Amazon was thought it was cute to call their webservices "the mechanical Turk" after the fraudulent chess-playing robot with a person inside.
But these revelations about Waymo, and also Amazon shops... the fact they they hide and must be forced to admit "what we claimed was software is just […]

Tapes sold out very quick. There's talk of a repress. Let me know if you might be interested and I'll save you a copy!

Long Term Projects
Some projects run for a long time. Mechanical Techno has definitely been the one I've worked on most since beginning it back in 2014 (here's a timeline). I've been collecting found objects most of my life (as discussed in the last post), though I didn't really think of it as […]

Collecting a whole deck of cards (by finding them on the street)
Picking things up in the street has been a habit since I was a child. I always had pockets full of nuts and bolts and other interesting bits and bobs I'd collected. When I started compiling sketch books for visual research around […]

Picked up a few records in the bargain bin at Rough Trade yesterday - 75% reduction makes any LP about a fiver, which is great.
Got an album I'd already paid to download last year, when I couldn't afford the price of the vinyl. Another album I was at the launch event for but, again, couldn't […]

Sharing a few more bits and bobs on Freecycle. Some household items (ornament shelves, underbed storage bags). I'm always slightly surprised by the volume of responses.
And working out the fairest/best way to respond. The only way is to go with first-come-first-served, right? Though sometimes […]

A run in the mud and drizzle round Hollow Ponds.
Experiments with the newish fell running shoes.
1. Would I immediately get shin splints like I did last time wearing them? (My normal road shoes have a lot more heel padding)
2. Are they actually any good in wet / muddy / uneven ground?

There was an advert on the telly for something or other in the early 2000s where Gary Rhodes was cooking some sausages, and he said, "the secret is NOT to prick them," and quite often that phrase pops into my head, unconnected to anything that's happening.

Sleaford Mods in conversation with Stewart Lee was entertaining.
The audience questions less so, some boring people in that room! Glad I went though. Look forward to giving their new album a listen.
