Jonas VossHappy New Year Calum! That’s a good review. Focusing on friends, family and health is a good antidote to the B-word for now.
Excited to hear there’s a IWC London in the works!
Jonas VossThanks! I had a play with underscores for WordPress and tailwindcss. Planning to put a quick blog post together on how to do it.
I finished the book Autonomous by Annalee Newitz a couple of weeks back.
It was pretty good. Fun and easy to read and keeps you turning the pages. Interesting themes of free culture, here focused on open sourcing / reverse engineering pharmaceuticals. And the lengths to which those in control of intellectual property rights will go to enforce them.
Interesting side story of human / robot romance and gender identity.
It isn’t about choosing the perfect images for my walls, it’s about choosing a few good-enough ones that speak to me at this moment in time.
I think this is really true – the perfect is the enemy of the good, as they say. I think knowing something can be ephemeral, or improved upon, removes the friction of acting. I’m finding this with writing in my blog/wiki.
I feel we also have an obligation to re-use. The best way to keep things from humanity’s pool of cultural artefacts and knowledge available is by re-using and remixing them. What gets used keeps meaning and value, will not be forgotten.
I’m also enjoying this as a way of stimulating thoughts and writing too – by quoting and reusing parts of other people’s posts as a jumping off point.
this is my jam for xmas 2019. a lot easier to dance to than the queen’s christmas message.

This episode of Rev Left Radio sums up most of my views around the recent election pretty well: on Corbyn, the media, Brexit, limits of our electoral system, where to focus for these next five years.
