A week today is the tenth and biggest Bradford Digital event, at Bradford Live, the redeveloped ex-Odeon cinema in the city centre. Looking forward to see where this all goes next. (And glad I can support the event - and the city I moved to just over 30 years ago.) www.linkedin.com/feed/update/...

The best bit about giving blood: The after donation treats.

My earlies are off in next week. (Somewhere round popping over to Oldham.)

Quick work weeknote:

* Mapping and the uncharted territory — where to avoid as much as dip into.
* Let people see the system, the now, the movement to whatever next.
* Unexpected — and fun — dip into ad land agency world.
* Good strategy is universal, wherever you work. So is bad strategy.

The TRAN TEMPO bit made me lol hard the first time. And the scale: “Train tempo is techno”.

Forgot - as it was early on - the Leeds Bins app by @tomforth.co.uk not just got a shout out at @fesshole.bsky.social but a couple of slides on screen. Boy's gone far

@milesmoss.bsky.social Ah, waybackmachine, thank you. (Needs a fix by the looks of things.) This drawing made me increasingly crack up as I was drawing it -- and it still does.

YES! Where has it gone?

If the main reason you want people back working in your office is because you believe _serendipity makes the magic happen_ then… you’ve an org problem. People talking is people talking. Don’t force on all your personal preference for format(s) that feel best for _you_. Serendipity is just random.

Reaction videos of CEOs eating the burgers their companies make. What a time to be alive.

(Show me the CEOs doing the hard work to create equal working conditions for women sooner than later.)

Oldham on the 14th is as close as I’ll be in the near future.

The amount of fidelity a professional needs in order to understand when an idea is BAD is almost zero. All the bells and whistles past that point only confuse the issue.

Rob Manuel performing on stage at his Fesshole show, wearing all black with a red and gold bishop's mitre hat and a large medallion. He holds a microphone and stands in front of golden draped curtains, with a projected pixel art portrait of Adam Ant visible on a screen to his right.

Fun Wednesday night out seeing @robmanuel.b3ta.com and his @fesshole.bsky.social show. 25 years of b3ta feels like a long time and no time. (Pretty sure we had some sort of random phrase creator on @codalmighty.bsky.social too at one point. Might’ve been the rage.) tldr: people are gross/great

They’re a *bit more* right wing Sherwood way than Toronto these days, mate. (Me mum lives that way…)

Admirable restraint

Why would I? All Town aren’t we? 😉

Waiting on the train to leave Leeds station. Nowt moans like a Yorkshireman, eh. It’s all shite, eh, etc etc. #TheFootball

Well, this sounds like an even greater pleasure. Thanks for the heads up.

This Oh, Mary!? We’re off next week.

Lovely run round Shoreditch this morning. Clocked them fresh Gorillaz artworks too.

No vibe coding on this train tonight. #Mmmmmaaaaaarrrrrriiinnneeeers

lol the train to London has been cancelled lol, of course of course.

Two days in London ahead. Let’s go (yet again).

A run note for January and February 2026. www.officeofwilson.com/run-note-for...

Artell demands high standards, celebrates squad depth and cup giant-killing, but consistently frustrated by inconsistency and missed chances.

I asked Claude to take all David Artell's post match interviews for this season so far and summarise them - and then give me a 20 word summary of those summaries.

I am now off to plant 20 trees.

lol lol lol. now I have

A printed copy of a first year uni project, a brand manual for a school at the University of Warwick.

Last night, while settling in for Town’s game against Walsall on the TV, I was given this present by Big Man, aka my 18-year-old son. Some of his first year uni work. Great stuff. Even a section on accessibility. Don’t see that from some pro brand manuals.👏🏼

Might do it again tomorrow. See what pops into my head first thing then. And the day after.
