Drawing of a sort of hemispherical blob with a face and lots of little legs.

They said I shouldn’t do it. They said there was no point.

But I’ve done it. I’ve proved them wrong.

I’ve reinvented the wheel and it’s FUCKING AWESOME

Autumnal tree limbs, the leaves glowing in their last bloom of colour before fallling

Wind generator silhouetted against a cloudy sky.

This justifies EV ownership for me. Two wind generators, plus batteries. Off grid, half the price of on grid charging stations.

Introduce yourself using only one food you refuse to eat, one movie you'll never watch again, and one song you can't stand.

Winter Melon (it's a Chinese thing)

Star Wars (though technically, I've never seen it)

Anything by Coldplay

Definitely a pervert typo.

Duty Calls

Thanks to AI there are not even more people on the internet today who are wrong.

Image of a Tesla EV using a charging stand as a parking space.

Effing Tesla driver. Parking in a charging bay, no intention of charging (he's the wrong way round) even though there are plenty of parking spaces.

Plus, when he left, he turned right against a "no right turn" sign.

Are Teslas the new BMWs?

Meh, I don't really agree with you. Obviously, I do use my Subscriptions feed, but I also find a lot of good material from outside that bubble surfaced on the Home feed. Stuff I don't like, I flag to YouTube and the channel is never seen again.

a truly abject sight

Wow, an easy reckoner on which companies to boycott.

A rugged hillside is silhouetted in front of the sun trying to shine through ominous clouds

Glencoe, back in character.

A view from a white sandy beach at Arisaig, looking up at a Jeep Avenger silhouetted against an assure sky with light wispy clouds

Handy for the beach.

Sign pointing to Hagrids Hut (but no longer there)

Sign pointing to signal rock viewpoint pointing out that that's isn't a view.

So far we've visited signal rock view point, with no view, Hagrids Hut with no hut and entered the forbidden forest without a problem. Glencoe is not all as it seems.

I walked up the hill a little bit too catch the last of the sunset before the midges caught me.

Morning sunshine streams over the mountains in Glencoe.

Glencoe sunshine. There was a time when I would have interpreted "Glencoe sunshine" as a euphemism for rain. Not today.

I lived in China for over 15 years, so using a VPN was an inconvenient fact of life. I didn't expect to be dusting off that tool again, less than a year after returning to the UK.

A blog post about my tinkering with a #RaspberryPi Zero. Written with tongue in cheek, so it's not to be taken entirely seriously. (It's all true, though!)

It's hilarious that they genuinely don't seem to understand the difference between "the entire body of scientific research into quantum physics" and "what I've kind of passively absorbed through pop culture over the past twenty years"

Mono shot of a calm lake on a hot summer's day. Small clouds are reflected in the surface and a family of swans approaches.
