When I was working at the National Film & Television School after the BBC, around this time every year, students would be embarrassed to admit they'd seen this TV clip. To be clear, the Fairlight couldn't play Drum 'n' Bass, someone with a wry sense of humour overdubbed it! youtu.be/fsKKf-WNtdI?...

Fair do's. I've been shouting at it for years! www.theverge.com/tech/932973/...

Each year when watching Drag Race UK I like to play Which One's The Doctor Who Fan? Some seasons it's more obvious than others.

I was using a Mac when it stopped just being a raincoat. Does anyone remember Fat Bits in Macpaint? It magnified your work so you could see detail, but the resolution was so primitive that everything looked like Minecraft.

You see, it's not just AI that plaguerises!

And here's another one!

I don't know why but this makes me think of the days when people had phones attached to their cars with a recorded message that went "I'm sorry I'm in at the moment, please leave a message!"

This is worth a look. yaelwolfe.medium.com/please-dont-...

Mark Ayres and I were outside Cardiff's concert hall, and two elderly guys pass by on bikes. One says to the other... "That was when they took away the toilets and I haven't been since." #overheard

Roger Limb, Glynis Jones, Mark Ayres, and I were at the Music Producers Guild Awards last week, where we picked up the Pioneer award for the Radiophonic Workshop, past and present, alongside rolling credits of over eighty people connected with the workshop, headed by Delia Derbyshire and John Baker.

Wonderful. Look for the Witch Cone Shadow.

I've never been that good at pulling strings

There's an article in the Guardian about the intrinsic value of things. We bought a doorstop 5 years ago. It's still in its box. The box acts as a doorstop kept in place by the weight of the doorstop inside. Turns out intrinsic value is complicated.

When you're young, you hate it when they ask you for proof of age, but later in life your hate it when they don't!

Aspiring writers out there should be aware of an email scam purporting to be from Laini Taylor (bestselling novelist). An AI seems to have used data from my published book and my musical background to construct an apparently flattering email, wanting to learn more. www.instagram.com/p/DWrfD0kDzlk/

What timing, but don't worry Stuart, it'll still be there when you get back and btw it's raining here.

I’ve been to BBC Maida Vale many times since they announced its imminent sale, but last month's visit was my last. I was taking part in Radio 4's Archive Hour, telling the story of the eerie soprano who never took a breath. substack.com/@peterhowell... www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Just getting my feet under the table here, oh and on Substack as well. Perhaps I'm taking on too much! 🤫 More later...
