We're getting extremely close to the day when America spends more money to build data centers than office buildings

Only 5 years ago, office construction spending was 7x data center spending

My wife got a mojito at tea time today and I fear it had too much soda. It certainly didn't have the deep colour of that dapper little number in front of you.

Top tip - definitely take that entirely new thing the tech bros invented - a "micro sabbatical" or "micro retirement" - every single year.

Filter coffee in a rather pretty white and blue china cup. It's white with blue lines in five rows up the cup, as if someone was marking off the days...

Me to my youngest last night - "hey why dont you get off the screen. We're on holiday."

Boy - "what do you want to do then?"

Me - "I don't know - you could come and talk to me about your hopes and fears, your dreams and aspirations."

Boy - "yes OK let's talk about Arsenal". πŸ˜‚

Nice! Pour over is a great home option. So many great roasters around Europe these days
