For all the creepy, invasive tracking ad companies do, they still can’t figure out that sending me a load of “treat your mother this Mother’s Day” offers is a painful waste of time.
She’s been dead for nearly 10 years.
The Adur, 6.45am
I was early enough out of the house this morning that I had time to pause on the Adur Ferry Bridge and grab some images.
It’s nice to be doing that walk in the early dawn light, rather than in the dark. Spring will be here soon…
I have got the insane number of tabs i had open across five device down to under 20, and everything else either acted on, blogged about of filed away in Instapaper or Pocket. Good work, me.

Seven years ago publishers were dying because they trusted Google for all their traffic. Now the same is happening with Facebook.
Another warning about the ease with which moral certainty can lead to us to slip into stereotyping in our reporting.
Listening to Oasis’s Wonderwall always reminds me of commuting by bus to Croydon to work on Hotel & Restaurant mag on the very early days of my career. I didn’t have any sense yet of how digital was about to upend everything.
Wikipedia is a bit like a sausage: the more you look at how it is made, the less appetising you find it.

Listening to a 2003 playlist on Apple Music. This was the music of the year I started my blog.
