Elizabethan London

Elizabethan London
Tyburn was an infamous execution spot west of London, used since medieval times. The Tyburn "tree" - a unique, multi-person gallows - erected in 1571 became a popular public spectacle, drawing crowds of thousands.Tyburn Tree blog is less blood-thirsty but hopefully topical, interesting and informative, if slightly bent to my personal topics of interest - books, writing, history, technology, with a smattering of politics and dash of pop culture, science and the downright strange. So "take a ride to Tyburn" and see what happens...

Escape to Braavos

If you watched the Game of Thrones finale last week you probably noticed the superlative version of the theme that they closed the season on, complete with choral accompaniment...

Here's a link.  Give it a listen.

When you play the game of thrones...

This is a pretty cool rendition of the Game of Thrones theme, done with voice & violin.  Can't think of why I haven't run into it before, but thought I would post it anyway...


(except Hollens looks a bit too much like that creepy Baelish...don'tcha think?)

Floating on a word cloud...

I ran across a nice word cloud generator online (www.wordle.net)  Being unable to resist tinkering with every strange online tool I run across, by way of experiment I dropped in some song lyrics...

Atlantic City by Bruce Springsteen...


Mix in a bit of Queen...
 






...The Stones...
 ...and lastly some AC/DC.

Pick a song and give it a try.
