Old Toys

I’m slightly concerned that I appear to have grown up in the last few years. Despite the exciting and shiny new iPad Pros released last week, I’m still more than happy with my 2 plus year old iPad Pro 9.7. It does everything I need it to. And my MacBook Pro is around five years old, and I’m not planning on replacing that either. What has happened to me? I used to be a “twitchy after two years” guy.

MediaGazer is really good at inflating my ego in a really unearned way, by putting me in some amazing company:

Facebook is donating £4.5 million to fund 80 local newspaper jobs across the UK over the next two years, subsidizing the cost of trainee reporters.

Just cleaned the en suite toilet so yes, obviously, I’m procrastinating.

Here’s a horrible insight into how digital tools and age-old psychology can turn satire into conspiracy theories. This is why the “fake news" of misinformation and disinformation is going to be so very hard to combat.

Touching. I feel very special…
