Sad that our neighbours are chopping down a large tree in their garden. It was home to lots of birds and cast a nice amount of shade over our garden. On the plus side we wid sometimes worry about what would happen if it came down in a storm (which is why I assume they're probably getting rid of it).
Not quite the same but I'd love to see an 80s inspire teen summer camp movie crossed with Predator.
How ChatGPT describes my music taste based on a few uploaded playlists. Think it gets it pretty much spot on.
I personally love the look of the new Ferrari Luce by Jonny Ives, but charging is a bit of a pain.
People say “money doesn’t buy you happiness. Often those people a) were born into money and b) haven’t experienced what it’s like not to have money. This article argues that ”professional” people and people from higher “classes” tend to be happier. www.theguardian.com/inequality/2...
We used to call the first one wip3out because the E looked more like a backwards 3.
Technological adoption takes time. Not least because it needs to replace old behaviours, however inefficient.

For the sensible voting system for sure. But mostly for this. Sounds idyllic (and very different from the Australia I remember from the 90s).
Amazon be like “we saw you recently bought a kitchen bin so here’s another kitchen bin you might like”
Well i’ve never seen this before. Especially not in a unisex public bathroom.
Here’s what my dentist charges. The first volume is without membership. The second column us with membership (which is £20 a month).
Fun podcast chat between me and the wonderful @jessicahische.bsky.social on her founder journey bootstrapping @studioworks.app
I’m genuinely surprised that this post didn’t get more traction. I mean this Chas&Dave and this Eminem.
In my second episode I talk to the wonderful John Zeratsky and Jake Knapp of Design Sprint fame. In this clip John explains why two former designers started a venture capital firm, and they value their unique perspective brings.
Here's a clip from the first interview with Intercom's Des Traynor. In it Des explains why it's never been easier for non technical folks, and especially designers, to found their own startup.
