Just for the hell of it, here’s my dog Murdo on his favourite beach, ears flying in the wind.

Been talking about the future of content design with @niacampbell.bsky.social and @adrianortega.bsky.social…

I used the analogy that we’re waiting for our ‘The Strokes’ moment that happened at the end of the 90s, when they came in and blew up the indie music scene.

Shout out to @niacampbell.bsky.social for sharing this thread with me.

@dandoescontent.bsky.social = spot on.

Do you think that the discipline of content design has evolved beyond it's formative roots? Do you think it is evolving at the required rate? Faster or slower than other UX disciplines?

Watching Alanis Morissette sing thank you from Glasto and for some reason we’re both crying.

Do you ever wish that you could hear a song for the first time again?

Currently sitting in a cafe and Dreams by Fleetwood Mac is playing, I love it, but equally I’ve heard it too many times….and it makes me a wee bit sad to be a little bored of it!

Had the pleasure of doing a talk with @calvinlau.bsky.social for #ContentClub earlier this week.

We talked about spreading content design skills across our team, to enable Calvin to focus on the areas where his expertise can deliver the most value.

I’ve forgot how much I bloody love Edinburgh Mornings. You get a glimpse of the city before it becomes a tourist hellhole.

Things I'm enjoying today:

Siri getting activated every time my colleague says "series" in a meeting.

Beard comparisons between @tomyoull.bsky.social, @adrianortega.bsky.social and @imhuyorks.bsky.social 🧙‍♂️

This handsome barn owl that appeared as my desktop background:

I shared your Leading interview with Kate Raworth with a pal asking about Doughnut Economics, and thought isn’t it about time you had her (or someone who shares her approach) back on, to discuss the last 2 years? @alastaircampbell2.bsky.social @therestpolitics.bsky.social
