Pondering the world wide Web like David Bowie

Hmm I wonder what this button does. Here we see a deeply serious Bowie in Rodins The Thinker pose. Black jumper, tan suit, moustache and little thin beard from 1990s. He's looking at a computer that although relatively small, looks like it weighs a lot. You would not want it dropped on you. Instant death. The screen alone has a casing that could hold one large melon or a dozen tins of soup. If you could pour water in there you might survive in the desert for a week. It's the sort of computer you might be impressed by its VGA display and Soundblaster sound card.

I'm 82% certain the computer Bowie is using is an Apple Macintosh, but I didn't know which model. Yes, it's somewhat heavy.

@TheBreadmonkey if you filled that monitor with water (per your Alt text) there would be a big bang and the water would be undrinkable.

Logging in online like Michael Jagger

Smiling Jags wearing a silk cravat and ski goggles as he searches for hentai porn on the interwebs. I'll be honest I don't know what hentai porn is. I think it's animated? Or is that the one with the robots? Anyway it's just a silly joke. He's probably just searching up how best to appease his lord and master, Satan, who continues to keep him and his buds alive and performing, even though the year they were born Bing Crosby released White Christmas and the Russians triumphed at Stalingrad.

@TheBreadmonkey@beige.party arriving into Friday

Frank Sinatra exiting a helicopter (his one? He had one) beverage in hand – photographed by, I believe, Yul Brynner, himself a friend of Frank’s and also photographer
