The Machine That Changed the World

Waxy.org have posted online all the episodes of this documentary, which I’d not seen before, but which is fascinating in a thoroughly geeky and pre-intertube way:

So far I’m just into episode II, dealing with ENIAC and the breakthrough of computing machines into business. Thankfully I’m not quite old enough to remember punch-cards.

Breakfast

Long time no post. It’s been a busy few months and no mistake. Although not strictly cheese related, I felt I just had to share The London Review of Breakfasts. Great reviews, on a great subject, one dear to my heart. Not deeming it sufficient simply to review the food in question, most of the reviewers also recount the state of their minds at the time of the breakfast. Call it metaphysical reviewing. Whatever you call it, it works for me. A good bunch of folks with an unhealthy outlook on life, and a great love of the first meal of the day.

I can’t help but think that Pellici’s got a bit of harsh treatment though. Having said that, I wouldn’t know what their breakfast is like, since I only ever eat Cannelloni and chips there. But oh what chips.
