The Secret Life of The Secret Life Of

wasabi pea sandwichWhile flicking casually through various shoutcast TV streams today, I came to focus my attention on an old documentary about computers, or offices, or machines, or office workers, or computerised office workers, or something.

It was pretty good.

Anyhoo, I think it was called "The Secret Life of Offices", or "The Secret Life of Computerised Office Workers" or something.

Being the ever-resourceful one, I thought I'd look it up on the local library catalogue to see if they held a copy.

I typed "secret life of" into the title search.

The returned result set detailed a shocking titling conspiracy, revealing once and for all: the secret life of The Secret Life Of...

  5. hmmm gross.

    Anyway, I realised I had forgotten what it was I was initially looking for… Turns out it was “The secret life of machines” series – check some clips on YouTube. I couldn’t see the “Office” episode, but it is in this BitTorrent download!

  6. ahh the secret life of machines, i loved that series. i think it was the combination of pulling stuff apart, the jazz soundtrack and the bizarre robotic or pyrotechnic sculptures they made at the end of each episode :)
