Client: Why are BOTH these tablets already dead? What were you doing on them and why weren't they charged?
Me: …Did you try turning them on?
Client: How the hell am I supposed to turn them on? I don't know how to do that!
Me: How do you turn your iPhone on?
She then stares at me blankly as I pressed the button on the top right edge of the tablet - the near-exact same spot where the power button is on her iPhone - and sure enough, it powers up to 100%, ready to use.
Client: …Well, why did you turn them off in the first place?

Got a poster design job. The client worked for someone who was converting their nightclub to a restaurant.
Client: We need a poster done, and a double-sided flyer so we can pass out, and we need it tomorrow. We want it to be fashionable and trendy.
It was 9pm when I got the message.
Me: It's not possible. I need more time than that.
Client: Ok, the latest we can do is the day after tomorrow.
Me: I will try my best. Please give me the info you want on there along with examples of designs you want.
Client: Here's our logo, and here's some text we might change. Make it scream fashion!
Me: Have you not finalized that? We don't have much time.
Client: We'll finalize it tomorrow.
Me: …
I made a design I really liked, sent it through the next day.
Client: This is not fashionable.
Makes another one, sent that night.
Client: Still not fashionable!
Me: Okay, can you give me an example of what's "fashionable" so I have a better idea of what you mean?
The client sends me this tacky poster, I hated it, but I made something like that.
Client: My boss said no to this one. Here are the images he sent.
The Images that were sent were old posters when it was a club: lens flare, dancing girls, table service…
I did what I was asked.
Client: Ok, boss approved. Good job!
I got paid, but I died a little.

I do freelance graphic design on top of a full time job. I make sure my clients know this so we can schedule accordingly. A friend contacted me asking if I had time to do a flyer for his new business. All he sent me was a photo of their business card and some text.
Me: I work the rest of the week but I'll have a little time to work on it at night.
Client: No rush on it. We're really not ready to launch much yet. We just want something ready and want to see what you can do.
Me: Okay, no problem.
Tuesday evening:
Client: How's it coming?
Me: Well I'm still at work so I haven't had time to work on it. So I'll have to message you when I get home.
Client: Like I said, no rush.
Wednesday morning:
Client: How's it coming?
Me: Well I'm at work but I'll be working on it again tonight.
Client: Okay, no problem.
Wednesday evening:
Client: How's it coming?
I show him my work.
Client: Okay. No rush. We just want to get it printed and mailed this weekend.
Client: How's it coming?
Me: I'm at work I'll have to message you after.
Client: Just let me know when you're going to email me your stuff. We want it printed by this weekend so I don't want to rush you.
Friday 7:15am:
Client: How's it coming?
Me: I just woke up and I work today. I'll be working on it after work.
Client: Okay no problem. We just wanna get them in the mail hopefully today. Email me when you're home.
"No rush" apparently means four days that I work my regular job. Which means I'm charging a rush fee.

Client: Hey, we looked up the name we were going to use and a lot of other tech companies already have that name. Just use this fake name in all the presentation materials until we decide on our new actual name.
There is so much wrong with this I don't even know where to start.

Client: I can't log in to the network!
Me: Did you check your cables?
Client: Of course!
Suspicious, I checked the ethernet cable… and then actually pushed it into the socket.
Client: Oh! That works now!

A client was using WordPress for their website CMS with a very old theme installed, one that didn't allow for a lot of design flexibility. A few months ago they were thinking of switching to Squarespace so I sent them a deck outlining the differences between WP and Squarespace, but they never asked about it again.
This morning:
Client: I am so frustrated with our website backend and the complete lack of design flexibility it affords. I want our pages to be DYNAMIC! Our PRINTED material (attached) is WAY more dynamic than our web page. How can this be? I would love any insights you have.
Me: As for print vs web design, that's kind of a big discussion…Not sure how to articulate how your CMS works via email in a way that would address your frustrations, but I can jump on a call to explain and take your questions.
Client: I obviously understand that there are differences…however, it seems like our backend is particularly limiting to design, no?
Me: Remember this thing I sent over a while back? [link to deck] it might address some of your concerns on how WP works.
Client: I don't really have the time to educate myself on website design.
Oh. I guess I was mistaking "asking questions" for "wanting to know answers." My mistake.

I'm a programmer for a start-up, building a web system for medics. The app is cloud-based and has a free-trial period of 14 days.
Client: Hey – I paid for my subscription, but I still see the "free-trial" button. What gives?
Me: That's really weird, sorry! I'll give it a look.
I started scouring the app's code to find out what could be producing an error like this, but everything seemed okay.
Me: Sorry to bother you, but could you send me a screenshot of your error so I can try to reproduce it?
Client: Sure, here you go.
He sent the screenshot, but it wasn't of the app – it was our website, where the promo banner said: "start your free trial."

