Fog is making the Adur impressionistic today.

I have a Brydge keyboard for my trusty old 9.7 inch iPad Pro and I suddenly have my perfect on-the-go device.

Some useful thoughts on the appeal of newsletters — and the appropriate tone for writing them.

Why blogs still matter even in the resurgent newsletter age.

Lessons from 1000 editions of a links newsletter.

It’s all about the basics.

The rest of the “information wants to be free” quote (because I’m annoyed at how often people quote it in a way that makes it clear that they don’t know there’s more to it…)

I call this piece “the entitlement of SEO spammers”. 🖼

Winchester does ruins magnificently.

Coffee Break

Edgcumbes Coffee Roasters & Tea Blenders.

A coffee break in a great wee coffee place on the outskirts of Arundel. There’s some great coffee in Sussex.

This is not at all disconcerting.

Beautiful sky over Winchester this evening.

Lessons from two months of #2minutebeachclean

For the last couple of months, my daughters and I have been doing a #2minutebeachclean pretty much every Sunday - concentrating on the same small patch of the beach.

While it’s been delightful spending the time by the sea, playing with the girls, and watching them become more aware of their environment, the sheer volume of plastics we’re pulling out of that small patch of the beach is depressing.

It’s been a case of not really realising the depth of a problem until you stare it in the face — and it’s making me think about all the purchasing decisions I make, but also what else we can do as a family to help turn this around.

What have we done?

I know all the hip joints!

Still can’t quite believe that I turned down the chance to work on this beauty - but it was the right decision at that time of my life.

The Zuckerberg Obfuscation

Dangerous shop.

Wow, Blogger really is being neglected isn’t it? The last substantive update I can find is from nearly a year ago - and it’s mainly about removing features. Even Movable Type has had a major new version since then.

Productivity in the home office this morning: could be better.

First signs of spring. (Which means it’ll be snowing within the month…)
