There’s not a day goes past that I don’t miss Tony Bourdain, great man, great friend, great writer. Nothing can make up for the loss of him, of course, but it’s wonderful to hear his voice live from the page in the compellingly brilliant Anthony Bourdain Reader edited by Kim Witherspoon.

Attended an event at the offices of a large software provider.
People struggled with live demos of their ‘market leading tool’ as it was too unreliable.
Said tool will likely cost the taxpayer billions of pounds per annum.

Jane Goodall was my first childhood hero, as I loved animals as a kid and was inspired by her story. I still remember the National Geographic specials about her. RIP.
