A blog post on historical architecture in the context of soundsheds -- at Chaco Canyon and, by extension, in Medieval Vorarlberg

Blog post: today it's on ideas of sound as mediator between individual and environment, drawing on Stratoudakis and Papadimitriou (2007), and looking at that 1614 Thalbach snowball fight as an example

blogged today, on a convent sister at Thalbach who becomes Maisterin. She kept a diary, much of which was incorporated into the Convent Chronicle -- and she gives us a lot of details about the world around her. Have a read if you like!

Dev Patel's directorial debut is much more than a Bollywood-flavoured John Wick-clone, offering political commentary and plenty of rage behind it. It's also surprisingly bloody and brutal at times.

Should I Watch..? 'Monkey Man' (2024)

This ultra-violent revenge film wears its influences on its sleeve but delivers something that feels surprisingly unique. Benjamin Cox shares his thoughts.

One of the things that I like about writing is the notion that it is possible to improve, throughout your career. Like Robertson Davies or Leonard Cohen.

"Close to the Wind" is the oldest story in my new collection, The Gates of Polished Horn. (2003) But I think it holds up pretty well.

Today's blog post is on using Transkribus (AI) to self-train in reading 18th-century Kurrentschrift, a handwriting which makes doctor's scrawls look positively legible by comparison.

Nine charming quotes about writing. I think my favorite, at least this morning, is:

This third entry into the franchise works hard to please the fanbase with loads of references, lore and enough CG cuteness to conquer Japan. Luckily, they won't care that the narrative is riddled with plot holes and the human cast are as irritating as ever. Even Carrey's Robotnik is starting to annoy these days. 😕

Should I Watch..? 'Sonic The Hedgehog 3' (2024)

If you haven't been paying attention, you might dismiss this as yet another video-game adaptation that's going to disappoint. But for Benjamin Cox, this series has quietly been rewriting expectations and this third film is tailor-made for the fans.

#AmWriting #AmWatching #Cinemastodon #Shrek #blog

Shrek's third film is a confusing one - a family film that eschews its slapstick humour for a more mature narrative dealing with parental fears and regal responsibility. It's a curious entry that has its highlights but feels a step back from what went before it.

Should I Watch..? 'Shrek The Third' (2007)

Shrek's third film in just six years demonstrated that perhaps there was a limit to how much of the jolly green giant we were prepared to take. Benjamin Cox gets the faint whiff of a dead horse from this one.

Managed to finish a blog about my "silly" autistic thingie that I do, which I shared a here a while ago... 😊

And I created two new book quote posts, both based on Terry Pratchett quotes. He has so many good ones...

So now I'll need to dig through some older snaps to see if there are some good ones to use for my Silent Sunday posts, that I've not used yet... 😊

But I've been doing rather well with the blog, I think. Dunno if all the posts will be good according to others, but I definitely did my best. That's all I can do while writing I guess...

For those wanting to read even more ramblings of mine, besides my long assed toots here, the link to the blog is in my bio. I also try to boost the automated toots of the posts when they go live. 😊

Hope you're all having a good time! #TZAG :chickendance:

I've been busy working on my blog. I like to write stuff in advance when I have the motivation, energy, and time.
With the more busy days coming up, I wanted to make sure that I had some bits ready to be shared.
Sorry I can't Alt text the whole image, as its too much text and sigh all the little images... I could never fully describe everything. But I'll do my best to get as many details in the alt as I can. 😊

My blog can't share on beige when posts go live, so I linked my fit account on another instance to do that. I try to share one post every day, as I've been doing for about 1650 days now. 😊

The direct link to the blog site is:
