My blog about all things in life. Like life with my husband and freak of a cat, Penelope a.k.a Psycho. My knitting, my crocheting, and my occasional, and usually unsuccessful jaunt into spinning! I am obsessed with British television. Mainly Torchwood, Sherlock, Doctor Who, and Luther.Tumblr (3.0; @kimbuckland)http://blog.kimbuckland.me/<img src="http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzvctxYtLY1qb6t6wo1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>Are these actually as amazing as everybody keeps telling me?</p>http://blog.kimbuckland.me/post/18157120920http://blog.kimbuckland.me/post/18157120920Thu, 23 Feb 2012 19:19:38 -0500<img src="http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzt84bvqXj1qel7qro1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://10pointstojessie.tumblr.com/post/18082457944/via-worsted-for-wear-secrets">10pointstojessie</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>(via <a href="http://worstedforwear.com/?p=116">Worsted For Wear - Secrets</a>)</p> </blockquote>http://blog.kimbuckland.me/post/18091989936http://blog.kimbuckland.me/post/18091989936Wed, 22 Feb 2012 17:31:32 -0500<img src="http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzqb0qYz5W1qjqx6to1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://doctorwho.tumblr.com/post/18033173393/time-lord-mary-poppins-in-google-maps-in" class="tumblr_blog">doctorwho</a>:</p> <blockquote><h2><strong>Time Lord “Mary Poppins” in Google Maps in Cardiff(!?!)</strong></h2> <p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://fireflyastoria.tumblr.com/post/17998229084/so-i-was-fiddling-between-google-and-mapcrunch-and">fireflyastoria</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>So I was fiddling between Google and MapCrunch and do you know what I found?</p> <p>Do you know who that is?

He played six Bach pieces for about 45 minutes. During that time, since it was rush hour, it was calculated that 1,100 people went through the station, most of them on their way to work.<br/><br/><span>Three minutes went by, and a middle aged man noticed</span><span class="text_exposed_show"> there was musician playing. He slowed his pace, and stopped for a few seconds, and then hurried up to meet his schedule.<br/><br/>A minute later, the violinist received his first dollar tip: a woman threw the money in the till and without stopping, and continued to walk.<br/><br/>A few minutes later, someone leaned against the wall to listen to him, but the man looked at his watch and started to walk again. Clearly he was late for work.<br/><br/>The one who paid the most attention was a 3 year old boy. His mother tagged him along, hurried, but the kid stopped to look at the violinist. Finally, the mother pushed hard, and the child continued to walk, turning his head all the time. This action was repeated by several other children. All the parents, without exception, forced them to move on.<br/><br/>In the 45 minutes the musician played, only 6 people stopped and stayed for a while. About 20 gave him money, but continued to walk their normal pace. He collected $32. When he finished playing and silence took over, no one noticed it. No one applauded, nor was there any recognition.<br/><br/>No one knew this, but the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the most talented musicians in the world. He had just played one of the most intricate pieces ever written, on a violin worth $3.5 million dollars.<br/><br/>Two days before his playing in the subway, Joshua Bell sold out at a theater in Boston where the seats averaged $100.<br/><br/>This is a real story. Joshua Bell playing incognito in the metro station was organized by the Washington Post as part of a social experiment about perception, taste, and priorities of people. The outlines were: in a commonplace environment at an inappropriate hour: Do we perceive beauty? Do we stop to appreciate it? Do we recognize the talent in an unexpected context?<br/><br/>One of the possible conclusions from this experience could be:<br/><br/>If we do not have a moment to stop and listen to one of the best musicians in the world playing the best music ever written, how many other things are we missing?</span></p> </blockquote> <p>wow</p>http://blog.kimbuckland.me/post/17782205076http://blog.kimbuckland.me/post/17782205076Fri, 17 Feb 2012 16:22:55 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzbajfzNUs1ql3jtzo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://www.foto-jennic.com/post/17719801724/stairs-of-the-helsinki-cathedral-filled-with">foto-jennic</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><span><strong>Stairs of the Helsinki Cathedral filled with crocheted patchwork quilts of the world.</strong><br/><br/>—-<br/><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/blaahhi/6214715199/in/faves-docjen/">Source </a></span></p> </blockquote> Amazing.http://blog.kimbuckland.me/post/17778827756http://blog.kimbuckland.me/post/17778827756Fri, 17 Feb 2012 15:17:36 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lo89pxI0is1qdn7m6o1_500.png"/><br/><br/><blockquote> <p><em>Age of the geek baby.
