Songman's Rest: May 2013
http://songmansrest.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
Rantings about love, life, and the poor end of the stall. Friday, 31 May 2013. To cut through a huge swathe of narrative already, my morning ritual revolves around the first tea of the day; if I miss it, I become some horrid abortion of humanity. It isn't pretty. Eucharist is ruined and I'm in danger of swearing at well, everybody, regardless of age or station. On the other hand, there's nothing quite like leaving things until the last minute to give you motivation, something I've clung to for years now ...

Waiting for Her : Our Love Affair with Artificial Intelligence. But all of this - I hate to break it to you - is never going to happen. Unfortunately, and with significant parallels to my brush with theism, my belief in AI eventually dissolved as I drifted into agnosticism and then lost my faith altogether. I was left with a healthy dose of cynicism and a heart broken by our impotent technology. Sure, there are plenty of promising experiments - Google’s DeepMind. Prologue: Christmas Season in Berlin.

Songman's Rest: November 2013
http://songmansrest.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Rantings about love, life, and the poor end of the stall. Friday, 22 November 2013. Coming out of retirement to write about video games. It feels so cliched. How long has it been? Recently, I decided to just take the plunge and buy a game brand new off the shelf. No, it isn't Arkham Origins. Which we'll get on to in a minute), but instead the latest and greatest horse from SUDA51's venerable stable, Grasshopper Manufacture, Killer Is Dead. His name is doubtlessly inspired by Frank Zappa. Or possibly ...

Songman's Rest: Pastures New
http://songmansrest.blogspot.com/2014/03/pastures-new.html
Rantings about love, life, and the poor end of the stall. Saturday, 1 March 2014. It finally happened. I finally started a new blog. It feels like it's been longer than it actually has been, I mean two months is two months. But anyway. I guess I made the first step in moving on. Obviously I'm leaving this all here, unedited (for now), because that will never come back to haunt me at an inappropriate time in my future career. Tune in already as I've published even at this early stage. See you next time.

Songman's Rest: All's well that ends well...?
http://songmansrest.blogspot.com/2013/12/alls-well-that-ends-well.html
Rantings about love, life, and the poor end of the stall. Tuesday, 31 December 2013. All's well that ends well? This is it. I was never really sure when I started how or when this would end, but I think we're here. Complex, not complicated. The thing is, things have changed. The tagline at the top, "Love, life, and the poor end of the stall" are no longer really. Appropriate. Let's deconstruct:. I consider myself formally retired from actively pursuing any sort of love life. Isn't that sad? When I set my...

Songman's Rest: October 2013
http://songmansrest.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Rantings about love, life, and the poor end of the stall. Monday, 21 October 2013. Out of the Deep. To say that I've kept this blog at arm's length for the past month would be an understatement. I've been struggling with block since the new choir year started actually, not least because moving out was dreadful, but also the impact of actually being a "grown up" (in the loosest usage of the term to date) is quite. disquieting? Is that what I mean? Even after three years, no names and a slew of cultural re...

Songman's Rest: March 2013
http://songmansrest.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
Rantings about love, life, and the poor end of the stall. Thursday, 28 March 2013. Do I know you? Another week, another life. Part of me says that I shouldn't grumble so much, but I don't know, there's so much catharsis. Hah! Things are pretty good actually. My personal arc of esteem/value/enjoyment is swinging to the better side finally, my days have been moderately high functioning, nothing too exciting yet. If so, what feedback can they give me? Yeah, aggressive, I think that's a good word. A type of ...

Songman's Rest: June 2013
http://songmansrest.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Rantings about love, life, and the poor end of the stall. Wednesday, 26 June 2013. Looking at the date on my watch, it's been a full. 13 days since the last time I published anything. How awful! I have been alternately depressed and busy over the preceding fortnight, so there's that. I have been thinking about what I should write about, but not really hitting any bulls eyes:. I have a new phone now and I have no idea what I'm doing. How the hell did a Bejeweled clone take over Facebook. And ended up rock...

Songman's Rest: July 2013
http://songmansrest.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
Rantings about love, life, and the poor end of the stall. Tuesday, 30 July 2013. I can't imagine it happened before I started writing surely not? Oh I can't find anything, not even circumstantial evidence from that time I went to a Green Party social in the Eton Cottage (pictures are on my laptop, not on the internet) and looked the then-leader of the Green Party for Norwich straight in the eye, after firmly shaking his hand, and answered the question "So what's your interest in the Green Party? Living a...
