Tesseract

If you’ve found your way here by accident, well done, because this page isn’t linked from anywhere else on the website! This is a playground, if you like. A list of various blocks and grouped blocks created for and with the WordPress Gutenberg editor.

It may not be problem-free. (That’s what a technical playground is for.)

The Tesseract, also called the Cube, was a crystalline cube-shaped containment vessel for the Space Stone, one of the six Infinity Stones that predate the universe and possess unlimited energy. It was used by various ancient civilizations before coming into Asgardian hands, kept inside Odin’s Vault. Eventually, it was brought to Earth and left in Tønsberg, where it was guarded by devout Asgardian worshipers.

    Driving to the coast

    This music video by Bayview Sounds for their song “Home Alone” is very evocative of my trips to the eastern Scottish coast, with sea haar and low sun whilst driving along narrow roads. (The video was actually filmed in the far northern Scottish county of Caithness, which feels like the end of the world.)

  • Random things in March

    This month’s set of photos is especially random, but that’s the whole point; not just of the ongoing photo series here on my website, but also in my life. The more varied and random, the better for me.
