The artist was here
I love the storytelling work that the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York does. For example, the Frame of Mind podcast highlights short stories of people’s relationships with museums – around fifteen minutes long each. It is a great listen.
Last year, I watched a video by...

New episode: the paradox of old-fashioned modern olive oil.
Some olive oil millers in Provence go out of their way to develop flavours that the EU calls “defects”. These oils can't be called extra-virgin, but they sell anyway.

The Threefold Personal KM Zine – Interdependent Thoughts
A weekend in Stockholm
This weekend, we went to Stockholm to visit our friend Mike and see Leftfield's first ever Swedish concert. Unfortunately we missed our flight which meant that we arrived much later than we expected and missed the gig altogether.
Saturday
Arriving late at the airport meant t...

Why I Like Working From Home
A friend was bemoaning the fact that he would shortly be forced to work only from home and replied thoughtfully to my challenge to blog his reasons: Why I Hate Working From Home. I have to say, most of Larry’s reasons resonated for me, because I generally love working from h...
🎬 PG: Psycho Goreman
Honestly, this was very entertaining. I was pretty tired, but this kept me awake, no problem. It's just so bizarre and funny. The daughter and her father are absolute comedy gold. And that policeman! The costumes are so good, too. I don't know, I had a great time and would most definitely watch it again.
👍 Recommended!
🎬 Edge of Honor
Plot is all over the place and there's quite a few scenes that make little sense. But yeah, for a trash-movie night, certainly not the worst flick. "Wait, how did they lift those enormous logs and … ?" "WHO CARES, ACTION, AHHHH…!". The finale is like Home Alone but in the woods and pretty entertaining.

Foragers and farmers: further thoughts on a debate with Tom Murphy | Chris Smaje
River
The verdant foliage on the steep hillside, the path that you know was made just for this place — the wooden planks delineating where to walk, the stairs up and down following the ebb and flow of the hill, the bridges that wove through the trees and over the edge of the river....

Another HWC Düsseldorf has taken place this week, where we shared what we’ve been up to with our personal sites. Nina continued to write more and more for her homepage as well as work on the code. She started adding music to her blog posts. Jochen continues to make selfhosted tools and recently added a (private) “Archive” site where he adds podcasts episodes to, and transcribes the audio into text. I recently added the latest Polaroid to my homepage.
We also talked about Kagi’s Small Web initiative, AI, how much personal information to share online, and easter eggs. Links mentioned:

Tinkering
I love making incremental improvements to my website. All the changes I make to this website build up to what you see. This has me thinking that websites are both a place to reflect on, discuss, and make change, as well as being something that can, and does, change over and w...
Saturday
When I woke up this morning, I knew I wanted to open the blinds early – to let the spring light in. The previous night, I had made sure the book I wanted to read was sitting by my bedside, ready for me in the morning. I enjoyed the soft yellow light shining through the room a...
Six hours in Heathrow
I had been looking forward to today for a couple of months now as we were flying to Stockholm in Sweden, to see Leftfield.
We left East Ham at 10am to get to Heathrow in time for our flight at 13:20. Once through security we went and got some food from Wagamama.
We finished ...
Crescent
I love watching the sun set, from golden hour to the moment when the last pink hues fade from the sky. Every moment is magical. As I write, there are bands of purple radiating behind the ripples of thin clouds on the horizon.
I periodically look out the window when the sky i...
🌸
When I loaded my website this morning – an hour or two after having woken up with great joy to rays of golden light radiating through the edges of the curtains – I noticed the cherry blossom emoji (🌸). It must be the first day of spring! I love moments like this when my websi...
