#remembrance morning folks. Have a wee listen to Eric Bogle’s ‘No man’s land’ and
also his song ‘ The band played Waltzing Matilda’ for two great writings on the horrors of war. Great songwriting. Wilfred Owen and Siegfried Sassoon also wrote brilliant poetry about WW1.
My dear friend @billgross has arrived on Mastodon. Bill has founded more than 100 companies at Idealab; he is a pioneer of the net, the web, and social media. Now he's concentrating on saving the planet by saving energy but I'm also trying to get him embroiled in Mastodon. So give him a follow or a toot!
