☕️ I can drink coffee all day, also in the evening, and fall asleep without any problems (although my sleep quality might suffer).

🧉 But give me a cup of mate, and I’ll be wide awake until 3 am. 🪩🕺

Let’s just for a second – purely hypothetical, of course – suppose there was a podcast where some random guy talks to people from the web community about their personal websites and what they’re curious and passionate about.

Who would you love to see as a guest? 🤔

Aye up m'ducks! I had a funny Fathers Day this weekend... we were just about to head out for the afternoon, my son opened the door with my keys and in the flurry of stress that is trying to leave the house with 2 young kids, we shut

Spent time with Ellen before she had to go to NYC, went for a 162km ride, and rebuilt a carburetor. Solid ‘dad stuff’ work today.

Tag, you're it

Adrian Roselli tagged me in his Tag, you're it post in March, and it's taken me until now to do it. Why did you start blogging in the first place? I have no idea why I began blogging! It probably had something to do with having owned my own domain name since the late 90s but...

In 1997, Mary Schmich published a guide to life in the Chicago Tribune. In 1999, Baz Lurhmann turned it into a chillout anthem called Everybody's Free (To Wear Sunscreen).

It was, and remains, some of the best advice for life I've ever heard...

I have no clue how to play in a band, how to record and track, let alone mix a track. But I love music and I could listen forever to Rick Beato interviewing Eric Valentine about every little detail of his productions – this guy really knows and loves his stuff! Incredible! 😮 #music #audioengineering

“Head of Algorithms”

What a job title. 🧙✨😁

We've been turning out and I came across an old newspaper I own, dated 23 November 1963 - the day the UK headlines reported that JFK had been assassinated.

I came across it originally about 30 years ago underneath a pub carpet where it'd been used as underlay, presumably sometime in late 1963.

Also came across a leatherbound journal dated 1895, apparently written by one James Smith and dedicated to someone called Mabel.

It's full of quotes, poems, and excerpts from hymns including one by Charles Wesley.

I have no idea where it came from or who the owner might be. The handwriting is barely legible in places, though there is what I think is a piece of pink blotting paper still tucked in the back.

✨I wrote a MEGA blog for Aardman all about how we made 'Wallace & Gromit: Shot on iPhone', a commission from Apple last year that I had the great pride in directing. It's a multimedia extravaganza blog with words, images & videos taking you behind the scenes of how we made it: aard.mn/WGShotoniPhone
