There's not even a search function! Come on, you're a $3.2T company - you got this.

It's 2025 and #Bibtex #latex still has no standardize entry for citing a website. Come on people, get it together. #AcademicChatter.

Bill Gates Isn’t Like Those Other Tech Billionaires (Gift Article) The Microsoft co-founder and philanthropist is taking a break from the future to examine his past β€” and mulling where the billionaires now fit in.

Expect to seem him and his carefully curated image in the news a lot this month, as he's publishing (flogging? hawking?) a memoir.

Just found this wonderful video from Knobs that combines two of my interests: ridiculous #guitarpedals and #phytoplankton.

That's the internet for you - it has everything you can think of.

Arctic Ocean Canon
YouTube video by Lee de Mora Arctic Ocean Canon

Can't believe it, but it's been 5 years since I published the #EarthSystemMusic Christmas piece, Arctic Ocean Canon. It was inspired by the late George Winston's incredible take on Johann Pachelbel's Canon. The notes were linked to the #UKESM #climate model.
