    Denim Pen Wrap, 16 Years Later
    I’ve been using my denim pen wrap a bunch lately and thought I’d share some pictures. I made this wrap back in 2008 and it has had a lot of use in the past 16 years. I used to make a lot of denim objects like this when I was a tailor at Self Edge. My denim wallets still get a lot of use too. The post Denim Pen Wrap, …

    Week 99: Okay reviews
    Just busy, mostly. The house has just about recovered from various illnesses. Obviously with R’s birthday on the horizon we’re expecting a delicious cocktail of coughs and colds for the start of the festive season. Got a game of the new edition of Underworlds in. Much smoother, a teeny bit less character to each warband, still lovely opponents. Did a turn at the Public Digital networking event. It’s been ages …

    Sweatless in the poolside sun
    (There will be mentions — in vernacular but not actually vulgar terms — of male-male sexual practices that some will find icky, so this posting will not be to everyone’s taste; and it might stretch some kids’ horizons a bit, so a gentle warning) From back on 10/30, e-mail from Gadi Niram, with a video gift for me, saying: I found this video (and the young man in it) to …

    w/e 2024-11-24
    One of the big current admin tasks is informing organisations that my Dad has passed away. I started on the utilities this week, calling BT to let them know, and to have the name on the account changed to my Mum’s name. (They do have an online form but it’s ambiguous in places.) That seemed to go OK. But then it was apparent the broadband at the house had stopped …

    Harry Mulisch’s The Discovery of Heaven
    Harry Mulisch, one of the most significant figures in Dutch literature, recently came to my attention through Michael Orthofer’s Complete Review. Described there as “unquestionably among the leading authors of the second half of the twentieth century,” his work was entirely new to me. His personal history—a Jewish mother and an Austrian father with ties to the Nazi regime—infuses The Discovery of Heaven with a profound engagement with post-war history …

    Week 325: Exactitude
    I need an exactitude on the Ganni beanie athleisure mums. Beachy blonde hair. Sweaty betty. Puffer jacket. Dog with a bit of poodle DNA in it. I’ve joined Bluesky but I have nothing to say 🤷🏻. I told Chaz I don’t have a sense of smell and he suggested that maybe it just isn’t alive yet? Went to see Sam and Lizzy this weekend and spent 24h being fed and …

    The weather has gone from freezing us to blowing us away. It’s been super windy and wet here in London all weekend.

    Talking with people in the eternal hallway
    I went to a sort of unconference, though I’m not sure what its formal categorization is if any. Back in the day when there were like 6 unconferences a week, open spaces, BarCamps, and so on in the Bay Area alone, it was semi hilarious to me to see the internecine battles over exactly what could and couldn’t be called “open” space. You can probably still find it somewhere, if …

    On Music Tabs
    I love music. I love playing music. I love making musical instruments and music software. I don’t have formal musical training. I’ve never taken lessons, and honestly, I’m a pretty bad musician. What I do excel at, though, is hoarding musical instruments. At this point, name any instrument, and there’s a decent chance I have it somewhere in my room. Some of these instruments never played anything better than “Twinkle, …

    Ten Blue Links “I’m late, I’m late, for a very important date” Edition
    1. Who rules us? Google changed its rules on what kind of behaviour it regards as “spam” and, of course, the impact on some companies will be pretty negative. The behaviour it is targeting is so-called “parasite SEO”, where a publisher allows a third party to create content for part of its website in return for a large amount of money. Typically, this might be a subdomain or subsection which …
