Doing digital transformation. I love data, tea and comics. Thoughts all my own.

Against Doomerism
There's a certain strain of commentator who is just sure that nothing can ever get better. In amongst all the hullaballoo about the UK potentially banning under 16s from social media, I saw a prominent historian say: i assume banning kids from social media will be accompanied by a huge investment in teen-friendly communtiy [sic] spaces (like youth clubs) and social activities? No? Huh. But,…

Delighted to see that Reel Big Fish are back. I think I must have seen them live maybe ten times, and they were the first band I saw with @lizlutgendorff.bsky.social. www.youtube.com/watch?v=KGUa...

Our solar panels were hooked up on Friday. On a cloudy day, we half our grid usage, on a sunny day it’s even more dramatically lower.
Solar today: 26.94 kWh generated · estimated saving £7.12 · peak 5,185 W.
I just did two loads of laundry (washer and dryer) using…THE SUN. This is so wild.
We just got solar panels yesterday and graph watching has become A Thing
@jamesomalley.co.uk fired up an old iPod and found that it still had some of your vintage podcasts (before podcasts were cool)
🧵 Hearing about other people's holidays is incredibly tedious, but just to get this out of my system, here is a thread of photos from my holiday to Japan. 🇯🇵
Good morning from Japan, where we recreated the 2023 G7 “family photo”. (Me as Rishi, my Canadian partner, @lizlutgendorff.bsky.social, as Trudeau.)

To celebrate the new bin rules coming into force, I have reprised this excellent piece from @lizlutgendorff.bsky.social, who used to work in waste management, on why bins are so complicated, and why some people think we need seven of them. takes.jamesomalley.co.uk/p/why-we-nee...
Why we need seven bins

Listening to our users: I am at the first of 3 day-long workshops with citizens and residents to unpick the quality of government services. Over 6,000 people across all of Germany were randomly sent a letter by the minister and invited to share their views on service experience.
Apologies for blowing my own trumpet but I’m amazed and beyond thrilled that ‘Potholesville’ has somehow hit 150k views in less than a week. Branching into film was a random experiment so to see the channel take off so fast is, er, thought provoking. m.youtube.com/watch?v=RKiV...

Been going shopping with my dad this week, as he’s coming to Mexico with us. I don’t think I have ever been shopping with my dad before.
I am going to make a bingo card of things to do in 2026. like visit a London museum that I’ve never been to before, doing another sportive. Anyone do any fun / different things that they’d recommend for my bingo card.
