I am HERE for headline puns that combine Doctor Who and typography:
Easter walk at Woods Mill.
Medium introduces the blogroll.
Wait — have I somehow slipped back 20 years to 2001?
Up and at ‘em early this morning for a last pass on a really interesting research report I’m editing.
OK. This doesn’t feel like good news: Getty Images is acquiring Unsplash.
Spring really came to Shoreham-by-Sea, yesterday. I took advantage of the lockdown easing to have a bonus lunchtime walk.
M1 MBPro life:
“Right, I’ll just send this video over to Compressor to render out while I make a cup of coffee and …
“…oh, it’s done.”
Today seems to be a 5/10/15 years ago day:
- Medium pivots and seeks to reduce editorial staff? 2016!
- Should employed journalists have their own newsletters? Twitter accounts in 2011, blogs in 2006.
We’re trapped in some kind of eternal media hell loop.
This, from @colinwalker, is what so many people miss about blogging at its best:
There is no truly right way to blog but there is a best way, one that connects our words to those of others, that shares as much as it borrows such that we are all the richer for it.
A rare moment
Yesterday morning, I did something I’ve never had the chance to do in the last eight years: I lay in bed for a while and just looked out of the window. The girls had been into our room, and Iris had, rather cheekily, opened the curtains. They were back playing quietly in their own room, so there was no rush for us to be up. There was nowhere we needed to (virtually) be. Nothing was pressing.
So, I lay there while my wife dozed, and watched seagulls soar in the thermals above the buildings around.
And it was good.
It’s World Osprey Week, as European ospreys start returning to their nests for the breeding season.
Now, can I post to micro.blog from Ulysses OK?
A digest of nature-centric reading (and viewing) to round out your weekend.
