I call this “Self portrait, with science”

A brick wall in bright sunlight. Casting two shadows are a colander showing multiple crescents of the partial solar eclipse, and my head.

New book smell… breathe it in… (Thanks to my wonderful local bookshop @caper.fun)

Two books sitting on a table side by side. On the left The Art Of Star Wars Andor, on the right Scriptnotes, a book about screenwriting.

An upcoming Laika release is always cause for excitement, so getting this unexpected extra in my @empiremagazine.bsky.social subs delivery has made my day.

A Wildwood special feature mini-magazine sits on a garden table next to a glass of wine.

Picnicking.

Two glasses of red wine sitting on a picnic basket. A blue and white picnic blanket in the background leads through to green grass and trees.

S’up Sauron

The Shard in London. A tower that looms ominously over the skyline.

Heading back to Oxford after an excellent time at #WebDayOut, catching up with old friends, making new ones, and lots of brain food.

A piano painted in Pride colours, adorned with stars and hearts. It has a sign saying “Play Me” across the top, but the lid is padlocked. It’s giving a real mixed messages vibe.

Any conference in Brighton should start with a bracing seafront walk. And today was very bracing! #WebDayOut

Looking at a very rough sea on the south coast of the U.K. In the foreground is a roofed shelter.

Thank you Brighton and #FFConf, a great time was had as always.

Snap! (Your shot is way better though)

Science World in Vancouver, a spherical building with lights making it look like a jack o’lantern, or a giant Pac-Man.

When one is in Vancouver one must do the Fringe pilgrimage.

Leaving a little joy in the codebase for future me.

A python test that checks for invalid system languages. It's checking for the Star Wars languages Ghor and Shyriiwook.

Hello Bristol. It’s good to be back. Bit toasty though.

A bar sign with a pink elephant that says “Delirium”

Visiting Coruscant.

Hello Leeds, lovely to be back. I don’t think I’ve ever had to pack sunscreen for @heypresents.com before.

Leeds Post Office Square, surrounded by buildings. The sky is a deep blue with wispy clouds. People are milling about enjoying the sun.

We mustn't dwell... no, not today. We CAN'T. Not on Rex Manning day!

A badge of Rex Manning from Empire Records, around the edge of the badge is a purple ring saying “Happy Rex Manning Day!”

Good work Wikipedia editor. A+, no notes.

The Wikipedia page for Pogonophobia, the fear of beards. The illustrative image is of Friedrich Engels sporting a large beard, and the caption reads "Friedrich Engels; a man with a big beard"

I love the random crisp flavours that turn up in my local corner shop.

A packet of Lays “creamy forest mushroom” flavoured crisps.

Is it really a screening of Hundreds Of Beavers if an actual beaver doesn’t sit in front of you?

The view from the third row of the Ultimate Picture Palace cinema. In the background is the screen, just in front is a guy in a yellow beanie, and someone in a giant beaver costume.

Productive visit to my local bookshop. That’s my weekend sorted. Thank you @ryannorth.ca @kierongillen.bsky.social @stephaniehans.bsky.social @claytoncowles.bsky.social for putting lovely things into the world.

The books “How To Invent Everything” by Ryan North, and “We Called Them Giants” by Kieron Gillen, Stephanie Hans, and Clayton Cowles sitting on a table, shot from above.

Without downloading new pics what’s your energy going into 2025

Happy Hogswatch Eve! #GNUTerryPratchett

Found an excellent tree today.

@ryannorth.ca @chrisfenoglio.bsky.social Warp Your Own Way was a big hit at the comic book club this month. I thought you’d like to see a couple of photos of all the bookmarks, and re-reading at the table 😊

A copy of Warp Your Own Way with many bookmarks in the pages.

Possibly the two greatest words ever.

Faffing achieved, shenanigans unlocked.

An array of period metal beer signs pinned on a wall from various breweries, including Sirens Craft Brew, Moor, Barenbier and Timmermans.

Oh cool! #uksnow OX4 6/10. Really didn’t think it was going to make it this far south today. It’s big boots and coat weather!

Two black garden chairs and a small table sit in front of a hedge. Everything is covered in a dusting of snow. Out of focus flakes can be seen falling into frame.

This is a great run down of the why and how. Plus it comes with an excellent how-to graphic. www.perkins.org/resource/how...

An infographic explaining that good alt text is about identifying the subject, their expression (if applicable), the situation, and any interesting features. It is illustrated by a photo of a capybara with a lemon on its head.

It’s Sunday evening, I have a bit of a wine buzz on. Must be time for the second Evolution of Horror homework assignment.
