The secret life of machines

On with my random googeling.

The Secret Life of Machines is a TV series made for British Channel 4. The series was written and presented by Tim Hunkin. The 18 episodes were developed from a cartoon strip called The Rudiments of Wisdom which Tim Researched and drew for the Observer newspaper for 14 years.

The complete Series is available online on various websites, but I still haven’t seen it, although I already know I will like it. Especially the episode about the washing machine.

Here is the theme song: Val Bennett’s The Russians are coming, a ska version of Brubeck’s Take 5.

this is noah standing near the remains of our old washing machine. it broke when the baby was born and we bought a new one with a digital display and a timer and automatic weight. it actually weighs the laundry and knows how much water to use. unbelievable!

any way, noah helped james disassemble the washing machine so james can take it down the stairs. he enjoyed it so much i didn’t say a word about the time. it was way past his bed time.
