Very strange seeing Gary Neville in the back of the Mercedes garage. #f1

Continuously watching videos about the HiChord as coping mechanism until mine arrives

I know I missed the anniversary, but my, *this* is how to do an anniversary video. Never been bettered, really www.youtube.com/watch?v=7hRy...

Very much in favour of this dame.is/writing/blog...

Now or Never Now All Comes Crashing Gimme Sympathy Help I'm Alive Monster Hospital Artificial Nocturne Youth Without Youth Synthetica Grow Up and Blow Away London Halflife Combat Baby Almost certainly my favourite (not in any order) Metric songs, in case anyone was wondering.

xylophone sound

Yes, but also, *clearly* the simplest explanation is that James Bond is a Timelord from the planet Gallifrey.

Low energy Saturday. An adventure is needed, soon.

"It feels more and more like the expectation that social media users have is for other social media users is not sharing their thinking out loud or thinking in progress, but declaring positions with which one argues or agrees."

I was today years old when I found out that Exile Vilify, by The National, is not longer available on streaming services 😢

Everything old is new again www.jenitennison.com/2009/02/01/y... smethur.st/posts/34518552 Machine readable data, content negotiation, RSS, JSON, RDF... it's all still relevant, in some ways.

Signs up. I'm @r4isstatic on there, as you'd expect.

barista: can i take your name james bond: the name's bond barista: ok james bond: james bond barista: well i've written bond now james bond: it's ok don't barista: i can get a new cup james bond: no it's fine barista: it's not a problem james bond: just go with bond

Speed dating is when you have to tell Keanu Reeves a little bit about yourself or this bus will explode

All social media

#BlueSky feature request: the ability to follow a hashtag from a specific user. I. E. I'd like to see person Y's posts about topic x, but I'm not bothered about their posts on other things (which aren't bad, they're just not overlapping with my interests).

BBC really burying the lede there

Oh, I quite like 'Split view' in Chrome.

Snagged by a cold. Knackered.

Did some good humaning under bittersweet circumstances today, I think. Hopefully made a positive difference.

Oh no, I've suddenly got the urge to start watching Halt and Catch Fire again.

Piastri should be absolutely fuming about that VSC.

Pretty soon I'll have a HiChord and a Orchid to go along with Ableton Live 10 + a Push 2 and MPK Mini. Next step, working out which audio interface to buy that would connect at least the HiChord and Orchid to a Mac Mini with USB-C.

Forget Andor being the best of Star Wars, here’s Mr Blobby instead of Darth Vader in Rogue One.

Indulging myself in some much needed (music-making themed) retail therapy after a twisty week.

Hire @suw.bsky.social ! She's awesome and has an incredible amount of knowledge, wisdom and expertise.

Uh oh. I think I may have found the software which allows me to experiment and learn modular synthesis... grm.tools/en/atelier.h... (Shame about the price tag, though understandable!)

I see @scottmitchellmalm.bsky.social is continuing his quest to be featured or invited onto @footballcliches.bsky.social with a casual ‘for my sins’ and a couple more sly nods to Cliches in a recent episode of The Race F1 podcast.

Today, I discovered... THE DATA ENCLAVE

Do you compose or publish music in the UK? 'Call for composers and publishers to deposit digital scores' with the British Library and other legal deposit libraries? www.bl.uk/stories/blog... Please share with any musicians you know!

Look at music creation tech - Ableton Push, HiChord, the Orchid. Where is the equivalent of the 'ideas machine' for writers, storytellers etc? And yes, I know that it's not for lack of ideas - the economics just don't seem to support it. But still. *So* much opportunity to explore here.

This looks interesting, and incredibly up my street, potentially. Anyone know anything about it or the people behind it? othelia.com #structureddata #narrative #storytelling

A fine early autumn afternoon. Why not take a break from watching the boats go by at a riverside pub and read these weeknotes from @anyaso.bsky.social and I? ukparliament.github.io/ontologies/m...

What's with the apparent resurgence in usage of Garamond font? Are we all harking back to the early 90s or something?

Been thinking on F1 and I think their issue is they don't respect the younger audience or make any time to understand them

I do love (and am nicely proud at instigating this) that there are still RSS feeds for every topic, filtered by journal, at RESTful URLs for every Nature journal: www.nature.com/subjects/dna...

Revision, my book about a wiki where your edits come true, is being re-released TOMORROW! You can still preorder on many, many ebook sites! Here's everyone but Amazon books2read.com/u/mvEBqe Plus Amazon too I guess www.amazon.com/Revision-And...

Ever wondered where all the Cheers title photos are from? I did. And I've gathered everything I can find into this post. That was fun. joelmorris.substack.com/p/where-nobo...

Still anticipating the arrival of the HiChord. I should under no circumstances be eyeing up an EP-133, should I? teenage.engineering/products/ep-...

Signed up for @thestorygraph.com to go alongside my Last.fm and Letterboxd accounts. Now just need one for games, and then a single, easy interface to send updates to any of these services from one place.

Back home, listening to ambient music, and I really *shouldn't* be watching & dreaming of playing with things like this youtu.be/-IvTQ9hBmIk

.... And back in London.
