A little pen-portrait I wrote for TMN: The Window Cleaner

John Siracusa rants about Minecraft mods. Every word he says is true. The
Minecraft community is a terrible, awful mess, and Mojang really need to
take charge and do something about it.

"Muniment" means "document or record, especially one kept in an archive".
Some places have someone in charge of the muniments, a role often known as
"keeper of the muniments". Westminster Abbey has one such keeper.

Here's a book about the Abbey's muniments.

... great word, muniments. Muniments. Muuuuuuuuuniments.

Photos of Vince Clarke's studio, where the walls are made of synths

... and look, here's a bunch of videos in which Vince takes you through his
synth collection. Just watch the first one, it's great. He gives you a
guided tour of a 1982-vintage Pro One, then a quick demo of what it can do.
Lovely.

The first vid works fine but I had trouble getting the others to play in
Chrome - your milage may vary etc. Some of them are on YouTube if you go
hunting there. Here's one about the ARP 2600, the machine that links R2-D2
and Alison Moyet. Oh yes it does.
