Behind the counter in a coffee shop I visited last week there was a whiteboard which read [1]:
Sunday debate:
Custard creams or chocolate bourbons
There were dozens of tally marks on the board and counts from a social media poll. The results were:
Custard creams: 212Bourbons: 171
I love both biscuits, so if there were a both option I would have voted as such; if I had to pick one, it would be custard creams, though. Otherwise, I might have said fig rolls, a biscuit I had for the first time in ages this week. Fig rolls may not have been an option, but they sure are tasty.
[1]: Given I saw the whiteboard on a week day, I assume the debate was going to run for a week, despite the title being "Sunday debate". In any case, any day is a good day to chat about biscuits.

It was my birthday last month. It was low-key. I loved it. I went to the beach. Kite surfers were out in force this afternoon. For my birthday session. I got birthday wishes from AARP. That’s The American Association of Retired Persons. I am not retired. Nowhere close. I am working age still. I am...

It’s got all the contradictions that I love so much in artists I encountered once I hit my 30s and 40s. Here’s a song called Friends of Friends: Actually, it’s so good I’ll link to two versions. One...

I moved another page which I’d brought into WordPress out of WordPress. And so, the new Writing page, which will continue to be a sort of work in progress. I really want to provide a bit more context, add more dates, and some nice summaries. Maybe even word counts? New job is going well. I...
I made a public list of feeds for IndieWebCamp 2026 in Düsseldorf, taking place very soon on the weekend of April 25 and 26.
So far, I have put people on the list that are listed as participants on the Wiki page for the event:
So, if you like, you can use this list to see what everyone’s up to before, during, or after the event. You can just browse the list’s web page, or chuck its feed into any feed reader and follow along that way.
I’ll update the list whenever new people RSVP or show up at the event.

From a gmail address. Emphasis in original. I am pretty sure this would be violating the law and violating contractual agreements which might get made should an actual “job” get booked.
