The problem with studying and lecturing around online communities is that you don’t only get to look at the nice ones.
I have learnt some stuff this morning that I wish I could unlearn…

On the road again
25 years ago, I worked near Oxford Street in London. One lunchtime, I popped into the HMV store there, and picked up a double cassette boxed set called Top Gear: On The Road Again. I wasn’t a Top Gear watcher then, as I’m not now. But it looked like a good album for killing the hours I was due to drive that weekend.
That album of Dad Rock became a driving staple for me for years, until somewhere along the line, I lost it. It’s never been made available via digital download or streaming as far as I can tell, so I thought that was it. Gone.
Of late, I’ve been enjoying driving again, thanks to my new-ish EV. And I got really nostalgic for that old compilation album. So, with a bit of research, and work in Apple Music, I have it back as a playlist:
Dad Rock driving ahoy!
Back in my favourite sneaky reading spot, after the summer break. Daughter learning piano, I’m on the beach drinking coffee and reading Coasting by Elise Downing. 📚
Weird.
I just realised that after singing “God save the Queen” every now and then my whole life, next time it’ll be “God save the King”.
And probably will be for the rest of my life.
Long live the King.
The outdoors rescue/location features of the Apple Watch Ultra and the iPhone 14 are an impressive idea that I didn’t expect. Let’s hope they work as advertised. #AppleEvent
This is a really good defence of RSS as the basis of podcasting.
If you’re involved with podcasting, you need to understand this. Without RSS, big companies can start locking up the medium.
This is a fantastic idea for getting more reading done.
