My plan for my last day in Lisbon was to walk around and explore this city, but it’s proper belting it down at the moment :(

Japanese listening bar:
- Great sound system
- Great music
- Patron’s sit quietly and enjoy

Westernised version:

- Great sound system
- Great music
- Patron’s ignore music and have a shouted conversation over it instead

Just had a lovely chat with Jake Kanpp and John Zeratsky for my new podcast, The Design VC, coming out as soon as I get round to editing the videos :)

I know i’m late to the party but The Penguin is bloody good.

A lot of people may avoid it thinkings it’s a silly super hero movie, but it’s not.

Instead it’s a super well acted, and super dark, crime boss drama.

Highly recommend.

Well ChatGPT agrees with this news story.

Sounds like corvid shaming to me.

I miss The Guardian Guide. Was the best thing about the weekend papers.

Just got a nice DM for a founder who enjoyed The Growth Equation.

Similarly it said that a cafe I liked was really a bakery.

For instance it claimed Jazz Spot Intro was a second floor vinyl listening bar rather than a basement live music bar.

Probably wouldn't have a career if it wasn't for that post and this one.

Adding Breadstall in Soho to my list of pizza places to try, based on this review by @jayrayner1.bsky.social

Although I would say that while The Pizza Bar on 38th is fine, PST (Pizza Studio Tamaki) is still my favourite pizza in Tokyo (if not the world).

Lovely day for a flight round Chichester harbour.

Which is why i’m running a 6-evening course this summer doing just that ;)

I can see that. The background does look a tad TARDISy as well.

With IA writer you write your presentation in text, using markdown, and it it breaks this down into slides for you. Essentially de-coupling the content and presentation. I LOVE this model.

There’s nothing worse (slight exaggeration) than conference tea made from hot water that was stored in a thermos flask that previously held coffee 🤮
