agreed - I used to buy the Grauniad every day in the 80s/90s. But nowadays it's so far removed from my life, it might as well be in orbit.
I don't always remember to post my street art stuff on here, but I quite like how my Laika piece turned out.
She sold for a good cause too, which is cool, I didn't think anyone would be able to fit an 8 ft tall painting in their house, but in the end 3 people had a little bidding war! :)
I'm going in a couple of weeks when the tour gets to Bristol. Also excited, it was my favourite musical as a kid, especially Tevye's scary ass dream!
exactly! data detective work is fun :)

There are tools that can do basic reporting, tools that can build ok (but not great) models, and tools that can help with coding - but none that I've yet found that can do the proper legwork that makes up the majority of the job
also a data analyst - also voted #2.

The main issue I'm seeing at the moment is that clients are expecting that we quote quicker turnarounds/cheaper prices as they think we should be cutting corners with gen AI - even though, as yet, it can't come close to doing what we do - not accurately anyway

post that women our age weren't raised to say that we are proud of our work / what we do (I'm doing her a slight disservice as she is 2 years younger than me)

But she's right, we should be able to.

Here's some recent work I'm proud of:
not sure why those pics went on a separate post - never mind - I'm better with a paint brush than with social media, clearly :D

This is extraordinary. To cut the ribbon at the opening of the National Air and Space Museum in Washington DC in 1976, they got the Viking spacecraft, then orbiting Mars, to send a signal to the arm from the engineering model of the Viking lander. And poof! It burnt through the ribbon.

To be fair, he did warn us all that we were never going to survive unless we get a little crazy.
You've just listed 4 of my favourite shows of all time, one I've never got around to but keep meaning to, and 2 I've never heard of. I'd better check out the 2!
You'd hope. Huh?

Labour have a lot of work to do before the next general election to turn this ship around. I think, and hope, that it's possible, but not if they keep insisting on hurtling full steam towards the iceberg.
Thank you, my favourite hoopy frood:)
Thank you, all done in 6 hours so I had to go all out. Pleased with how it ended up though.
Oh no, not again!

I had fun painting this today at Norton College in Worcester, I'm hoping it will encourage some of the kids to give the books a read :)

I used to have a proper antique one, but my oldest son "borrowed" it from me years ago and has no intention of ever giving it back, it seems. This new one was a gift to me from his girlfriend, so presumably he told her about the first one.
One of my birthday presents this year was this cool phrenology head. I've called him Dom because he kind of reminds me of Dominic Cummings :D
Not belated. My birthday is today :) I just did my big day out a day early because I wanted to hit a matinée and they don't do them on Sundays.
Highlights from my birthday trip to London town yesterday

That's a huge amount. You guys have made such a difference, and kept memories alive of your super cool dad.
