<p>This year has been one of huge change for me. </p><p>Some of it good, some not so good. A lot of it involved relationships: some ending, some beginning, some being renewed, some being made stronger.

Sometimes they were called fairy rings, other times they were mystic portals. Very few were more than hearsay: someone knew someone who had been told about another person who knew something. Stories and folklore evolved, variously connecting them with Arthur, or Sigurd, or Ivan Tsarevitch. Yet occasionally a piece of the story would stand out to Edward, which made him think that amongst the chaff of legend, was a grain of truth. <br /><br />In 1573 Edward was granted access to the Duke of Bavaria's personal library. In addition to copies of Sebald Schreyer's Schedelsche Weltchronik (later known as the Nuremberg Chronical), it also included rare manuscripts recording supernatural phenomena and stories. To most of these Edward paid only cursory attention, but his interest was held by a manuscript that referred to the Portal of the Ages. For some time he had suspected that earlier references he had found to "Engelstor" might be the same thing. Different people describe things in different ways, especially when they see it as something supernatural.<br /><br />Briefly sipping his beer, Edward took a fresh quill and began copying the relevant sections from the book. Several disparate accounts shared an uncanny similarity of their experience leading him to believe they were discussing the same thing. And yet the accounts were wildly different as well. They all started the same but destinations all differed. It would seem there was a common entry point but the exit was dependant on other factors.<br /><br />This was going to take further research. Edward assumed that the Portal wasn't going to be out in the open or if it was it only appeared at specific times. Either way it looked like a trip to England was on the cards. He felt he had been away for long enough that no-one alive should be able to recognise him. It would be interesting to visit again. After all they had a Queen now as their ruler. Edward smiled to himself as he reflected on the vast changes he had seen the world undergo. Time to explore it some more!</p><p></p><p></p><p><br /><u>Who's what</u><br />Doublet: (Stitched) Qalen Doublet<br />Pants: (Stitched) Rafford Pants<br />Ruff: Grasshopper St - GHS Neck Ruff<br />Collar: [REQUISITION] Chamberlain's Livery Collar<br />Hat: Grasshopper St - GHS Scholar Cap - brim down<br /><br />Desk by [noctis] with sundry props from various collections.<br />Backdrop: Garden of Dreams - The Library<br /><br /></p>Edward Pearsehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16064707444626044745noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4396976584409475726.post-47962086087362656812023-05-01T23:30:00.002+10:002023-05-01T23:30:35.132+10:00Is this still on?<p>*Blows dust off the surface*</p><p>*dissolves into a coughing fit belatedly realising just how bad that idea was*</p><p>Hullo!</p><p>Yes I'm still here!</p><p>Well, mostly. </p><p>I'm still in Babbage.

November will be my 111th Breakfast in Babbage broadcast!<br />
<br />
In honour of turning “eleventyone” I have decided to make this month’s theme a Tolkien inspired one.<br />
<br />
Music from the various film and radio adaptations, as well as music
inspired by Tolkien’s works, from Led Zeppelins and Blind Guardian to
John Sangster and the Tolkien Ensemble, there will be music for all.
Some of it you may never have heard before.<br />
<br />
Join us Saturday afternoon for 2 hours of Tolkien inspired tunes at The Clarendon, New Babbage.<br />

I love soundtracks. However the 80s had a huge number of songs
that became hits in their own right. Huey Lewis wrote Power of Love for
Back to the Future but it charted well on it's own. Kenny Loggins wrote
both Footloose and Danger Zone. Irene Cara also had two major hits. And
Ray Parker made the phrase Who ya Gonna Call unusable even to this day.<br /><br />Join Edward Pearse as we trip down memory lane looking at movie music of the 80s.<br /><br /><a data-lynx-mode="hover" data-lynx-uri="https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fmaps.secondlife.com%2Fsecondlife%2FNew%2520Babbage%2F201%2F51%2F103&h=AT3OjnuFDOVMPkX8qI7j6MF9niMfW2dZMncr158EfJ6rguRMHo_kogwrQbxQa-mjTMEEgXIIHEoVvQAj-2FqHeUG0V2a5vRBCMwoIaLshtj3TGYKyLGmbWOP_nwVzKqHOoCKVWFw6_-E8G_8MaM" href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/New%20Babbage/201/51/103" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/New%20Babbage/201/51/103</a>Edward Pearsehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16064707444626044745noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4396976584409475726.post-39113892756937767532018-07-13T23:08:00.001+10:002018-07-14T10:36:57.501+10:00Breakfast in Babbage: Under the Sea<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The Geek Shall Inherit the Earth! From a much mocked social group to
the rise of geek culture, nerds have come a long way. And most of us in
Babbage would probably fit the definition. Whether you're obsessed by
comics books, the latest incarnation of Star Trek/Wars, or working your
way through a multi-tomed epic fantasy, or whether you think doing maths
for fun is a thing you're a nerd.<br />
<br />
Thankfully being a geek or a nerd has become a lot more acceptable
with the incorporation of computers into every aspect of our lives and
geek media has become Big Business.<br />
<br />
Join Edward Pearse for a look at the Music of Nerds. 2 hours of songs by, and about, the fans and their obsessions.<br />
