After listening again to Rufus Wainwright’s cover of the whole album at the weekend, this week, as I left the office, I put on Judy Garland’s concert at Carnegie Hall. By the time I’d made it to the train station I’d been moved to tears twice. It’s that amazing. Serendipitously, I just found out it was recorded 65 years ago today.
All of these people saying that Formula 1 is now like Mario Kart. I don’t think they played the original on the SNES; that was proper racing. There was none of this ‘blue shell’ malarkey and artificially being faster just because you’re at the back. I think we need to get more specific with the metaphor. “Formula 1 is like Mario Kart on the Nintendo 64” is the proper form of insult.
A good, solid week at work. It felt like I got lots done. I had a very busy end to the week, including a lot of socialising and an excellent long bike ride in the spring sunshine. This was a week in which I: Agreed how we will move forward with a temporary setup in our new office — both technology and furniture — to allow our colleagues to get in and start using it. Synced up with all of the main project team members on our plans, including the project manager who was on holiday. I don’t like…
Despite last week being filled with illness and unexpected jobs that consumed me for days, it felt great to be back at my desk on Tuesday, so my time off must have been restful after all. Over the weekend, my friend Nick texted me to ask how I planned to get to the office this […]
A week off work, dominated by having a streaming cold for a few days and a catastrophic failure of my home network drive, resulting in multiple days of effort to get it up and running again. All last week I had felt as though I was on the cusp of getting sick, but it never […]
🎶 Came across this wonderful video from 1969 with Stevie Wonder and Diana Ross. The performances of the songs are superb, and there is such a lovely warmth between the two of them.
A really tough week, mentally and physically. I spent the first two days at the Gartner CIO Leadership Forum, an event that I really like as it is relatively small, resulting in you bumping into the same faces in different sessions. I felt all jumbled up and out of sorts, which I first attributed to […]
My first five-day work week for a while, and it was a tough one. Despite twenty years of following GTD and working on simplifying my workflow, in busy periods I end up falling back to a simple list. A mental sweep of all of the things I really need to get done as quickly as […]
The start of the week was spent travelling back from Kingsville, Texas. Saying that it is 5,000 miles away from Berkhamsted isn’t doing justice to quite how long it takes to travel between them. I was up at 6am and on the road less than an hour later in order to get the car returned […]
