1 Saturn V

 
I have no idea what 7.5 million pounds of thrust is really all about but it sounds MASSIVE!! This is a really terrific interview (with pictures and videos) with Apollo 15 Astronaut Al Worden, on the 45th anniversary of his epic voyage to the Moon.

There is so much great stuff in the article - it had me constantly shaking my head in disbelief. You really need to read this!

Here's a nifty graft included along the way.

Anyway - go read it!!

2 POTUS playlist

Yet another reason to love President Obama! His summer playlist  and his evening playlist on Spotify!

3 The Golden Gate Bridge

Yet another reason to love San Francisco. More photos here.

4 Mr Grumpy

I'm mos def a glass half full kinda guy. Interesting, though, to consider the view from 

t'other side of things.

5 Your mission, Mr Phelps

Yet more reasons to admire and like Michael Phelps, as if 'dream big' wasn't enough.

Overtime

Weather - a great staple of phatic communion the world over. Use these pictures to kick start that next convo on the petrol station forecourt.

1 Unsplash

I'm always amazed at the stream of amazing images I get in my inbox from Unsplash. Highly recommended!

2 Togetherness
I'm not sure if this show has appeared on Soho yet but I'll look out for it. Seems a little like one of my favourite shows from the eighties - Thirtysomething.

3 Early risers
I'm definitely one! Good to know, via this piece, that the old - early to bed, early to rise scenario is paying off!

4 The Americans

I bought season one on DVD and enjoyed it, went to buy season 2 in NZ and - couldn't! It wasn't released here for some bizarre reason, so I had to grab a copy from HMV in London. Season three is not yet on DVD unfortunately and now Season four is about to hit Soho. I can't miss it! AARRGGHHHH! What to do. what to do?

5 POTUS
Yes I'm an Obama fan but he still so gets Donald Trump!!

Overtime

Charles Dickens didn’t just have a great mind, he had great calves as well.

That opening line hooked me! A great read on a key element of creativity. No, not great calves...solitude. Love it!!

Still dominating my thinking!

A cool Vox video on logos.

2 White House photographer sparkles
Some great images from Pete Souza.

3 Surreal Waves
Some amazing photos features waves in all their majestic and brutal forms.

4 President Obama
As you can tell from number 2, I'm a big fan of POTUS (and FLOTUS). This montage of videos shows more reasons why they are so cool!

5 Star Wars
News of the next load of Star Wars movies - ex-cite-ing!!!

Overtime: Star Wars
Hey I can't get enough right now! This is a cool look at the novelisation of The Force Awakens and what it reveals about the plotlines to come.
