The Met Line Journal

The life and times of a small man called Min, his daily journey's from Rayners Lane to Farringdon.

This blog is an insight into the wonderful world of the Met Line, packed into chunky bites of random thoughts, the weird and the wonderful sites I see on my journey to and from work, and the odd comedy gag...

Read it and weep (with laughter)...

Got anything new to report? - Min's MinIT Update. Wednesday 9th July 2014

Well hello hello! How are we all? 

Left work a bit later today, as been rather busy (more about that in a bit), but the good news is that I've got a seat! Yippee!

So, how crazy was the match last night! I saw there was a chap who had put £5 on Germany to win 5-0 and Muller to score first, at 800/1.  He must have got rather excited at half time.

Lots of funny stuff following the match on social media today, checkout

The man opposite has fallen asleep and also has his hands in a kind of prayer  position. Wonder if he's from Argentina...



Advert of the week: Football is our lobster. It has pictures of Ronaldo, Michael Owen and two other chaps who must be famous. Err that's it. Oh in small writing it says 'the sports social network'

What the hell has that got to do with lobster? Apart from a lobster could probably commentate better than Michael Owen... Think I'll stick to Facebook thanks mate.



So, the reason why I'm late today i hear you ask? We have only received a delivery of Google Glass! No mum you can't call it Google Glasses as that's not what the kool kids call it...

Where do I start, apart from...I have seen the future!  The glasses (damn)....the glass takes a few minutes to get used to but after that it's just like second nature. A bit like you never forget to ride a bike or drive a manual, even if you've driven an automatic for years. Mrs Min still drives a manual like an automatic even today and always responds back 'But I like First gear when I'm on the M1...'

Where was I..oh yeah, so once you have stuck them on your face (I needed to put them on top of my glasses, so feel I look even more super cool) and then adjust the prism screen so it's in the top left corner. There is an app called MyGlass (remember all one word, otherwise you
may get another app call Kiss My Glass, which is really not going to help unless your looking for transparent put downs...'

The app pairs with your phone, using bluetooth, then either wifi or personal hotspot, giving you a quick tutorial regarding the various swipes and taps you can do. It's dead easy. Once set, your ready to go and you can say 'ok glass' then whatever you want to do. It let's you read your emails, (if your super lazy, it will even read them out!), see your pics or take pics just by blinking or 'take picture' command, though thought best not try this right now whilst on the tube as it could be my very last blog ever!!



Oh 'one more thing'..it uses some fancy skull bone technology so you can hear commands, your music etc straight through your head rather than old fashioned head phones. It's all simply amazing even though it's rather expensive at £1000. Min marks out of 10..9.854

Joke of the week: Look on the bright side Brazil...you haven't got far to go home...

Ok google, that's your lot. Come on Netherlands and Brazil, you have a great sleep!
