HOLT is excited to share the news of Bowie's House: we have announced the landmark acquisition of the family home of David Robert Jones - the modest south London terrace where the boy became David Bowie. Located at 4 Plaistow Grove in Bromley, the house served as Bowie’s creative sanctuary from ages 8 to 20 (1955–1967). 4 Plaistow Grove marks the site where Bowie’s musical journey began; it was here that he wrote his earliest songs and regularly returned in the following years, as he wrote his breakthrough smash hit Space Oddity, which rocketed him to pop fame.
To preserve the house is to protect the spark, the formative years that shaped one of the greatest artists of the 20th century.
Bowie’s House aims to open to the public by the end of 2027.

Producers who work with original recordings from that era and want to do it with clearance in place tend to find Tracklib useful — it carries original commercial releases across that whole period of British and international music with licensing handled in…
Tried Ethereum-based platforms after getting tired of bank transfer delays. The process is different from what most people expect. You connect a wallet directly and transactions settle without a third party involved at any stage.
The resource at https://www.ethereumcasinoschweiz.ch/ covers the Swiss-specific context in reasonable detail, which helped me understand local considerations before making any moves.
Smart contract functionality is genuinely interesting from a technical standpoint. Conditions are coded into the transaction itself, so execution does not depend on a platform's manual processing. That reduces certain points of failure compared to traditional methods.
The learning curve is real though. Setting up a wallet and understanding gas fees takes time. Not something to rush into without reading documentation first.
Standard reminder to…
Mình có lần lướt đọc mấy trao đổi trên mạng thì thấy có người nhắc tới TR88 trong lúc câu chuyện đang nói dở, nên cũng mở ra xem thử cho biết. Mình không tìm hiểu sâu, chỉ xem qua trong thời gian ngắn để nhìn bố cục và cách sắp xếp nội dung tổng thể. Xem như vậy xong mình quay lại đọc tiếp các bình luận khác.

Hôm trước, mình thấy ai đó chia sẻ link https://go99.institute/ trong một cuộc trò chuyện trên mạng, nên mình cũng tò mò click vào xem thử. Mặc dù không đi sâu vào nội dung, nhưng mình chỉ lướt qua một chút và cảm thấy giao diện khá dễ nhìn, bố cục cũng gọn gàng. Xem xong mình lại quay về đọc tiếp các bình luận khác, cảm giác như vậy cũng thú vị.