An old client of mine asked me to send him a layout so that his team could edit it.
It was a really simple design, so I figured I'd comply – it would make both our lives easier if I wasn't responsible for every change. I sent him the open PDF.
Client: You must have sent the wrong file. I can't change anything.
I sent him the AI file.
Client: Nope, still doesn't work. I can't even open that one.
We had a bit of a back and forth before I realized he was trying to edit BOTH files in Acrobat Reader.

I was designing faceplates for a small guitar amplifier company. I delivered the files drawn to every specification the client provided (even though his technical drawings were sloppy and hard to read).
Me: … and here's the second faceplate.
Client: Awesome! But the first hole looks too far to the right– it should be 0.8 inches away from the side.
Me: It is 0.8 inches from the side.
Client: No, look, the space looks way bigger than that.
Me: Well, if you look at that little box there it shows that the distance between the side and the hole is exactly 0.8".
Client: The space needs to be smaller.
Me: If I make it smaller it won't line up with the other components. I assure you it fits the technical dimensions you sent me.
Client: I don't know man, it just looks too wide.
I changed it after a few emails back and forth and him "wondering if I was looking at the right measurement." He paid in full, and he's ordering the faceplates today.
I'm expecting an email demanding I change it back in 5, 4, 3, 2….
I love the icy resolve of this web developer.

I work part-time as a tech for some smaller clinics and medical facilities in the city. Most of the time the work is a simple installation of programs, troubleshooting, or teaching doctors how to use their devices.
As of lately, however, a few of the doctors started tackling issues on their own. Entirely commendable but, they have broken their fair share of equipment lately because they just don't know tech very well.
Thus at one site, the "chief" asked me to provide basic training for our doctors. During this training, I kept getting a lot of confused looks when talking about navigating Word.
Client: I'm clicking and it's not working.
Me: (clicking to test) It's definitely working, let me see you try.
Client: It doesn't work!
I look to see what's going on when he clicks. Turns out, the right-click menu appears.
Me: Are you left-clicking?
Client: No! It's easier for me to right-click. Left clicking makes my finger hurt.
I had to proceed to label each different button on their mouse with a silver Sharpie and explicitly say "Click 1" or "Click 2" from that point on.
What's worse is some of them are still in their 20s and don't know how to use a computer.
Doctors don't intimidate me anymore.

I do freelance voiceover on a popular website.
A client asked me two weeks ago to record three nursery rhyme songs for her, to which I happily agreed to.
She sent me the instrumental track and the lyrics for the first song. I sent her the final product, after asking for a few audio reference tracks, to make sure I emulated her vision. Two days later:
Client: Is there a way you can make your voice sound… more like an adult?
Me: How do you mean?
Client: You know. Like an adult teacher, singing to her class. Like an average person.
Me: So, a bit less energetic in sound, and more straightforward?
Client: Yes! Well, that…And lower.
Me: Lower? Like in pitch?
Client: Lower. Like an adult.
After confirming that she did want to change the song's key, I explained to her that I would be more than happy to either sing down the octave or wait until she could transpose the music a few steps down.
Client: I found this music instead. Let's go with this?
The file she sent me was another file, to a different song, still in an incredibly high key. I sent her a sample, to which she unexpectedly approved. I recorded the entire song and sent it to her.
Three days pass by with no response. Finally:
Client: This isn't working out. I've decided to go with someone who can sing higher (!!!!). Hopefully we can work on another project in the future.
No… I… I don't think we will.

I was doing an ad for a company. They wanted to show that they provide excellent customer service.
I chose a stock image of a smiling woman standing at a desk, in an office with a headset on. The image projected everything the client said they were looking for: open, friendly, approachable, helpful, etc. I did the ad with their tagline and logo. Easy job – or so I thought.
Client: We don't like her in the office, can you have her outdoors? What about changing the color of her hair? Not crazy about blondes. Can she be by a car or van instead? Take off her headset, she doesn't look professional. We don't like her dress, can you put her in something more casual, like a tennis outfit? I think if she were more "mom-like," our customers would connect with her better. Her eyes are too blue and she looks too sexy. Make her plainer and change her eye color.
It didn't stop there.

I was doing a commissioned embroidery:
Me: So roughly how big would you like this piece?
Client: Um… About the size of a digestive biscuit?
Yeah, because there's no better unit of measurement than "snacks."

