Green is clearly “in” for the charity shoppers of Market Deeping…

Three mannequins display green dresses and garments, with a variety of styles including long-sleeved, wrap, and sleeveless, accompanied by a hat.

Lovely view from the room where I’m running a couple of client workshops today.

A sunny outdoor area features picnic tables, a tree providing shade, and a grassy lawn next to a building.

Possibly the most disastrous thing about the rise of AI is the way it’s leading tech companies to abandon their net zero goals. Google appears to be the latest.

AI ain’t going to do us much good if our planet is no longer habitable for humans.

We had a sparrowhawk in our back garden. Looks like a young-ish female…

Trying a new coffee shop / restaurant just up the road from City St George’s.

A cup of coffee sits on a table in a modern cafe with a person descending a staircase in the background.

Last coffee on camp. Feels very much like both the summer holidays and summer itself are done.

A hand is holding a stainless steel mug in front of a tent outdoors.

Such an amiable chap, for a green man.

A green, carved face resembling a bearded man with a long nose is surrounded by colorful mosaic tiles and cobwebs.

Love, half a century old.

I wonder if the feelings lasted as long as the carving.

Carvings including initials and a date from 1975 are etched into a tree trunk in a wooded area.

A little campfire cooking.

Skewered meat is being grilled in a blue pan over an open flame, accompanied by slices of flatbread.

Typepad RIP

Wow. Typepad is shutting down after 22 years. And they’re giving a whole month’s notice.

I remember, back when I was managing a corporate relationship with Six Apart, when they started telling us that they thought Typepad would be a better match for our blog publishing needs (we had a very large Movable Type installation, running dozens of successful business blogs.).

It really wasn’t. When I left, they were starting to project plan a move to WordPress.

I wonder what will happen to the blogs.com domain they own?
