Really liked both of these sites. Some great photos on there.

https://ho.dges.online I use it as a digital scrapbook of pictures, projects etc rather than a blog. I clicked on a random sample of the links posted here and really enjoyed seeing…

Working on restoring my late father-in-law's Lambretta scooter that he bought new in 1958 and rode all over Europe with my MIL before storing it away in a garage in the mid-60s. Fr…

Sad news. '4 3 2 1' is one of my favourite novels with its variations on a theme of a single person's life. The same character's showing up in each thread but in totally different …

Thank you for sharing this. I have nothing but admiration for your resolve to turn your previous experience into a superpower.

Thanks for sharing. I enjoyed (and agree with) the 'Photography In Plato's Cave' post.

Love this. The colour Seoul series is my favourite, but all of the pictures are really interesting and engaging.

https://ho.dges.online Only pictures I made and commonplace book posts. I've tried long-form blogs in the past and just couldn't find a groove that was interesting enough (to me) t…

Go to an art gallery and look at the art. See what you find beautiful, see what you find boring and see what you dislike. Don’t worry about understanding its deeper meaning - just …

IMO, art may have those characteristics - good art will often obviously have >1 of those. Art in its most basic form is anything that engages you beyond a strictly functional level…

“You will become way less concerned with what other people think of you when you realise how seldom they actually do.” David Foster Wallace, Infinite Jest.

I love ‘In Our Time’ - it strikes a really good balance between being academic and accessible. The range of topics is so broad too that you find yourself learning about things you …

Very cool. I like that the interface is super simple and it seems to do what it claims to do, both with objects and OCR. It might help to have an explanation somewhere in the app t…

But all sports are bizarre if you boil them down in this way. They all rely on arbitrary limitation of participants or equipment to prevent them descending into a total free-for-al…

Agree with this but I would also ask the auditor to be very specific about the risk that she believes your organisation is exposed to. If its a specific concern about the suitabili…

Have you tried taking control of his perception of your working day? I've had bosses in the past where the only way to manage them and their expectations was to maintain a narrativ…

Its a noble sentiment but i think it does risk creeping out the people the who did download it which would rather defeat the object of the exercise. Why not include a "Thanks to ev…

This is assuming that once it's all about glass there isn't anywhere to go... Agreed. Apple has a patent on multi-touch in three dimensions already[1] so maybe the next i-device wi…

horses-for-courses i suppose - i find that i quite like everything gathered into the Instapaper 'magazine' just because it tends to gather up that week's articles. Perhaps i just n…

The instapaper workflow mentioned in the article is awesome. Instapaper will send articles daily or weekly (to suit your reading habits/desire to avoid the download charge) and the…

I'd previously assumed that we just had lazy cleaning staff at the office. now I realise...:-)

This can apply up the chain of command as well as down: managing expectations, working within the limitations of an individual's world-view and dealing with the tantrums are all ar…

This. My experience with non-geeky friends is that they check facebook for messages and interact with friend/family through comments and wall-posts. Some of them get email notifica…

Oh. Yes, that would seem blindingly obvious wouldn't it? OK, I'm an idiot (in my defense, i've been awake since before 4am this morning. Be gentle with me). Isn't technology wonder…
