Fractals Pt 711

You know what that is?

That, my friends, is a snowflake. At the bottom of this post, you’ll see another snowflake, under increasing magnification.

In the middle, is a photo of a hurricane, over the South Pole of Saturn.

As my friend Mika Jeremy would say, “so beautiful!”

When, on ‘We Are Not Alone’, I say, “Every little girl has got the galaxy inside her,” I mean it literally, as well as figuratively.

Oh, and this email just came in:

Season’s greetings Mr the Don,

Just a short note to let you know Oh What a Glorious Thing finished 7th on the Pure Song of the Year poll, thanks largely to the milions and millions of Akira the Don fans who voted on the web site. The Fratellis, Muse and Arctic Monekys were all left in your illustrious shadow.

You can listen to the programme [and see the full list] here. There is a little LISTEN AGAIN box in the top left corner, click on that, click on Pure and you’re away.

I gave All I Want for Christmas a spin last week, then heard it on Huw Stevens show on Wednesday night/Thursday morning. Sounded excellent alongisde Tall Pony and the Bobby McGees.

Merry Christmas and as us Scots say “Lang may yer lums reek” in the New Year.

David

Cheers to you all! Let us hope there is not a number two next!

    water is truly one of the most amazing things in this world. have you ever heard of Dr. Masaru Emoto? he's this japanese scientist who studied the effects of human emotions on frozen water crystals. he had a bunch of people talk to glasses of water, think at glasses of water, he played music to water, and wrote words on tape that he stuck to glasses of water. after a while, he froze drops of each container of water and took pictures of the crystals at high magnification. he wrote a book about his findings called "the true power of water" it was really interesting.

    Now there's something truly amazing, what a guy!

    Water's got to be special right, being one of the few things we can take into our bodies with no harmful effects (if it's clean).

    I love snowflakes, although they scare me a little, so fragile and temporary and yet so strong.

    Nadolig Llawen! X

    Those pictures are crazy, they actually look like mechanical components, like the machine of the universe has lost a few cogs
