#AudioMo Day 5 a little trip down memory lane has me thinking when do family and friends start becoming strangers to each other?
The Meta/Quest 2 is a standalone VR headset, which means you don't need a computer to use it. If you're just getting into VR, I'd recommend the Quest 2. The price is decent and the performance is superb. It's my VR headset of choice.

Being everywhere at once is an appropriated style I adopted from the speed freaks of the Gordon Gekko generation. Everybody wants everything at once. I don’t have time, they chant. I’m busy, they say. Busy doing what? Everybody’s busy. Everybody is busy being busy. And if you’re not busy, you’re wasting time....
Everybody keeps going on about returning back to normal as if we could carry on living our lives the same way before the pandemic struck. I don’t want to find my way back to normal. I was already tired of the ‘image is everything’ culture we’d been sold through the...
It’s a quote I stumbled upon this morning from Scott Scanlon: I logged into Facebook yesterday and a few of my friends shared pictures of their dinner. It made me think… before social media did people take pictures of their dinner and then when you came over they said… “you...
Ok. Imagine you have just won £10 million in the lottery. Would you quit your current job or would stay on as if nothing has changed? We recorded the next episode of the Havana Cafe Sessions podcast today and our topic was about work and why people do it. During my...
For many years I have traveled in many parts of the world. In America I live in New York, or dip into Chicago or San Francisco. But New York is no more America than Paris is France or London is England. Thus I discovered that I did not know my...
I am awakened by the howling of my neighbor’s cat beneath my window. I had intended to have a lie-in seeing how it is Sunday morning. I don’t usually lie-in. Perhaps my neighbor’s cat realizes this and is trying to keep me from regretting not getting up early. I stumble...
I am glad I did the things I did when I was young. I lived hard and played hard as a soldier and a young man. I see some of these young kids in the call centre and I think what a waste of youth. I am working with a...

(taken at the American Cemetery in Luxembourg, where General Patton is buried. Click here for a larger view) I turned 4o today. And at first I thought I should spend some time reflecting over the past 40 years of my life. But as I sat down to write this post,...
The time for our trip is growing closer. I can feel the pull of the open road. My mind has already begun to dissolve the ordinary world. I am now in that twilight period where I am neither here nor there. I am becoming more aware of the wisdom contained...
I had lunch with my friend Beth of Mosaic fame. I haven’t seen her for months. Yesterday I texted her and when ended up getting into a lively discussion about the merits or demerits of living a green, healthy, spiritually rich life and what is the nature of good energy...

I’m reading Richard Wiseman’s book, Quirkology: the curious science of everyday lives, and in it he talks about the personality profiling work of Hans Eysenck a pioneer in the field of personality research.