We develop software and provide hardware from a third party the software runs on. We contacted a client to do a simple upgrade kit swap. This client is a serial meddler and can't just leave things alone and must always have some kind of input himself.
Me: We're sending the new kit down to you today, a courier from the hardware supplier will collect the old kit in a couple days. Our guy will install the new stuff when he delivers it.
Client: Got it, we'll handle that.
A couple days pass, the client calls in a panic.
Client: Nothing is working, we came in this morning and it's all wonky!
Me: Strange the engineer tested everything after the install…
Client: Oh… I may have swapped the kit myself.
Me: Why would you do that? We told you our guy was going to do the install. Where is the new kit now?
Client: I boxed it up last night and I gave it to the courier this morning.
Me: You did what?
Client: Can you get it back? I really need to be back up and running very soon…
Me: …We'll see.
It's been two days now and we're still waiting on the new hardware getting sent back. The client has also agreed to pay for our engineer to attend the site again and re-install the new kit.

We were asked to do an internal video for a large corporate to show how the company wants a dynamic team.
Client: The video definitely can't showcase any of our people or the office itself. I thought we should have some clips from Martin Luther King, Bill Gates and a couple of other big names.
Me: Ok, so none of your staff are to be in it, understood.
Client: Well there obviously needs to be some of the staff in it, 7-8 at least. I thought you guys were experts!

Client: We want you to do a video for our new brand. We need two separate edits for social and the website.
Me: Okay great, can you send a creative brief with more detail and we'll give you a quote.
Client: We just want it to tell the story of the brand.
Me: We're going to need more detail than that. Do you have a deadline or timeframe for the project?
Client: Well the brand launches next week so we need it for then.

I bought this card for a woman whose husband loved Johnny Cash. He died suddenly a few weeks ago. He had always said that when he died he didn't want a funeral, that he wanted his friends to gather at a bar and drink a glass of whiskey or something else in his memory while a Johnny Cash song played in the background. And his family honored those wishes. In that vein I wanted to search for a card that was not the usual bereavement card. I had the idea of something related to Johnny Cash and I found this beautiful card with the perfect cover words and illustration. I was able to personalize it with my own words, which were imprinted inside the card. Needless to say, my friend loved the personal nature of the card and how fitting it was to her husband's interests. The card arrived very quickly and in perfect condition. I am very happy with all aspects of this purchase. Thank you.

After 30 years as a senior design engineer in the automotive field I missed the creative aspects that some parts of my job entailed. Years earlier before career and business became paramount I had done portrait work of grade school mates in charcoal and fun work in pastels, along with Currier & Ives style oil painting later on. I wanted to break free from those constraints that engineering tends to impose and develop my own body of abstract work that I could continue to evolve in a multitude of directions as the spirit and materials moved me. I work interchangeably with various types of inks, watercolors, acrylics and collage elements on watercolor paper, Yupo paper, masonite, claybord and canvas. Many of my pieces start by adding...

Theartevangelist.com - Art Kit Walmart. Some of these earliest known art (pre-historic cave and rock art) comprises wild life. However, it may be more correctly regarded as art about food, rather than art about wildlife since a result. Then for a great deal of the remainder of the heritage of art in the western world, art depicting wildlife has been mostly absent, due to the simple fact that art during that time was mostly dominated by narrow viewpoints on reality, such as religions. Recently, wildlife art has turned into a well known and important art subject.
Beautifully developed objects will help change our interior surroundings into a venue for residing and entertaining that expresses our own taste and sorts our individual distinct haven to share with spouse and children and friends. Metal wall art has been cleverly accustomed to express art from various artwork durations and artwork actions in a very way that's both of those attractive and appeals to the mood of well-known lifestyle in present-day modern environments.
The Renaissance age teaches us of the way art received excellent enlightenment, fame, and patronage. This was largely influenced by the Medici family's involvement and the efforts of the excellent scholars who always liaised with the ruling class. It is interesting to know the way the ruling class also massively supported the analysis of art and the discovery of gifts. Powerful courses can be gleaned by the whole-hearted support into the growth of art from the Renaissance age- the art illumination and restricted period. This is certainly related to Art Kit Walmart.See Also: Art Therapy Trauma

