Blurry walnut
I have thoughts on purposeful thought-leaders. Also I try another AI-generated story and it isn’t good, so instead we look at faces.
And now, the news
I go radio gaga, remembering Chris Moyles at BBC Radio 1, and my time in student radio.
A hug, please
Today is a bit of a low-ebb day, so if you have a spare hug lying around, it wouldn’t go to waste over here. All’s well though, and we embark in a nice long calming me...
Smartphones making us smarter
I talk about an annoying and unnecessary bus trip, and read some positive news stories.
The Legend of My Uncle Ben
I read a tall tale from Reddit, about a yeti (I don’t think they know what a yeti is).
I love you and I want revenge
I read a couple of stories generated by artificial intelligence.
It’s just a jump to the left
I go all round the houses and somehow end up talking about the Rocky Horror Picture Show.
Spouse
I bring a lower, slower energy than yesterday, and go off on a noodle around the word “spouse”.
Standup energy
This is the one where I stand up, and have a revelation that gets me all excited.
Training for the zombie apocalypse: day 1
I talk about a new little podcast toy I’m building on a whim, describe my first day of zombie survival training, and recount a minor tantrum.
Liminality
I get into some productivity and describe my plan to train for the zombie apocalypse.
That’s livin’ alright
I describe a long-held fantasy. Oh, and there’s also an update on the cats’ feeder situation. Riveting stuff.
Scratch your own itch
I reminisce about projects past, and consider how our best creative work often derives from a need within us. It's a longer one today, so buckle up!
There’s an app for that
I try and figure out the name for the concept of universal love and safety, and also talk about apps.
Wad the tuna
I talk about safety, recount an episode of an Apple TV+ show, and attempt decode a confusing text message.
Gene Keys
I talk about tomorrow being a clean slate, fear of missing out, and being good company for yourself. In the second half, I examine my Gene Keys, and interrogate my own...
Anticode
I og off on one about the nocode movement and people who use iPads instead of computers to make a point. I introduce the Mark Steadman Drinking Game (don’t play this, ...
Egg muffins
I describe my weird muffin experiment, ask your opinion about making some knowledg eaccessible for free, and wax nostalgic over a past project.
Another day, another dime, another rhyme, another dollar
I distract myself a lot, talking about the Dean from Community, and things I want to do with Notion.
Glowingly unsolicited
I try and remain out of the heat, share some warm-feeling feedback, and give a project the cold shoulder.
Another World
I get all nonstalgic about computers and video games, and try and keep out of the heat.
Wounds
Today we get into the emotional weeds a little more than usual. If you’re not up for exploring how judgement affects the traumas we share… then feel free to skip this ...
Atonement
I get spidey-senses round my cats’ feeders, and think about atoning for the smaller balls that get dropped when juggling the bigger balls of work, life, and everything...
“I don’t go to church religiously"
We kick off with a reading of some spam, I tell a shaggy dog story about my large cat, and Brendan rejoins the conversation to talk about devotion to self-care.
Commitment and discipline
Today I play a few rounds of Absurd Trolley Problems, complain about a parking space I don’t use, and wax on about commitment, discipline, and routine. Oh yeah, it’s a...
Flow
As today marks another – more significant – resignation from no10, I have a chat about flow states, and read a lovely and thoughtful card from a fellow Keeper.
Watching a closed front door
I bring you a special report from outside Downing Street (not really), we learn that my dad listens – or at least listened – to the hsow, and we have a chat about risk...
What do we think of “wickies”?
We have a bumper bag of feedback from friend of the show – and of myself – Brendan, plus a random assortment of thoughts on what it means to be seen.
Outsize bugbears
You find me having broadband issues today. Plus I’d like your advice on how we can solve iOS device autocorrect, because I reckon together we can do it.
Pyjama admin day
Today I take a quick peek behind the curtain, dissect my Wordle defeat, wax lyrical about the IndieWeb of old, describe a couple of Shortcuts I’ve built, and offer som...
