A strange encounter
As I was driving to work this morning I had a strange encounter. It was dark, I had stopped at the 5th set of traffic lights about half a mile from home. Out the corner of my eye, on the far bottom corner of the windscreen was a mouse. it disappeared towards the bonnet then reappeared in the same spot. Next it walked across the bottom of the screen and then walked up and onto the roof! At that point the lights changed, I wasn’t quick thinking enough to hit the hazards and think of stopping, so I moved off. I hope that somehow the wee guy slid to safety.
A walk in the Glen Luss hills today, notes, map and photos: walkmap
Bass Rock

Went on a trip to Bass Rock with Dorothy & my New Camera, Cannon SX540, the swell made taking photos hit or miss. A beautiful day, spectacular island & gannets are wonderful birds.

Listened: Open Source and Power with Matt Mullenweg
This was a fascinating podcast. Matt Mullenweg had spoken of an ambition to get WordPress to 80% of the web. Heinemeier Hansson took him to task on twitter and they ended up in a podcast.
An example of civil discussion and disagreement on the internet. Moving off twitter to a better medium.
Although they did not resolve the central concern they touched on many points around control and ownership on the web.
It gave me a little insight into the scale of the web. Left me feeling pretty naive.
A few mentions of capitalism had me wondering what a socialist web would look like?

Second time walking in Glen Douglas hills this week. What a contrast with Monday. Saw a healthy looking hill fox running across. Deer loomed in the murk and stags roaring.
