Watching last week’s Countryfile has me thinking about drones again. There’s some fantastic drone-driven storytelling shots, rather than the normal eye-candy.
I know I should move on from being annoyed when people use “blog" when they mean “blog post”.
But I’m finding it really, really hard.
Gosh. Gee whizz. What a surprise.
This is a fascinating story of how and why aerosol spread of COVID-19 was discounted for far too long — and the decades-old misunderstanding turned dogma that caused it.
There is not enough side-eye in the world for this: Google revives RSS.
Google, some of us remember Google Reader.
And we have not forgotten. And we have not forgiven.

This was the very first piece I wrote in my self-employed life, back in 2012: What is post digital?
In classic style, it was about 10 years too early…
This is a good read (ha,ha) in light of @manton’s new trial bookshelf feature here: Why I’m deleting GoodReads and maybe you should too.
I’d be happy to shift across, as the feature matures. Sadly the GoodReads import crapped out for me after three books.
Nature really doesn’t understand the rules of storytelling…
This week I have more good old-fashioned phone calls than Zoom or Teams meetings.
It’s such a relief.
I think I’ve found a way to articulate the discomfort I’m feeling in my work:
- I’m passionate about journalists, who are generally a good, passionate bunch
- I’m less passionate about the journalism industry, and the serious number of structural issues it’s unwilling to address.
For creativity to thrive, digital needs to learn its place…
