Incidents and accidents

Every now and then I and up reading crash reports in some detail. I am not quite sure what attracts me, ghoulishness or the sobering descriptions of how seemingly trivial things end up ending the lives of hundreds of people. Chekhov’s missing bolt, as it were. An excellent online collection of analyses of aviation accidents is being produced by Admiral Cloudberg. I will never have the time to read them all, but it is good to know they are there.

Finished model 2024-II

Yet another Games Workshop Wood Elf. Painted in Humbrol paints, as only they seem to work with the metal figures. I started with the intention of making it for a Winter theme, but the leaf pattern on the cloak suggested an autumnal design to me. While for this particular model it actually was possible to add a string to the bow without it snagging the rest of the accoutrements, the arrows in the quiver are shorter than the distance between bow grip and string, so the arrow I have added is outsize, but what can you do?

”Journalism”

Det finns en speciell journalistisk genre som går ut på att intervjua en person som är skicklig, eller åtminstone intresserad, inom något journalisten inte behärskar och som denne därför anser förtjänar att förlöjligas. I detta avsnitt av det saligen avsomnade Eldorado har Janne Ferm hittat en kvinnlig civilingenjör. Dubbelbonus!
