I turned 50 in September and had a lot on, so sadly, I couldn't make any of the @suedehq.bsky.social signings or South Bank takeover gigs. Listening along to this podcast is the next best thing... great cure for the FOMO!
New episode!

The Southbank Takeover takes over our podcast! Those Q and As, those performances and *those* setlists!

Historical pic of the Hayling Billy, the train that used to run from Havant to Hayling Island. The trainline is now the Billy track country walkway, and the goods shed at the Hayling end is now the Station Theatre, where you can sometimes see me acting.

The second album of Simple Minds' imperial phase, Once Upon A Time, just got an anniversary re-release. And they've quietly added their huge standalone single Don't You Forget About Me to the middle of the album - right next to Alive And Kicking. 🫶

Happy New Year!

Seeing legendary Doctor Who actor Tom Baker get a much-deserved MBE in the New Year Honours is a great way to kick off 2025.

TBH, I do start to feel like the villagers in the boy who cried wolf...
Core updates are now just background noise.

Their frequency and opaqueness, especially when updates overlap and/or manual actions are handed out en masse, makes it impossible to draw meaningful conclusions from any one update.

As an industry, we need to stop giving this so much attention.

Honestly impressed:

Uploaded the ridiculous UPS tracking info for a package wandering the country, and with a single prompt, #ChatGPT created a fully accurate + functional HTML map with OpenStreetMap

Think about how AI can help content creation

Oh, and looks like I should get that package today.

Adding GA4 tracking for AI sources often shows some traffic, even for small websites. Not huge traffic... but it is there.

So "williwaw" is one I actually knew, thanks to it being the title of Gore Vidal's first novel... an amazing debut and profoundly dark study of human nature.
Word of the morning is ‘williwaw’ (19th century): a sudden violent squall or a toppling gust of wind.

Goes well with ‘thunderplump’: a sudden downpour that soaks you to the skin in seconds.

Once read a book where it said ancient tribes got more calories from catching lots of little fish than they did from hunting apex predators. Similar thing...