Today is Friday, which used to be my day for cat stories but is now also the day here for creatures of other sorts. But for old times sake, I just got google to tell me some cat news, having had a busy day and not having any recently encountered creature stories of my own to muse upon.
And without doubt, the most intriguing yarns google told me about were these ones, published by cryptoslate.com:
How Two Guys Made $100k Trading Digital Cats on Ethereum, Merit of Digital Collectibles
CryptoKitties Keeps With Ethereum and Goes Open-Source
Millions of Dollars Worth of Cats are Still Infesting the Ethereum Network
The last paragraph of the last of these three stories goes thus:
While CryptoKitties may sound laughable to some, the exuberant on-boarding of Ethereum is sending positive signals around the network. And in fact, CryptoKitties now accounts for around 4% of all Ethereum transactions; it's the second most used application on the network. CryptoKitties definitely proves there is definitely market for rare, fungible, digital assets that are traded and exchanged on the blockchain.
Twitter is causing ever more interesting things to pile up on my computer screen, and slow everything down. (I know, "bookmarks". Hate them.) So, here is a blog posting consisting of such links. Which I can come back to and follow through on but probably never will, but possibly just might.
Eyebrows - we all have them, but what are they actually for?
The Kremlin has a Reckless Self-Image Problem.
Via 6k, how to take bizarre photos by stuffing wire wool into a egg whisk, setting the wire wool on fire, and swinging all that around on a rope. Do not try this at home, unless you want to burn down your home.
Next, a Twitter posting about cactus patterns:
So frustrating! My cactus patterns are going viral on FB, but the person who posted the photo of them a) didn't credit me and b) deletes any comments I write responding to people asking for the patterns.
But what if she made that up? As a ruse to get the world to pay attention to her cactus patterns? Or, what if she hired, in good faith, some sleazy "internet marketer" who deliberately posted her photos on some faked-up Facebook site, minus any credit, told her about it, and then blocked her complaints? The sleazy internet marketer then advised her to complain about this to all and sundry, knowing that all and sundry would sympathise. She seems like an honest person, doing honest business, which is why I pass this on. But a decade of internetting has made me cynical.
Next, a Spectator piece about someone called Scaramucci, who is writing a book about Trump. The piece says more about Scaramucci than it does about Trump, but his book sounds like it will be quite good. Scaramucci sounds like he has his head screwed on right, unlike a lot of the people who write Trump books.
Also in the Spectator, Toby Young realises that his wife is smarter than he is. And she chose to stay at home and raise their kids because that's what she wanted to do. You can feel the tectonic plates of Western Civilisation shifting back towards stay-at-home mumhood, even as mere policy continues to discourage it. Jordan Peterson, take a bow. That man is already raising the birth rate in rich countries, by encouraging both fatherhood and motherhood. The only question is: By how much? Trivially, or significantly? My bet, with the passing of a bit of time: significantly.
George Bernard Shaw tells it like it was and is about Islam. I lost track of how I chanced upon that, but there it is. These days, GBS would probably get a talking-to from the Thought Police, a talking-to which might well include the words: "We're not the Thought Police". If the Thought Police were to have a go at her, they just might get an earful themselves.
Mike Fagan liked this photo of Mont Saint Michel with sheep in the foreground. I can't any longer find when he liked it, but he did. Reminds me of this Millau Viaduct photo, also with sheep in the foreground.
Boaty McBoatface got turned into David bloody Attenborough, but Trainy McTrainface proudly rides the railway lines of Sweden. As usual, You Had One Job supplied no link (so no link to them), but here's the story.
Thank you Paul Marks for telling me about someone telling me about Napoleon's greatest foe. His name? Smith.
The sun is now spotless, or it was on April 11th.
David Baddiel has doubts about the bloke who said "gas the Jews" rather a lot, to a dog. As do I. It should be legal, but don't expect me to laugh.
All of which leads to the correct Brexit stance to be taking. No deal. We'll go to unilateral free trade and the rest of you can go boil your heads. We'll give it a couple of decades and we'll see who is richer, OK?
Quillette: The China Model Is Failing.
The three temporarily separate Elizabeth lines.
Anton Howes on Sustained Economic Growth.
John Arnold made a fortune at Enron. He is now spending some of it on criticising bad science.
Human genes reveal history. This book is number (about) twenty on my to-read list.
Philip Vander Elst on How Communism Survived Thanks to Capitalist Technology.
And finally, Bryan Caplan still thinks this is pretty good.
I now feel much better. And more to the point, my computer seems a lot sprightlier than it was. This has been the computerised equivalent of cleaning my room. The job is not done, but I have taken a chunk bite out of it.
At the time I took that photo, in Lower Marsh, I was with someone else, and just grabbed the shot before moving on at once. But I reckon it came out really well.
Wikipedia tells us of Mickey Mouse's compiucated origin. He was a replacement for a rabbit, and before a mouse was arrived at, it seems that many other animals were considered:
Mickey Mouse was created as a replacement for Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, an earlier cartoon character created by the Disney studio for Charles Mintz, a film producer who distributed product through Universal Studios. In the spring of 1928, with the series going strong, Disney asked Mintz for an increase in the budget. But Mintz instead demanded that Walt take a 20 percent budget cut, and as leverage, he reminded Disney that Universal owned the character, and revealed that he had already signed most of Disney's current employees to his new contract. Angrily, Disney refused the deal and returned to produce the final Oswald cartoons he contractually owed Mintz. Disney was dismayed at the betrayal by his staff but determined to restart from scratch. The new Disney Studio initially consisted of animator Ub Iwerks and a loyal apprentice artist, Les Clark, who together with Wilfred Jackson were among the few who remained loyal to Walt. One lesson Disney learned from the experience was to thereafter always make sure that he owned all rights to the characters produced by his company.
