Another great Tiny Desk Concert, this time from the great Alicia Keys.

They've been cranking out a lot of home concerts during lockdown and re-uploading from their archive, but this was filmed just before COVID-19 sent us all in to lockdown.

Falling is a song that came out when I was still in education, I got goosebumps hearing it again after such a long time.

Missed the deadline unfortunately, but these would have been a great set of puzzles to own.

We binged through both season of the UK's version of Lego Masters and since then I've been on the lookout for some Technic pieces so we can build more interesting things at home. Without buying a ready made set or splashing out on small collections it's a pain to find what we wanted... and then I came across this book by Klutz that has instructions for stuff you can build and it comes with all the pieces you need.

I highly recommend it if you want to get started with more complicated Lego builds.

Update

Turns out I'd actually linked to this before, during week 140.

Price: £10.60

This video provided a lot of laughs for us last night. My personal recollection of of the song is:

Jingle bells, Batman smells,
Robin laid an egg,
The Batmobile lost a wheel,
And the Joker got away... hey!

I even owned a t-shirt that was based on this version of the song.

I'll come back to the details of the keynote next week, but the iPhone is getting a really nice update later this year, but so is every other device in the lineup. In fact, I don't think there was a device or Apple app that won't have a software update this year.
