This post is a little off topic.... but is related to technology, our world of technology and its bleak, serious and relevant to this time of year, in our cycle of peak consumption?
I haven't posted an article for some time and I do intend to finish the mini quad guide. But today while sat watching TV I came across this documentary, something of an eye opener, something we all really know but choose to ignore....
So I have decided to embed some clips to help publicize it, as this is what the documentary is trying to do, spread the word....
With so many pressures faced in the world, technological, automation, health, terrorist idealism, they have all been created by us. The money system we choose to live with, the ever need for more jobs , the constant growth that's required for more jobs, more money ..... we're slowly destroying what we enjoy every day, our lives, our planet, our future, our security?.
How do we allow all of us to have a lively hood? for more and more people, pollute less and share our planets resources? we seem to be doing nothing but token gestures??;

A Sunny Weston-super-Windy Air Show..
Finally here are some clips taken from this years air show (2015). Unfortunately my video skills definitely need improving and I think its time to purchase a zoom lens.... Right! the show took place over 2 days and thousands of people were lined up along Weston sea front, with the beach lawns crammed full of stalls and mini displays. This years show was merged with the Armed Forces day and was pretty impressive. Especially the flight from the Sally B B-17 Bomber - which is huge! (See this link for more information) and obviously the retiring Vulcan bomber - which I didn't get a chance to see! :( The weather was sunny and although very windy, sometimes mirroring being in some sort of Sahara sand storm! there was a great turn out of people and planes. I think like me most people had an enjoyable weekend..... Anyway check the videos out and if you have any comments please let me know!!. I've also added other videos I found while browsing Youtube!
This One's My Video!

Its a shame to see it this way!
The videos below are of a local landmark close to where I live. I came across them while searching Youtube. They show how bad the old pier has become. Its a real shame to see this unusual structure fall into such a state of disrepair....
If you want to know more about the only pier in Britain that links the mainland to an island, see the video below created by Weston College, or you can view the local website: http://www.birnbeck-pier.co.uk
