All I can think of are the plastic Barrel of Monkeys monkeys that pop up in Toy Story. Looking for a picture I'd forgotten how antagonistic they are. Feels about right.

Ah man, Trevor van Meter's wonderful FlyGuy lives on, and is as beautifully benign as it always was. Enjoy some vintage Flash gaming from 2002, courtesy of @waybackmachine.bsky.social archive.org/details/flyg...

I have a little pegboard in the alcove around my desk at home, and the postcard version brings a bit of much needed colour. I love it :)

It feels self indulgent to compare the loss, but I can't put into words just how much I miss both of the people in this photo.

A cold and wet afternoon means only one thing: time to make a pot of tea, notch up the heating and - even though Ustinov arguably wasn't the best Poirot - give his best outing another watch.

I still have my iPod, tho struggling to believe that it's getting on for 24 years old now. I keep meaning to go back to using it, but that project took a backseat to restoring my PS2 - which made way for sorting the spare bedroom, so I look forward to maybe having it fixed up in time for its 30th 😅

I mean, I work in the industry and I'm excited and all but that's enough for now thanks.

Two films in a month is rare for me, let alone two in a weekend. Pivoted away from Antiques Roadshow to GoodFellas tonight. Hadn't seen it in a while and forget just how good it is (and also just how long it is).

Although I think we can all agree that Raiders of the Lost Ark is the best Indiana Jones movie I've gone in on Last Crusade which is somehow also the best Indiana Jones movie..? 🧐

These are nice enough I guess but just bring back the Office 2011 for Mac icons and be done with it, cowards.

Set myself the task of sorting and clearing the boxes of my amassed *stuff* in the spare bedroom this weekend. What I presume to be some form of undiagnosed ADHD meant that I didn't actually start until 3pm on Sunday 🙃

Tangent, but it makes me sad that as with the 6, the modern 8 doesn't lean more to just how distinctive the design and styling of its first generation was. Give me more this any day of the week.

This would've been a better one to think of but only with its lights in the down position as it was ugly as fuck with them popped up.

Of all of the places the thought of pop-up headlights could take me, why my first instinct was the opening titles from 90s Top Gear I can't explain. You don't see stick-on window mascots any more though, do you?

Upgraded my work MacBook Pro to MacOS Tahoe last night thinking it'd fix some of the compatibility issues I was getting with Sequoia.

Every time I come across this photo it completely stops me in my tracks. Crude oil supertanker Esso Hibernia under construction at Swan Hunter shipyard, Wallsend, during 1970. The scale and spectacle of this thing is incomprehensible. (📸 Harriet Berney)

Privileged to join guests at Darlington station in the small hours of this morning, to welcome a replica of Stephenson's Locomotion No. 1 as it joined the Darlington-liveried @lner.co.uk Azuma train before recreating its journey to Stockton just as the original had 200 years previously to the day 🙌
