I wrote a quote. It became a meme. So I wrote a thing to go with it. public.digital/pd-insights/...

I keep forgetting about blue sky if I'm honest. Perhaps because I was never a twitter user. But these things draw me in from time to time...

OK, this is wild.

In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them.

It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for *nine days*.

What the HELL?

Looks idyllic. Oddly different in reality.

Still. It's a reminder of holidays in Sri Lanka.

@gwr.com looking great for the 1836. Be nice to do a trip home where a) any form of reservations work. b) you manage to rustle up the right number of crew. Finally critically c) put enough carriages on peak trains. #gwr #shitshow

End of a busy, unconventional week in the Netherlands. So many great moments. But unchecked, my mind keeps drifting back to the giant teapot in Utrecht.

There's a reason Kraft use K instead of C in their name. And I suspect it's legal.

We need to talk about meetings Complaining about meetings is like complaining about traffic, when you are the traffic.

Many years ago, a friend simultaneously ruined and enhanced my life by reminding me that I'm not 'In' traffic. I AM traffic. as the brilliant Julia Harrison points out. The same applies to #meetings justjuliauk.medium.com/we-need-to-t...

In my excitement at attending my first Ukgovcamp, I may have taken their followers count to an unfortunate number. #ukgc25

My nephew is asking me how much he will get from the tooth fairy. Not sure where he got the idea from, but I need to explain that this is a waste management issue, and that unless he has subscribed to the right council service. He will need to take it to the appropriate disposal site and pay them.

If I'd known this, today could have been a very different kind of day.

Riding side saddle because the seats on this train were spaced for hobbits.

Riding side saddle because the seats on this train were spaced for hobbits.

First, and probably the last experiment with the Southwest trains route home. Unless I'm travelling in the hobbit coach by mistake. Did I miss a tiny sign at waist height perhaps?
