Fake animals, lies and Boring

squirmeliaI milked a fake cow at a farm in Vauxhall on Saturday. Later that day, in Kingston-upon-Thames, a robotic arachnid beast scuttered towards me, under my control.
I watched a film that night, about a world where people could not lie.
Sunday, I went to Boring 2012, and listened to talks on self-service check-outs, the shipping forecast, shop fronts, ASMR (Auto Sensory Meridian Response) videos, IBM tills, and a variety of other "boring" things, which perhaps are not really very boring. I might photograph the inside of my fridge (with the door closed), and now I imagine double yellow lines made of instruments and turning green. (Diamond Geezer's Notes from Boring 2012 give a more comprehensive list of talks.)
