simple, true

I’ve had to frantically pivot to this after Newcastle lost to West Ham.

You’ve been cast as Spike in the Buffy reboot?

Wasn’t US East the default region for all AWS accounts back in the day? Perhaps a lot of folk never switched.

A double-page spread from the book “Oh The Things They Invented” by The Cat in The Hat describing Tim Berners-Lee and the Internet.

The Cat in The Hat knows a lot about that

I live in Bristol yet I can’t be at Small Bar. Painful

Too good

I wondered if they were at half-mast or if they just couldn’t be bothered to climb the whole lamppost

Dammit Ed I just resigned myself to re-upping my 13 mini!

In 1999 you would‘ve put good money on them being the ultimate “of their place, of their time” band. And yet.

Wow yeah it’s really good. I’d never heard of them. Cheers!

Complete CSS - Course overview

The best decision I made this year was to pre-order Complete CSS by Andy Bell (piccalil.li/complete-css). The content is wide-ranging, practical, and human-centered, just like the web at its best. The presentation and pacing are spot on too.

See “TV funnyman Nicholas Lyndhurst” for the UK version of this. But it wasn’t a joke, it was just how he was described in the Radio Times as his next doomed vehicle was about to air.

“Apologies for the leaving party going on behind me. I was given promises about restraint which were not kept”

Full Hürlimann Bier glass on a pub table

Friday cheers from a dive bar in Zurich

Not a day goes by when I don’t yell “Glass or Plastic?” from the top of a lighthouse

Remembering lyrics over a 20+ year career is the TMG, Hold Steady and Los Campesinos equivalent of running 5km and doing 6 costumes changes in a set.

I assumed it was the conclusion to a saga. Like she was planning to put them down and people got mad so they had to assemble some “experts” to say the cats were miserable all along.

Taskmaster, nooo
