Not mine, but an old friend didn't last his first shift after telling his boss that his McMop was McFucked. It still gives me such happiness.

Some of the family is watching Silo and as I wandered in Peter Gabriel appeared on screen. I'm now drawn in, hoping that Thotch will appear next.

I am currently at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival doing my new show JUPITER. It is a story about a time when I was an estate agent on the planet Jupiter. It is on at 1pm every day until August 30th. Thanks to anyone who has been. Here is my flyer.

I saw @robauton.bsky.social in a preview of his new show Jupiter today. Proper funny and a thing of real beauty, it's a love story to wonder and seeing things as others see them.

Opatija had been gearing up for the big match all day - I'm being very proactively Scottish, though the barman was questioning my choice of white wine.

I'm very pleased to say that Soundscape on Android launched today. We had a great chat with Double Tap about it which you can watch here youtu.be/VtC-BJOlCNA From a tech point of view @protomaps.com is absolutely key and nothing would be possible without @openstreetmap.bsky.social data.

The prophecy in Macbeth suggests that Stirling and Strathallan will be the seat of the next Labour leader. Starmer shall not be vanquished until Burnham would come to Dunsinane.

A tense half time

About 20 years ago I wrote a quick clock widget for our new BrightSign digital signage players. Mostly I worked on video and audio software, but having a clock was better than not having a clock. Most users moved on to HTML clocks, but everyone working on Match of the Day still watches it weekly!

Very proud of my friend @naomialderman.bsky.social who has followed the release of a brilliant and timely book with this brilliant and culturally very significant move observer.co.uk/the-critics/...

I've just spent a great couple of days at the OSM State of the Map Europe conference in sunny Dundee #sotmeu2025. It was my first SOTM and was so very, very good. Brilliantly well run with lots of fun extras which all amplified the feeling of community. So much generosity on display.

Petition for more counterexamples to plausible mathematical conjectures to contain the word "Nope". This is very cool in other ways too ofc. www.quantamagazine.org/first-shape-...

Scotland at its finest. I've seen more palm trees today than probably on any other holiday.

Worthh waiting for the brilliant helicopter at the end!

@manmademoon.bsky.social Saw these guys this weekend and the butteries t-shirt made me think of you. doric.studio

My folks are in to Aberdeen to see the tall ships today, and I hadn't realised that the Malcolm Miller was there - www.tallshipsaberdeen.com/news-hub/mal... I was lucky enough to sail on it when I was 17, from Portsmouth to Lorient, the Scilly Islands and Barry Island. Gail force 7 in the channel...

Is someone at the met office trying to send a message?

I'd like to give a big thanks to @protomaps.com for their fantastic work. Our open source Android port of Soundscape, the navigation and exploration app for visually impaired uses a protomaps server and it's reduced the cost to the supporting charities by a huge amount. github.com/Scottish-Tec...

This is really great: www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

All the religions in Glasgow today

Me in The New Statesman today on poverty. Please share :)

Shack at St. Luke's was a dream gig. Gerard Love was unparalleled support, and then Shack were spine tingling and bone shaking in equal measure, magic!

We saw an unusual rainbow today - looked more like daytime northern lights than a rainbow!

Watching Paul Simon on BBC2 and Toots Thielemans who's playing harmonica is the spitting image of Jim from Friday Night Dinner.

Another fascinating evening at #geomobEDI yesterday. Someone showed me this in the pub afterwards waterwaymap.org It's really rather beautiful.

I'm giving a short talk about the Soundscape Android app which is a navigation and exploration aid for people with visual impairment. Geomob always has interesting talks, so if mine doesn't float your boat another will be along in a few minutes! Sign up at thegeomob.com/post/mar-28t... #geomobEDI

This is a brilliant story about an instantly recognizable fint.

@hamishhawk.bsky.social was one of many musical highlights in Glasgow tonight. The non-musical highlight was the person behind me asking if I was his dad 😂 Very flattering, but I'm concerned that I'm balding faster than I realised...
