How to Remove Eternabond tape (without chemicals)
Caravans leak. It is a fact of life. Having been quoted 1500 to fix said leaks on my 1980’s Viscount caravan, I decided to take matters into my own hands. As I had little DIY experience, re-siliconing the roof seemed a bit beyond me, so hopping on to YouTube for some advice I found videos recommending Eternabond tape. It looked easy enough…and it was, on the flat surface of the roof top. As soon as it came to bending the tape over the sides, accounting for all those rims and corrugations made it difficult to keep out those pesky air bubbles. Hence the moisture found its way in, and the tape had to be removed.

A Plain Wooden Shrine
When Abe took office, tourism to Japan found a place of prominence on the agenda, governmental interests seeking to open up Japan as it was ‘opened’ up in the time of the Meiji Restoration. In the tradition of such writers as Louis Theroux, the ‘real traveller’ would lament increased tourist traffic for economic gain. As if crossing paths so easily with another foreigner would somehow taint the purity of the place — the authenticity diluted by commerce and by all those who had looked upon it before. An unchangeable permanence, as Frow puts it, the nostalgia of semiotics, signs of culture outside of ourselves. Things that seem simple and pure, only because we don’t understand them—the grandeur of age, immortality, things that last lifetimes, things untouched by the ugly worlds of corruption and the vapid, hollowness of disposable consumer goods.

The Matrix Resurrections
With today’s continual advancements in technology, including Mark Zuckerberg’s recent announcement of the ‘metaverse’, now seems an appropriate time to delve back into the exploration and questioning of simulated reality—both the possibilities and the philosophical dilemmas. And there’s no exploration of this topic more widely known or accessible as The Matrix.

Abandoned Places
“It’s a shame it didn’t work out.” A sheen of concern. A performative look of disappointment. No one wanted to acknowledge the truth of what had happened, because the truth was inconvenient—a pebble in your shoe you would rather ignore than fumble to fish out.
