I'll possibly be in NYC start of August for a work thing, around 4th and 8th for possible hangs. Who do I still know around there? I'll be around Soho / East Village.

I think the BBC version (74mins, one programme) is a cut down version of the @cnn.com version of the same name (trakt.tv/shows/twitte...) going by trailers for that.

Twitter: Breaking the Bird The inside story of the tech entrepreneurs who created the social media app Twitter. They hoped to build a digital utopia but were unable to control the dark side of their creation.

Rarely watch iPlayer but saw this pop up.

Really weird watching this, seeing names I recognise from my early time (joined Nov 2007) on that site, seeing things with older eyes.

What a time.

There’s an Amazon returns bin in charity shops now?

Just out from seeing David Gray’s Past & Present tour in Brussels. Been twenty something years since I last saw him in the SECC in Glasgow.

A plain white plate with two small brownie pieces on one side and six cucumber chunks on the other. The plate is on a dark wood effect table top.

It’s called a balanced diet.

Trying the Apple Hearing Test with AirPods Pro 2 Without meaning to, earlier I went through the Apple Hearing Test available on iPhones with my a8c anniversary AirPods Pro 2s just over 6 years after my initial diagnosis. They aren't identical test so I am not comparing them like for like but on the surface it is comforting to see that whilst I've thought my hearing is getting worse (and for sure my tinnitus seems worse), seeing the graphs side by side show a lot of different.

Tried the Apple Hearing Test. Interesting experience.

Used that Scan & Go in Markies a few times, feels like stealing even though I literally pay.

That’s my 10 year old into his school World Book Day. He went as @amateuradam.bsky.social (in his prior career outfit of scrubs & lab coat) and hilariously took “Dexter Procter the 10-Year-Old Doctor”. Cheers Adam for entertaining me but also my son with your wit & wisdom.

It’s now demolished and just a path up Black street with some odd shaped walls.

New Woo I'm almost two weeks late (aside from sharing on LinkedIn) with this one but we did a thing at work. Introducing the new Woo: A revitalized brand for a new commerce landscape. Tamara goes over it in the post but this one has been a long time coming. It all happened internally, every team at Woo was involved somehow, and I've attended a bunch of external calls with my new waterbottle turned the other way 😂

My 2024 in Viewing AKA how much TV/Movies did I watch? Although I've had an account for a few years, I really leaned into using Trakt.tv as much as possible this year. I wasn't consistent with adding episodes after watching them - i.e. I have a massive spike in August when I marked almost all of The Office as watched on 24th August. …
