I have some good news on the job front, but I can’t divulge quite yet. Watch this space!

To continue my recent music theme, one of my favourite bands, Boards of Canada, have released their first video to promote the release of Dayvan Cowboy from their recent album, The Campfire Headphase. The first half of the video is real footage of the highest descent ever recorded, Joseph Kittinger’s skydive from the edge of space (102.800 feet) in 1960. BoC Video
With complications on the way down, he was convinced he had not survived the jump and hallucinated falling through hell. The second half of the video is of surfer Laird Hamilton riding giant waves in Hawaii. I think it’s quite an effective video. You can watch it here.
