No, that's fine. Just pull one player's hair and elbow another in the penalty area. That's an even more obvious VAR failure than the Isak one. What is the point of having literally 8 officials if none of them can see what was obvious to everyone watching?! #PUSB

Am I though, LinkedIn? Am I really a top applicant for Head of Accessories and Bags Design at Stella McCartney?
LI notification reads “You're a top applicant for Head of Accessories and Bags Design at Stella McCartney and 80+ other jobs.”

Obviously if you're a fan you don't care a jot but goodness me Arsenal are a hard watch. So dull, so much nonsense, so little to get excited about. #EPL

I'm kicking off work on my morning video iOS app. It's going to be the same videos of the sea I post here, but in a simpler, less compressed form. I'm currently working on spatial audio mixing of the videos based on their screen positions and trying to get scrolling to be nice and smooth.

I'm on day five of a lousy cold and no sleep and I think I'm ready to succumb. Bring on the succumbing.

Instagram has figured out that I wish in Japan and that I am feeling completely fed up work working in tech and so now my feed is just an endless list of things that pile onto those miseries in highly targeted and specific ways. So that's cool. Love that for me.

The Diplomat is Mary Poppins but where the Nanny is The US ambassador to the UK and Dick van Dyke is Ross Poldark. It's so silly.

Busy out in the bay this morning. Lots of ships waiting for better weather before venturing out into the Atlantic, and at least one Russian shadow fleet cargo ship en route to Turkey.

its 10am why is it dark?

I'm back in Devon after a very late train last night and had big ambitions of getting out for a look at the sea and a stroll but it's filthy out there and I can't be arsed.

Normal morning sea video programming will resume once the weather stops being a twat.

The sky was very good this morning.

I'd been out of the house for a couple of hours before sunrise and the weather had been calm all morning until five minutes before the sun came up when it started absolutely hammering it down.

Paul Gascoigne, Jimmy Nail, Ant and Dec, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Robson Green, your boys took a hell of a beating. #PUSB #COVNEW

Finding references to my work in the agent instructions in other people's projects on GitHub is kind of amusing. No credit, no email to say 'hey thanks for your work on x, I'm using it to help with my work on y'. I guess that's where we are at now.

After some major spelunking into weird corners of the internet I got my hands on a Sony credit card sized SRF-220 FM/AM radio.

This one has a ukiyoe print on it and takes a 2.5mm headphone jack which is deeply inconvenient, but I wanted to carry a radio in my wallet and so that was the trade-off.

I woke up annoyed this morning at the way corporate PR and organisational mechanics have somehow become cultural output. Why the fuck are people listening to mediocre middle managers making shitty podcasts? Why are designers fawning over rebrands like they are films or books or great albums?

This game has 3rd minute Mad Utd goal/Spurs red card and shambolic collapse written all over it.

Maybe it'll be good for them to go down, regroup, win a few more games, build a bit of positive momentum and then try and come back as a team that knows how to play. #MANTOT #football

New side-project alert!

Vidoumo is a way to turn Youtube videos into Japanese learning opportunities with translations, pronunciations and definitions. You can use it to learn as you watch videos, and save vocab to a list you can take with you into other apps.

this app is very good. I've wanted a podcast app that was able to strip ads forever and this one actually does a good job of it.

What will I do with all the time I no longer have to dedicate to Squarespace/Green Juice/Mattress ads.

I've averaged 9 meets per day this week.

I've seen my parents 4 times in the last ten years.

At the current rate I will have around 51,000 more meetings before state retirement age and I'll see my parents 3 more times before they die.

HOPE YOU'RE HAVING A GOOD WEEK.

I had the joy of hearing two old white women in the supermarket this morning moaning about how they are "in the minority round here now".

They are part of the NINETY FIVE FUCKING PERCENT of the local population who are White British.

So that was a good start to the DAY.

Hey guys has anyone heard of Anthony Bourdain???

There's a real lack of fawning, paint-by-numbers, performatively sincere content online about what a great guy he was despite his flaws and how his TV shows speak specifically to that one persons totally unique view of the world.

My version of fiddling whilst the world burns is adding silly things to my already silly website, and I think on balance that's probably better than watching the news.

I've spent the last month working on a side-project: a documentary history of my house - deeds, censuses, estate maps, newspaper archives. Real archive work too, days in local libraries and record offices, not just a laptop and 400 browser tabs. What a massive nerd. #devon
The 1889 Ordinance Survey Map of the neighbourhood A timeline of the various occupants of the house, starting with the farmer who grazed his cattle on land owned by the Duke of Somerset in the mid-1800s. Fun with type and layout - The page is super text heavy, as you might expect, so I've tried to break it up with varied layout and rhythm to make it a bit less of a slog. The essay itself is really just the tip of the iceberg. I still have lots of evidence to gather and add, and a bunch of side quests to go on.

Love the pre-match coverage of the Cov game being mostly a conversation about Manchester United and then a former Manchester City player being interviewed at some car thing. #PUSB

I’m forever looking for a good coworking space and today I went to a private members library which was glorious and beautiful but I think I’m coming to realise that my job is just not particularly compatible to working in a shared space - I spend a lot of my days on conference calls and I…

Spent some time on the weekend getting my home office sorted and made space for my pride and joy, my Braun SK5 phonosuper record player and radio. I hope I’m in as good a condition as this is when I am 68 years old.

Got half way to the beach before remembering that some thoughtful soul had scheduled an 8am meeting and so here I am, looking at a monitor instead of looking at the sea. Furious.

Kittens! This is Mog and Boots (named after Mogadishu and Djibouti) after Antananarivo died earlier this year it was time for some new furry pals. My son is in charge of naming and obviously has a thing for African cities. They’re so small 😱

Decamped to my local coffee place to work for a bit and as I sat down My Favourite Girl by King Creosote came on. One of my all time faves. I was just thinking about it last night. Theres even a bad cover of it on my soundcloud. So serendipitous. ❤️

Once again let down by no one bothering to sever the deep-sea communications cables before I had to go back to work after a fortnight off. Rude.

If I was going to write a think piece about why I hate competitive cycling despite loving cycling it would be something along the lines of how it has become exactly like formula one in being all about platforming corporations and appealing to the tastelessness of the rich and the aspirationally so.

Pretty happy with how the camping setup has worked out this year, and that it isn’t a garish abomination. The Element also continues to just be the best car for this kind of trip. #hondaelement
