A day of listening to presentations about lots of aspects of platforms generates a sense of how ridiculous we have all become. To be clear; not the research. The research is excellent. Our platformised world.

Mission completed. I had to listen to a mix tape made by an old flatmate in 1993 so I could recreate the playlist for her 50th. Without mashing the tape!!
