Wondered what was wrong with #AppleMusic this morning. There's some new song-transition feature where it tries to auto-DJ between music no matter the genre. Terrible implementation of a bad idea. Glad I can turn that off. #apple #notafeature #stopinterfering

Val Kilmer rocked so many awesome roles. I'm disappointed in media headlines only mentioning stuff like Batman Forever or Top Gun. If you haven't seen Top Secret, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang or Tombstone please educate yourself on the greatness of Val! RIP

I don't want to jinx it but I'm about to sign a lease on a new studio workspace for Gecko! Its taken far too long to get the lease together but we're almost done! 2025 is going to be awesome!

I find this stuff fascinating. Sourcing samples that made your favourite electronic music from the 90’s and beyond. Some seem barely to qualify as samples, when is it instead more of a remix or cover of the original song? youtu.be/FpaoCUEhZJM?...

I’ve been late in getting the chance to play Half Life Alyx but holy hell it deserves all the praise it gets. Sadly it’s still one of a kind. Will we ever see another VR game this well designed? #VR #half-life

Moment of silence for my family’s small flock of chickens killed last night by the local fox. 1 survivor, we’ve named her Ripley.

I’ve been meeting some amazing folks at the Blender Conference in Amsterdam including a couple of old Pixar alumni from the Toy Story days.

Looking at a lease for a new office space and hiring actual humans to fill it! Exciting times! Going to be more active on here. At least trying to be.

Got so much to do today I'm mainlining Mick Gordon's music directly into my veins. Right Trigger Warning is such a banger!

Isobel loves scribbling on post-its and sticking them to the side of her bed. Her room looks like some mad detective’s pinboard.

It’s taken 2 years since I picked up Tennis again but it’s finally clicked and I’m kicking ass like it felt when I was 19. Best thing I’ve done in ages getting back into the game.

Sad about Matt Perry. Friends was so huge for my generation especially here in the UK. Whole Nine Yards and Studio 60 both were unappreciated. RIP
