Yet another view into what I found and liked this week.

  • I’ve been a fan of singer-songwriter John Wesley Harding (nee Wesley Stace) for a few decades (he played at my 40th birthday party!). He did a remake of his own song (Scared of Guns) for an Appleseed compilation – which you can hear here.

  • I don’t often promote test conferences, but I know the folks behind the European Testing Conference, and it’s definitely one worth checking out.