In the spring of 1928, Disney asked Ub Iwerks to start drawing up new character ideas. Iwerks tried sketches of various animals, such as dogs and cats, but none of these appealed to Disney. A female cow and male horse were also rejected. They would later turn up as Clarabelle Cow and Horace Horsecollar. A male frog was also rejected. It would later show up in Iwerks' own Flip the Frog series. Walt Disney got the inspiration for Mickey Mouse from a tame mouse at his desk at Laugh-O-Gram Studio in Kansas City, Missouri. In 1925, Hugh Harman drew some sketches of mice around a photograph of Walt Disney. These inspired Ub Iwerks to create a new mouse character for Disney. "Mortimer Mouse" had been Disney's original name for the character before his wife, Lillian, convinced him to change it, and ultimately Mickey Mouse came to be.
Those two paragraphs are, at Wikipedia, crammed with links. Follow the link above and scroll down to where it says "Origin", if you want to follow any of these links.
I will, however, honour the amazingly named Ub Iwerks with a link from here. I wonder how he was pronounced. His dad was from Germany, and I think I know how they'd have said the name there. But, Ub (!?!) was born in Kansas. When it came to Amercans pronouncing foreign names, all bets were off. My guess is there were lots of Germans where the Iwerks family grew up, and thus it was not felt necessary to do any name changing.
Blog and learn.
A lot of the stuff at Digital Photography Review these days is about money-no-object high-end DSLR cameras, and about the many different money-no-object lenses you can shove on the front of DSLRs. When DPRev descends from this Olympus (or this Canon or this Nikon) they usually then prattle on about the cameras on smartphones.
But this report, even though it says it's about DSLRs, I did find interesting. Canon have filed a patent for a new sort of bigger flip out screen, in other words a bigger version of the sort of screen that I for one could not now do without:
While a hinged DSLR rear display is nothing new, Canon's patent shows a design that would allow for a large and reversible display unlike anything we've seen before. In fact, the LCD shown in the patent's illustrations covers the entire back of the camera, making it necessary to tuck the rear dial and several buttons behind it, though several others are exposed on either side of the viewfinder.
I can remember when flip out screens were held in contempt by the DSLR fraternity. But many of us digital snappers took to them with eagerness, having worked out that there are many photos that are pretty much unphotoable without such screens. The one where you hold your camera as high as you can above your head, for instance, yet still manage to compose your photo accurately as you point your camera slightly downwards to capture a scene that you can't yourself see directly because you are stuck in a crowd, but which you can see on your twiddly screen.
To be fair to Canon, after an initial period of head-in-the-sand stupidity, they have for quite a while now lead the way with adding flip out screens to DSLRs, and all the other big manufacturers have followed along. There are still plenty of cameras available without flip out screens, for idiot Not-As-Real-As-They-Thing Photographers who take positive pride in not liking these screens, and maybe for some truly Real Photographers who truly do not need them.
As the report goes on to acknowledge, filing a patent and actually making and selling the thing patented are two different things. But Canon's new and much bigger variation on the flip out screen theme suggests that the huge added value of these screens is now widely understood by camera makers.
A couple of days ago, I photoed words, and I photoed the top of the Boomerang (although I would recommend scrolling down rather than following these links (a lot quicker (alas))). But in among photoing all that, I also I photoed this ambiguous beast. Ambiguous because originally, the beast looked a lot like this:
But then someone else, by adding some alternative eyes, turned the beast into this:
The original photo I took, from which both the above versions were cropped, looked like this:
You see, that's the trouble with the Leake Street Tunnel. Nobody owns it, other than a sort of conglomerate of politicians, and what that conglomerate has decided is that whereas all artists may paint in the Leake Street Tunnel, none of them can prevent further painting by further artists. The only immortality achieved is virtual and digital.
Or, maybe it's a bit more complicated. And if you aren't part of the club, and you just turn up and paint, you get your knees broken, or something.
Whatever. The thing I really admire about the beast, as originally painted by Artist One, is the state of its teeth. Check them out. Thought has gone into them. No wonder Artist Two was envious, and decided to appropriate them for his alternative beast.
I'm still photoing photoers, basically because the photos of photoers I took about a decade ago get more interesting by the year, and so, I'm betting, will photos like these, which I took in Trafalgar Square, last October:
The difference from ten years ago is that I avoid photoing faces far more than I tried to then. That means, as explained in this earlier posting, that I find myself photoing a lot of hair, as above. Although, 3.3 is the hair on a lady's sleeve, and the guy in 2.3 has no hair. But, he has a hair style.
But I'm not a hair fetishist. I'm just a not-face photoer, when I'm photoing strangers who are themselves photoing.
There was a posting at Mick Hartley's yesterday which showed that concern about photoing the faces of strangers and thereby in some way stealing from them is not new. Hartley reproduces a great pile of photos, photos like this:
Scroll down to the bottom of Hartley's posting, and you will encounter quotes from the man, Richard Sandler, who took all these ancient black-and-white photos, of strangers. Go to where Hartley got these pictures and the quote, and you'll get one of the questions, as well as the answer.
Have you had anyone ever question your motives in the street? Did you ever piss off anybody?
Occasionally people get angry and they have a right to, I am stealing a little something from them. Also for many years I used the strobe on the street and so there was no hiding what I was doing ... it can be startling. I have been kicked, spit on, and chased, but not very often. Once a woman with a rabbit pursued me for 30 minutes because I had flashed her and her pet.
Hartley also quotes Sandler saying this:
I think those were more interesting times because the warts of corporate/capitalist society were more visible then they are today, and those contradictions could be photographed more directly than now ... also every third person was not virtual, being on the fucking phone and not really on the street ....
