Jira Wrapped for tickets created and updated too

Looking forward to Microsoft Office Wrapped telling me how many emails I received and sent this year

* relative term

Off to Govcamp Scotland today - looking forward to stepping back from the day-to-day, looking sideways at what others are doing/thinking, and having some engaging discussions on a summer-y day*

The Guardian website now requires horizontal scrolling (as well as vertical) to browse the current homepage - on mobile at least. It's carousels all the way down.

Cannot understand this design regression.

Have received *four* emails now asking me to review my customer experience of using a left luggage service that cost me about €3

Thinking of setting up a regional express delivery service. Will call it RegEx.

Filled a reusable bottle up from a free public frizzante water tap and this really is class

Might depend which ending you are going for?

The Ghosts in the Machine, by Liz Pelly Spotify’s plot against musicians

Interesting reminder that mediums/platforms aren't neutral, and also how much some (most?) people have a relatively casual interest in music - vibes more than passion harpers.org/archive/2025...

For all its foibles and failings, I still find the ability to play a specific song or turn on a light by simply *saying those words out loud* a little bit magical

Hi Neil! Sorry we didn't manage to say hello properly in person. A full-on day! Hope you're keeping well 🙂

Things that scale will exacerbate existing harms - one articulation of risks associated with new AI technologies (something that was also relevant to the previous wave of 'digital' transformation in the last couple of decades #ukgc25

Was a surprisingly unexpected and useful metaphor, for that comparative thought exercise of what 'shape' that transformation *should* have

Looking at the first time slot alone and I have a 6-way tie of sessions I want to go to. The FOMO is real! #ukgc25

First time back in person at #ukgc25 since before the pandemic - excited!

Interested in *sensible* routes of enquiry for "AI" in improving public services, which I imagine will be a common theme.

Yeah for sure, my response there was guilty of reading and responding to a couple of related things that were more grift-y and less on point. Thanks for sharing the article!

Now completely in knots over the boundaries of machine learning and 'AI'

I mean, the image analysis part here yes of course, but the broader discussion sprawls out into tenuous examples

The terminology is woolly - is taking photographs of roads 'AI'? Good idea, good use of technology, but AI seems to increasingly mean anything done with computers.

Having to search for something using a remote to hunt and peck the letters on a smart TV app is an experience that can surely be improved?

Vicky was one of those fantastic people who makes the 'public sector design/digital/etc' community the best of what it is. I never worked with Vicky but was still privileged to benefit from her perspective and knowledge, in writing and at conferences/meetups. She was so generous with it.

January inspiration is definitely the ticket!

Drifted away from using Twitter very much last year, but start of a new year seems an appropriate time to put in the effort of setting up a profile on here. Hope it's not too much hassle!
