I've made a little book out of old bits of internet. Here's the Official Blurb: Talking dogs. Sarcastic cats. Strange sports. Bizarre rituals. Dumb jokes. Stupid advice. Weird ideas. Old hat. I think that sums it up fairly well.
Hi, I've made another little book out of some old bits of internet that I found down the back of the sofa. It's called "Old Hat". It's a dinky pocketable size, with 200 pages of nonsense. A lot of it is talking animals. I'll do a proper note about it in a day or so, but you clever RSS subscribers get to hear about it first.
Some photos of people's shadows, taken in Bath in contrasty light. Hi! How are you?
Photos of parched ground. A note to my future self.
A new little project: How to write a letter is a new thing from Haudoo, but it's not the same as all the previous things from Haudoo. It's a different thing. And it's free.
Catching up with some highlights and some links
A brief tribute to my aunt, Dr Margaret Turnbull, who died recently.
Not much about work - in fact, nothing at all about work - but quite a lot of links, for those of you who are link-leaning.
3 is the best number of list items, as Russell Davies explained in his PowerPoint book. Other good numbers are 5, 6 and 10. The worst number is 9. There you go, I've summarised the blog post in the RSS feed update so you don't even need to go and read it now. MEETING USER NEEDS, people.
A shortish Friday note with some shortish Friday thoughts from a shortish Friday writer, who also sometimes writes on other days.
Celebrating 10 years of "It's ok"…
Quite a long weeknote, with quite a lot of links.
Two approaches to institutional openness; each has a different purpose, and will bring about different outcomes.
A few thoughts about a good sticker and a good catchphrase: For the NHS, by the NHS.
A brief update about a photo show
I'm a wee bit fascinated by the structures people build on their allotments. Let me show you what I mean.
Mostly about my thoughts after visiting the V&A East Storehouse; but also some other things. Please sponsor my mum on her sponsored walk.
How I'm messing about with my own spud routine this year. Skip this one if you're only interested in the stuff with links and ranting about writing.
Links at the start. Some of the usual nonsense. A small moan about macOS.
Some - admittedly biased - opinions about using AI to write prose. And the poetry that makes prose better.
Backups, bad slides, quite a lot of links, couple of pictures, what more do you need?