Two things about that. One, there is something rather exploitative about these photos, as he goes on to admit, sort of like an old school colonist photoing the natives. Second, why the hell are "fucking" phones not themselves fit objects for his photoing? Not really on the street? Come on.
They are certainly fit objects for my photoing.
Could it be that Sandler is suffering from a dose of professional jealousy? Suddenly, the damn natives can photo the warts of corporate/capitalist society for themselves. And nowadays, they don't even have to use a dedicated camera.
And as for flash, well, the latest cameras hardly need them. They can pretty much see in the dark.
Leake Street, October 19th. Probably still there, as of right now, but quite possibly already painted over.
I do not know why the cat is saying: "4". Some sort of golfing reference?
I've spent all my blogging time today trying to write a couple of things for Samizdata, so once again it's quota photo time, this time in the form of a photo of Tom Cruise that I photoed recently, just a few minutes before I took this footbridge photo. To be more exact, it is a photo of a photo, of Tom Cruise:
That photo that you see in my photo is to be seen outside the Duchess Theatre in the West End, where the play being shown Goes Wrong, every night, without, although this may not be quite the way to describe things, fail.
I assume that you can only exhibit a picture of Tom Cruise like that if Tom Cruise gives his permission. If that's right, Tom Cruise proves himself to be a good sport. Or, perhaps, a greedy bastard. But for now, I'm going with good sport, if only because if he got greedy, they couldn't afford it.
Well, the New Year (even though the New Year is actually getting quite old now) Resolution here, to blog early, and sometimes even to blog often, is working well. I haven't delayed going to bed because of this blog for about a week, and I sense that this may even continue.
Friday is my day for cats, and now also for other creatures, and already this Friday, even though it not yet even the middle of the day, there has already been a posting here about dogs. Republican dogs. That posting is right below this one, but there's the link anyway.
And here now is another creature posting, about a truly unique other creature - half cat, yes, but also half dog, half bee, half zebra, and wholly suitcase - of the sort that kids can ride, at airports, to stop them getting bored:
Apparently Trunki made the first of these, and then some Hong Kong guys did a cheaper knock-off, and Trunki complained. Trunki lost.
These cases - the physical (suit)case and the legal case - illustrate the fine line that divides a design from an idea:
But five Supreme Court justices unanimously disagreed, and ruled in favour of PMS on Wednesday – stating that while it had "sympathy for Magmatic", the "Design Right is intended to protect designs not ideas".
It looks a lot like a design being copied to me. Not that I mind. And actually, I think the Hong Kong version is better, because the original can't make up its mind whether its eyes are eyes or horns. HK case resolves this by having eyes and horns.
PMS website: here.
Anyone trying to fly a UAV over the outdoor sets where the next installment of the Star Wars saga is being filmed in Croatia might be met by drones owned by the production company.
I knew there were such things, but it's good to actually read about them.
The fun really starts when drones on spy missions like this are also armed, so they can fight off the drones that attack them.
Drone v drone fighting is going to be a spectacular sport, just as soon as it starts getting organised.
When me and the Transport Blog gang visited the Farnborough Air Show, way back when we did, it was good, but it felt rather antiquated. Drone v drone contests – real contests – would liven that up no end.
What follows is one of the better commentaries on British politics that I have recently read. It is pertinent to the current dramas involving Jeremy Corbyn and what appears now to be his likely victory in the Labour Party leadership election, because it focusses on something which I think has been somewhat neglected by other commentators, namely the weakness of Corbyn's opponents. It is by former Conservative Party Leader William Hague.
It is to be found at the Telegraph website. I was alerted to it by Guido's invaluable "seen elsewhere" section.
But since the Telegraph only allows me to see thirty (I think it is) articles each month before it blocks me (for about half the month), and since I never blog about things that my readers can't read just by clicking on a link, which means that I am actually not interested in things that readers can't read just by clicking on a link, here is the piece, here, in full. Now I am able to be interested in what follows, because here it is.
The original article contains links to other Telegraph pieces. These I have reproduced. But I have not checked if they work, because I don't want to exhaust half my allotted Telegraph links with the month hardly having started.
If the Telegraph asks me to remove it from here, I will immediately remove it, and will instead replace what follows with smaller quotes and further commentary. And then I will lose all interest in it, except perhaps as an interesting little event concerning the rights and wrongs of intellectual property.
In late 1997, having rather rashly taken on the job of Leader of Her Majesty's Opposition, I discussed with the new prime minister, Tony Blair, which of us had the most difficult job. "You have," he said, without a moment's doubt.
Blair was right. And that job was doubly more difficult because it was one pitched every day against him, the most formidable electoral opponent the Conservative Party has faced in its entire history. Before him, Labour had only twice since its foundation won a decisive majority; with him it did so three times in a row.
Although he is despised in Labour's current leadership election, Blair was a Tory leader's worst nightmare: appealing to the swing voter and reassuring to the Right-leaning, it was hard to find a square on the political chessboard on which he did not already sit. When people told me I did well at Prime Minister's Questions, I knew I had to, since I had very little else going for me at all – I had to raise the morale of Conservatives each Wednesday to get them through the frustration and impotence of every other day of the week.
Blair courted business leaders and Right-wing newspapers, often to great effect. He was a Labour leader who loved being thought to be a secret Tory, a pro-European who was fanatical in support for the United States, a big spender who kept income taxes down, an Anglican who let it be known he wanted to be a Catholic and regularly read the Koran. He could be tough or soft or determined or flexible as necessary and shed tears if needed, seemingly at will. To the political law that you can't fool all of the people all of the time he added Blair's law – that you can make a very serious attempt at it.
