While sudden cliff falls at Birling Gap (near my home town of Eastbourne) are no joke, I really love how much it looks like we’ve roused a grumpy, sleepy sea-wizard.

Another argument for putting all computers in the bin, including the one I'm typing on theshamblog.com/an-ai-agent-...

Rewatching Drag Race series 5 (w/ the Untucked eps too). It's like that series of Big Brother where they reduced the living space and didn't give them enough food (ie amazing)
