This might be the most Wayne's World thing I have ever said, but Bodhidharma by Agriculture has the best guitar solo of 2025 on it

My dad is so riddled with untreated ADHD (that I don't think he believes in) that he's recently been forced to sell his house and he now lives in a caravan at 74, but you go off Wes

I’ve sometimes fallen into the trap of thinking that complementing a creative person for their work is less sophisticated or desired than discussion or debate about it but very often the best thing you can say to them is hell yeah and that doesn’t make you dumb it just makes you nice

The great thing about winter running is the going out dressed like a little ray of sunshine

It's December 1st, which means that throughout the entire month you should reserve 5-10 minutes every day to read a fantastic article about HTML. ❤️‍🔥 Check out what's hidden behind the first door. htmhell.dev/adventcalendar

Tried to take a nice picture of me and the dog

I think CEOs should have to deal with making staff redundant personally, face to face. "But Chris", you say; "How would that possibly work if they're making mass layoffs?" "Mm, how WOULD that?", I reply.

Tell me you have two kids and an office job without etc etc

I am reposting this on a pixel 6 and I hope I die before it does

stupid young people, stop buying a new phone every year if you don't want to be broke. wait no, not like that.

Between Minidisc and the UMD, never forget that Sony spent most of the early 00s just putting tiny CDs in little houses

Having a lovely time with a coffee and @forgottenworlds.bsky.social while my daughter is at Ballet

It's new job day! I work at @surveymonkey.com now!

Why stop at phrenology when you can add another old pseudoscience to justify racism.

I run past this building all the time and I am pretty sure the gate only unlocks if you have three chess piece shaped keys

I absolutely guarantee you there's 34 septims and a levelled sword in there

Fell asleep at my laptop last night midway through writing a blog post about image hashing. Didn't realise it was possible to fall asleep while partaking in such a high octane pastime

What Brighton SEO taught me about Corporate Technical SEO for Global Businesses: If you spend three days living on beers, Subway sandwiches and little coffees and then spend six hours on a train it will take your brain about 5 days to recover to the point where it can handle corporate technical SEO

Great news for Phishers everywhere

betamax is back - as a laser disc

Well I'm going to have to read this now

Tiny, stupid hill I am prepared to die on: we need a new term other than hallucination to describe when an LLM is just factually incorrect

Watching @charlesmeaden.bsky.social speak at Brighton SEO and resisting the urge to shout "YES!" roughly once every fifteen seconds
