Just dropped off my boy for his GCSE exam, and he seemed far more relaxed than I feel. I'm so proud of him. But man, this sure is resurfacing all of my exam stresses. Good luck to all GCSE students. And to all the parents: I feel for you.

During Covid, I interviewed Heston Blumenthal for BBC Click over Zoom - it was one of the strangest, most memorable discussions I'd ever had. He seemed really manic. In a new programme Heston rewatches the recording, as he talks about his undiagnosed bipolar disorder. www.bbc.co.uk/news/a...

Ah, memories of IFA 2022. But what was happening here? (wrong answers only)

New newsletter klaxon! But what does a BBC presenter do next? Find out in this month's Spencer Kelly On The Edge. Subscribers received it in their inboxes yesterday. I would love for you to read it too - the link address is in the image below. Thanks!

I remember the BBC running a live camera on the chimney for Pope-Vote-watch a few years ago. The problem was, each time the smoke appeared, the bright sky behind it meant no-one could tell if it was white or grey.

So far every episode of Doctor Who Season 2 is better on the second watch.

New newsletter klaxon! Spencer Kelly On The Edge will arrive in your inbox tomorrow morning. I'd love you to subscribe, link is in the image. We are inching towards the target of a quadrillion subscribers...

This is why David Tennant is one of the greatest human beings. youtu.be/nknvQCQTup8...

This is really interesting. A research paper suggesting that the power (ability) of AI models is doubling every 7 months. A kind of Moore’s Law for AI. Brilliantly explained by Sydney Von Arx (best name ever) youtu.be/evSFeqTZdqs...

Morning you. How are things? (emoji answers only please)

Predestination is the perfect time travel film. It may not be the best, but it is perfect.

Have we all just given up on the 'h' in yoghurt?

One of the greatest inventions of the last century.

Some of my memories from 22 years @BBCClick. The Persian version of the programme was kind enough to interview me about everything I've seen, done and learned, and it's on YouTube now. There are 2 audio channels, so click Settings and choose to hear me in Farsi or English! youtu.be/BPcWa3pUZn0...

Yesterday I took the kids up to see where daddy has worked for more than two decades. This is my last official week at the BBC, and these are the obligatory leaving photos everyone, by law, must take. I've had the time of my life.

So although I heard that CapCut was a great video editing tool, and many tutorials and even its own website suggests the free version does a lot of useful stuff, it looks like those features are now only available in the Pro (paid for) version. CapCut users - is this true?

Yet another example of the nonsense AI chatbots are spitting out.

Finally - the behind-the-scenes story of @BBCClick. These are just a fraction of my fondest memories of the prog that was such a big part of all our lives. And to continue to follow my adventures in science & tech, I'd love you to subscribe to the newsletter. Details in the image!

My 9 year old daughter is now a pro fairy photographer. She did this all by herself using a drawing pad, my phone and its camera sticker function. She's definitely my girl ❤️

My best attempt. Forgot to buy eclipse glasses, so this is 100x zoom through a tinted sunroof and two pairs of shades. #eclipse #amateurhour

Nearly a year after it came down, it's finally back up.

Giving a keynote at a rather iconic location today.

Full circle at Click.

Behind the scenes of my final @BBCClick. On air this weekend, assuming they've switched me back on again.

Big day today. I'm filming my last piece for BBC Click. It'll feature drones, robots, treadmills and AI. Yeah, basically a Greatest Hits tour. But an emotional one all the same.

Lots of great comments so far about the weirdest interview I've ever done - to hear it, read about it, and comment, please do subscribe! I'm on my way to the target of a quadrillion subscribers...

Current view. See you later on @bbcmorninglive where I'll try and stop your phone being snatched.

What are AI Agents, and is 2025 the year they're going to take over? Wellllll.... not if this chat with a chatbot is anything to go by. This month's Spencer Kelly on the Edge is an eye-opener...

Scenes from a misty Monday morning train ride.

Weirdest-newsletter-ever klaxon! The Rise of the Machines drops on Monday - this one is mainly an audio experience... Previous eps still available at the usual places, and new subscribers very welcome.

I had a very weird experience with AI, which you'll hear about on next week's Spencer Kelly On The Edge. Meanwhile, there's still time to get your eyes and ears around the current edition, which features a certain megastar... Link is in the image - new subscribers very welcome!

It's not in the Recycle Bin, it's not in any of the folders listed, but I've got 90GB filling up my Samsung somewhere. Any idea how I track it down?

Random sunset shot, because you deserve it.

Wait! What? How did I miss this? Per Gessle has continued the Roxette sound after we lost Marie, and I'm loving loving loving it. open.spotify.com/art...

Shall I..?

If you've ever written a song about cats, it's streaming payday, because my daughter's in charge of the tunes.

Monthly newsletter pre-klaxon! Please enjoy a year of my thoughts on tech and TV at the link in the image, and the next edition is coming on Monday. It would mean the world if you would subscribe, as I edge ever closer to my target of a quadrillion readers. x

Standby. @bbcmorninglive

DeepSeek then. What do we think?

On my way to Manchester for tomorrow's @BBCMorningLive, where one of my stage instructions will be "SPENCER WRAPS GETHIN IN HEATED BLANKET". Prepare to get toasty @GethincJones

Well, I'm being delayed by a swan on the line. You?

Our last photo taken together at our last #CES for Click. It's been an absolute blast to film there for so many years with one of my best friends @laralewington.bsky.social. Got a bit emotional tbh.

Mary Berry, the very hairy fairy.

This is great! Never seen this type of performance before. youtu.be/m7NxnPbOZFE...

I'm a big fan of The Corridor Crew - they do interesting things with cameras and VFX. But they've been caught up in the LA fires, and in this video they give us a view of the different areas that are burning and an idea of the role of the windstorm in all this. youtu.be/TwYMb7tFnFo...

The only thing I think when I see these things up close is "I must get my internal graphics card upgraded". #notenoughpolygons
