Week Something of the Internet

More random crap. Apparently last week didn't live up to someone's expectations (you know who you are), but I'm afraid this week isn't all that either. 9 to 5 and a 7 month-old baby take up all my bloody time. Pfft.

Anywho. This woman gives birth in a car. It's her third child, and is just fine.

Aeroplanes everywhere!

Deep dreaming. 

Radio broadcasts leave Earth at the speed of light. Scroll away from Earth and hear how far the biggest hits of the past have travelled. The farther away you get, the longer the waves take to travel there—and the older the music you’ll hear.

Cool. 

That's all. Sorry it's late. 

Week Whatever. It's the Internet Who Cares

Back from maternity leave, here I am. Here are things I saved while away, so nothing's really new. Still cool though. 

Here's a lowdown on tattoo styles. 

This is an amazing blog called Jim'll Paint It. Jim paints things in Microsoft Paint.

"Dear Jim, please paint me The Alien Queen, back off maternity leave and bollocking everyone for not using Dropbox properly."

Get your Marvel universe sorted.

If you didn't watch the Women's World Cup, shame on you. England did incredibly well, only falling at the semis due to some really shitty luck. Could have won this thing. USA did though, with an amazing game against Japan. Next one's in France so a great chance to pop across and see it. Roll on 2019! 

The ad below was published just before the Germany game, which we won. 

Sobering. 

America is really big. "This map, by Redditor Hormisdas splits America into five districts with around-equal populations to Britain based on data from the US Census. Speaking to i100.co.uk, he explained that the map is roughly accurate but "the regions are actually a tad bit less than the UK's population, since I rounded up to five regions to make them all equal."

Ever wondered why material on public transport has such a distinctive design? It's not a nice reason. 

Here is a video of a heart transplant. It's mad. And bloody, obviously. 

Week 26, aka. Last Week Until July

We're yet to know just how bad the situation in Nepal is, but safe to say it's far worse than we think it is. With focus seemingly solely on Katmandu, you can't help but wonder how things must be outside of the capital. It's just awful. We can but hold our breath for more moments like this 4 month-old baby being found alive, 22 hours after the building he was in collapsed (or this 15 year-old boy being found 5 days after). Donate here. 

So this is the last week of internet before I, together with wife and our almost 5 month-old boy, head off to Thailand for two months. It's been a very busy week, with unexpected news (of the good kind), and very little time to prepare. It's a bank holiday here tomorrow - thankfully - so I'll be rushing around trying to pack and clean the flat before heading off on Saturday. We've got people staying in our flat for the entire time, which is comforting. I just hope they water my bay leaf tree which has finally started growing. 

Anywho, look at this stadium being turned from a basketball court to an ice-hockey rink. It's pretty neat, as they say over there. 

If you follow me on Instagram you'll know I like beer. IPAs in particular. Here's a handy beer chart to address all your beer questions (get a HUGE version here).

Yes, that's the joke is a great tumblr unwittingly made up by people who don't get the joke. 

You might have heard all the furore surrounding Protein World's 'beach body ready' poster. Carslberg are rather good at newsjacking, and really nailed it this time. 

LEGO fan? Good. You'll like this then. 

I love old stuff. Like my dad (hello, dad). If you like old stuff, old film about London in particular, you'll like this. 

Here's a nice thing to end on. Sorry things are a bit rushed this week, but times are busy. If you're vaguely interested in our travels, head to Jaw to keep an eye on how we're managing. Adios!