This was the human election-winning machine against which some of us dashed ourselves, making the Charge of the Light Brigade look like a promising manoeuvre by comparison. Yet now, only eight years after he left the scene he dominated, his party's election is conducted with scorn for the most successful leader they ever had.
The first reason for this is the truly extraordinary rule allowing huge numbers of people to join up for the specific purpose of selecting the new leader. If there was an NVQ Level 1 in How To Run a Party, the crucial nature of the qualifying period to vote in a leadership election would be on the syllabus, possibly on the first page. Every student plotting to take over a university society knows that the shorter that period, the easier it is to mount an insurgency from outside. But this basic fact seems to have escaped Ed Miliband, along with every other possible consideration of what might happen after his own unnecessarily rapid departure.
The result of this is that Labour's leader is being chosen by a largely new electorate, with correspondingly little sense of ownership of the party's history, in which the desire to align the party with their own views outweighs any sense of duty to provide the country with an alternative government.
The second reason is the weakness of the mainstream candidates to an extent unprecedented in any election in a major party in British parliamentary history. Even in 1935, an even darker time for the Labour Party when it had far fewer MPs than today, the leadership election was between Clement Attlee and Herbert Morrison: great names that are etched into our history. This is the first election of a Labour leader in which none of the candidates look like they could be prime minister five years later.
This weakness partly explains the third and most significant factor in what appears to be, in the form of Corbynmania, a sharp move to the pre-Blair, old-fashioned, Michael Foot-was-a-moderate, Seventies Left, which is that none of them has been able to articulate what a social democratic, centre-Left party should stand for in the first half of the 21st century.
Blair's ability to win elections was not accompanied by a coherent philosophy. The seminars he held with Schroeder's German SPD and Clinton Democrats on the "Third Way", the ultimate attempt at government by triangulation, collapsed in ridicule. And the question neither Labour's candidates nor their socialist colleagues abroad can now answer is – in a century in which markets dominate, more power passes to consumers, technology gives more choice by the day to individuals, working lives are more flexible than ever, and class-based voting is dying out, what is the role and purpose of the moderate Left?
You can scan in vain the speeches of Yvette Cooper, Liz Kendall and Andy Burnham for a clear answer to this question, although I do not necessarily recommend it unless you find it hard to sleep. You might think there is a modern social democratic case to be made that some people – the less educated, unskilled, and immobile – could miss out on the benefits of the information revolution and that changing that is a new purpose of the centre-Left. Instead, in Britain and across Europe, it is left to fringe parties to prey on those dissatisfied with the vast and rapid changes in modern society.
And most revealing of all, those same speeches (yes, I really have read them), point to no model abroad of the Left in power, no hero to be admired or policy to be emulated. The main parties of the Left have turned into partners of conservatives in Germany, reformist liberals in Italy, back-pedalling socialists in France, catastrophes in Latin America, and been annihilated by extremists in Greece. There is still a Socialist International, but there is no longer a common ideology to underpin it.
Seen in this context, the agony of Labour's leadership election is easier to understand. This is a tribe lost in a desert with no star to follow, and no inspirational leader to point to a new one. Across the world, parties that thrived on the socialist ideals of an industrialising society are losing their relevance, and what we are witnessing is a symptom and dramatic demonstration of that fact.
Faced with that awful reality, Labour is turning to something, anything, that seems authentic, passionate, and consistent. The failure, in Britain and abroad, to find the social democratic version of that is a failure of historic proportions.
Here are two people whom Mick Hartley recently encountered. He photoed them and stuck the picture up on his blog. And I reproduce it here:
So, how come this flurry of privacy violation? Hartley explains. (There are several very heavy hints in the categories listed below.)
Somewhere between posting a photo of totally recognisable strangers that you took without their permission in 1930 and posting a photo of totally recognisable strangers that you took without their permission yesterday afternoon, there is a line. I took this photo ...
… in 2007. Did I cross that line? Perhaps. But they just look so great, and so happy. When it comes to totally recognisable strangers who look bad in the photo I took of them without their permission, I think I'd give it another decade or two.
I love all the white space behind and around them. It makes them look, in combination with the signpost, like a piece of sculpture. That spot often does that. Which is why it is one of my favourite photographic spots in London, up the steps that are attached to Westminster Bridge on the north side, looking up over the road towards the Houses of Parliament.
When it's finished, it will look, according to the picture on the outside of the site (which is an outdoor hard copy of the first picture here), like this:
Here is what it and its surroundings will look like from above. My home can be found in that picture, this Thing being only a short walk away from it.
But, as of now, in contrast to the above simulations, it looks like this, which I think I somewhat prefer (what with all that lovely scaffolding):
Hang on. Is that a Christmas tree I see up there (in among all that lovely scaffolding)? Yes it is:
After I started taking photos of this Thing Under Construction, together with its Christmas tree, one of the men doing the constructing made "stop doing that" gestures. I was standing on a public pavement. They were building a small skyscraper with a Christmas tree on the side of it. Did they think they could keep this secret, and impose martial law for a quarter of a mile around all this? I just laughed out loud and carried on, and of course they did nothing about it.
Can you spot why "Sculpture" is included in the category list below?

