In a Muse, Citizen Erased, kind of mood today.

(Which is, incidentally, their best song. I'm not taking questions at this time.)

The fantastic song Citizen Erased by Muse, from the album Origin of Symmetry. I claim ownership of nothing shown in this video.

England. Football final. Won on penalties. I didn't realise this could happen… superb!

Somewhere right now, there's an electrician working on the wiring for a new hotel contract, thinking "let's put the bathroom light switch behind this freestanding corner lamp."

Think of the environment they said. Take the train to London they said. Now half my train home has been cancelled so I'm stood in a carriage with no AC for an hour, packed in like sardines. SWR, you suck.

Watched the F1 movie last night. As a long-time F1 fan I was sceptical going in, and left pleasantly surprised! It's a fun movie.

Very definitely has that Jerry Bruckheimer feel to it; some of Pitt's lines while driving felt like they were lifted from Viper in Top Gun. Needed more Kenny Loggins.

On my way into London today for an FSI event, to chat with customers and partners about AWS Mainframe Modernisation ✨

I bought some knock-off brand hand sanitizer sprays on Amazon; they seem identical to the brand I saw that's US-only, but they've changed the fragrance names.

I feel like they could have done better…

Walking around London today makes me reaffirm that I was born to be a New Yorker.

Sad to read about @glitch.com closing its doors soon, but happy to see that the team continues to progress and drive towards building a better web. As the proverb goes, in the winds of change, some build walls, while others build windmills. @anildash.com and team are, as ever, building windmills. 🚀

Pub dogs are good dogs.

I'm not always the biggest fan of Max Verstappen; I think he pushes the rules too much, like Senna and Schumacher did before him.

But my god is he a brilliant driver. Imola first corner overtake this past weekend: just utterly magical.

Vibe coding is just rubber duck debugging with style.

Lovely day today, not too hot, not too cold. All I need is a light jacket.

"Don't conflate good decisions and bad outcomes. They're not explicitly intertwined. That is, you can make a great decision (based on data, information, desired outcome) and yet still "fail" and thats OK. Don't be manic about outcomes, focus on decision-making processes"
