After an excellent podcast from Looking Out gang I should write about the Ferrari Luce on my old blog but Drew and Joe have said a lot that I was thinking about. There are some connections I can make with a bunch of thoughts, but my brain takes time to connect the dots!
So.... after essentially getting carried away and buying my Panda 100HP "blind".... I had a mechanic check it over. Not great news, in terms of hidden rust. But nothing that can't be fixed in time.
Excellent car show in Truro city centre today. Some amazing cars but this “every day” car of the 90s stole my heart. #alfaromeo
And the AC decided to break today on the Panda. Strange. It was working fine last week after a re-gas! A new compressor needed I would bet 😮💨

My Yeti sold to someone within 1 hour of listing. Catnip for Cornwall… so here’s a teaser of my next car which I went to see today. Hope to have it by the weekend or next week at the latest. Can you guess what it is? Should be pretty easy… for Cardle players.
Took photos for listing my car for sale and apart from being a diesel I struggle to think of a better Cornish car. 4WD, high driving position, not too wide, 1200kg, 5 adjustable/removable seats. 400l boot. Sadly rust is gradually killing it.
Put a deposit down on a car today. The Yeti is being replaced. Reveal will be in a week or two…
Cornwall car life. 90s are not classics they’re daily drivers.
This. Stop complaining about the games industry and start voting left. As far left as you can.
Noel Berry@noelfb.bsky.social · last mo.there isn't a problem with the game's industry. there's a problem with every industry and every publicly traded company. getting a "nice CEO who cares" or whatever won't fix anything until things are addressed at a more fundamental societal level. the system will always drive towards this behavior.

Entire beaches are made of dead sea creature's shells..... but ok I can ignore that for the powerful message.
Petra Michaela@petramichaela.bsky.social · last mo.Every creature leaves a mark on the Earth. And humans? We leave behind plastic bottles, packaging, containers, and trash. The saddest part is that we are the only species that understands the damage—yet we keep doing it. Our footprint should be one of responsibility, not pollution.
A reminder that a Chinese exchange student of mine way back in about 2019... DID NOT believe me that games were still available on discs. He had NEVER SEEN an actual game disc, and I sent him on a journey to the shops in to see one in the plastic!
Also just wanted to share this image here. Thanks to @sniffpetrol.com for the original collage - which I decided to analyse a little in terms of design basics...
Interesting car industry question on Richard Osman's House of Games (from 2024 I think)... which stated less than 1million cars were manufactured in the UK in 2023. What an absolute disaster.

The reaction here is so visceral. Nerves are raw, people seem vulnerable, emotions are high. It’s hard to remember we are talking about a 3D graphical rendering technique. When has that ever been so controversial? Strange times.

Interesting- anyone tell me how my iPhone new that I was in a new time zone while on airplane mode? Flew from Helsinki to London yesterday and time had adjusted before I switched off airplane mode! My flight was in my calendar and the boarding passes were in apple wallet. Is that how?