Gender Gap Narrows on the Internet / Survey finds ratio of men to women less than 2 to 1
The gender balance on the Internet, long believed to be nine men for every woman, has narrowed to slightly less than 2 to 1, a research firm said yesterday in San Francisco.
While the survey conducted in December did not include commercial online services like Prodigy that only recently started providing Internet access, it provides a general indication that women have become more comfortable with electronic communication.
The survey by Matrix Information & Directory Services found the ratio of men to women with Internet accounts was 64 percent to 36 percent.
Until now, many people have judged the Internet as a boy's club.

"Whenever you have a fairly homogeneous population, in this case gender, the content naturally will be geared towards the predominant groups -- that isn't rocket science, it's just common sense," said Nancy Rhine of Women's Wire, a San Francisco online system geared toward female users.
For businesses wishing to use the Net to market products, the survey's results are likely to provide encouragement that there is a more diverse audience in cyberspace than previously believed.
"Decision-makers who base their Internet marketing programs on reliable facts rather than on myths like a 9-to-1 gender gap will be successful while others will fail," said Smoot Carl-Mitchell, president of Matrix Information & Directory Services, based in Austin, Texas.
The figures, part of a yearly Internet survey conducted by MIDS, have a 3 percent margin of error, he said. Survey results were based on responses from 1,463 organizations representing over 10 percent of the 13.5 million Internet users.
When the company just looked at the Internet accounts at universities and schools, gender parity was even closer -- 59 percent men to 41 percent women.
"But even when we left out the educational institutions, the figures were still 70 percent men to 30 percent women. Which means indeed that there are more men than women on the Internet, but it doesn't mean anything near the 9- to-1 (ratio) we keep hearing," said John Quarterman, a demographer at MIDS.
The higher-than-expected number of women makes sense, he said, because a large portion of Internet usage remains in academic settings.
"If you think of your average academic institution, the students tend to be relatively balanced in terms of gender," Quarterman said.
