WR Watts solo

Posted: 13th October 2019

You may or may not know of Allen Watts (a British philosopher) but if you listen to electronica (or any related music) you've probably heard him speak. I certainly have, a lot. This lovely article, the appropriation of Alan Watts in contemporary electronic music, from Dan Cole explains why. Thanks to @russss for pointing me at it after my complaining about Alan's constant presence in Spotify's recommendations.

Next an interesting bit of history/trivia: Entertaining Training: Usability Guidance Built into Solitaire, FreeCell & Minesweeper by Kurt Kohlstedt. Which is a brief story about why Microsoft added Solitare and Minesweeper to their operating systems.
