Slowly rebuilding my favourite bit of my twitter profile here, to make me feel more at home.
These are pictures I took and like having pinned to my profile.

TIL about The Rock appearance in Star Trek Voyager
I somehow managed to go watch Reservoir Dogs with absolutely no idea of what the movie was about or even who Tarrantino was.
The ear truly came as a surprise 😱

Raising the always fun question: What are your most memorable theater-going experiences?
Mine also include The Matrix, Blair Witch, and being way too stoned in Belgium when Fellowship of the Ring was sold out so we sat in the back row for Mulholland Drive instead.

It was hands-down one of the most memorable theater-going experiences I can remember, a collective 30-minute butt-clench/armrest-grab for the final climb. And we knew he lived! Wild.

What was the attraction? He doesn't have a nive voice, the song is terrible, the backing band is naff ..,

really good book that - definitely recommend
What’s that, you say?
You want to know which debut legal thriller has been named an Apple Best Audiobook of 2025?
Narrated by an incredible cast including the almighty Toby Jones?
And you want to know where you can get it?
Man, those are some good questions.

omg so it turns out that whilst I was losing my mind in December 2020 I put line breaks in Matt Hancock's Chester Zoo riff and submitted it to a poetry magazine so although the video has gone forever the transcript has been miraculously preserved

I'm afraid I've now reach that point of #AdventOfCode (day 10 of 12) where I read the challenge, shrug and immediately close my IDE.
No way José, I simply don't have that many brain cells to spare.
I'll just go back to day 8 and try to complete part 2 🤷🏼♂️

Had a weird dream (I think it was a dream) of some sort of comedy panel TV show featuring Sam Altman, Bill Gate and 2-3 other tech geniuses being put to shame by Joe Public quizzers.
Can't remember them but there were a lot of excruciating puns...
No idea why, just fresh in my mind as I wake up.
