When did the Internet get so boring?

Now really, all these algorithms tailored to my tastes, youtube, newsfeeds, and despite this, or maybe because of this, the internet has become a boring place. Nothing. Nothing, nothing, nothing. Read the news daily, surf about the net, there's really nothing that catches my eye, makes me think, inspires me, and I've come to the conclusion that it's been hijacked by tedious corporate interests, the meat of it is more digging than I have time for, and I don't have a date, but it's definite, it's certain, that it's become an increasingly dreary place. I need to find something interesting here or I'll go mad...

Coffee, Gorgonzola, Russell Brand

And so, exhausted after a long days job hunt and weird dreams about being pursued by a T-Rex, I woke up and tried to mitigate it with some Gorgonzola cheese, a pot of coffee and a dozen Russell Brand videos on YouTube. 

Which woke me up, a little too much, as I was unable to sleep all night, ragged dreams and restless.

I don't recommend this.

2001

Digging through the locker, the first trove of old photos, scanned into the computer.

And there was this one:

Rod Boyle 2001

Which, at a guess, taken 2001. I'm always amazed when people recognize me on the street, year to year I don't even recognize myself.

Galaxy Lords

On a lighter note, who needs big budgets and special effects teams and brand name actors when independent filmmakers are producing magic like this?

It's like every Marvel and Star Wars film in the past 20 years all rolled into one!!
