll just say that I am really really enjoying listening to the copy of Locrian’s Territories which came through the door yesterday. I am also reading David Mitchell’s Ghostwritten at the moment, which is superb.

I had heard that it was the standard hardcore venue before closing down or changing ownership or something, but it seems to be back up and running again and is apparently still hosting hardcore. People complain that it’s a bit out of the way, but if it continues to put on gigs...

I have tranferred all the music from my laptop onto an external hard drive to free up space on the laptop. The music was previously taking up over 100GB of my 120GB hard drive, which was hardly an optimal solution.

The Danger of E-books →
In an age where business dominates our governments and writes our laws, every technological advance offers business an opportunity to impose new restrictions on the public. Technologies that could have empowered us are used to chain us instead.
With printed books,
You can buy one with cash, anonymously.
