Sophie Wang @sophielwang.bsky.social wants to know what colors people associate with abstract concepts. Take her 10-question survey and help uncover the hidden relationships between ideas and color: www.sophielwang.com/color I'd love to share my results, but I'd rather not introduce any bias 🎨 👀

Thanks, Vonnegut. 💜

Doing the quote sheet a video game because I’m just so pleased this turned out to be (roughly) the answer. Spent so long playing this.

If you see this, quote skeet with a screenshot from a video game that released the year you were born.

Went to a short talk recently on Video Nation at the Watershed - such a wonderful view into people's lives and fascinating to hear how it all worked. Good to see there's another event planned. www.watershed.co.uk/whatson/1380...

Happy Halloween 👻🎃💀! Here are some of the results from our National Folklore Survey about how people living in England celebrate, as visualised for us by artist Jonny Ford'!

Picked this up in a Bristol charity shop some time ago and finally got round to framing it today. A beautiful map of a beautiful place and I love the priorities in the key.

Tried to take a photograph of a spiders web in the golden light - but it was invisible on camera. Is it harder to take pictures of the ephemeral now? I’m sure older phones could deal with sunlit webs.

Found the links in a favourite newsletter don't work (and haven't for several issues). Worked out today I can fix them by waiting for them to time out then editing the URL from buttondown-0000.com to buttondown.com. Vaguely wondering if I'm doing a Bad Thing.

Flowers may be my favourite thing about Cornwall, though the sea is also good.

Open day at Puppet Place, possibly my favourite Bristol thing (and roughly what the inside of my head looks like) puppetplace.org

Have always pricked jacket potatoes before they go in the oven - automatically, like I throw salt over my shoulder if I spill some.

Small moments of work joy :: yesterday someone shared a spreadsheet in a Teams call and made it zoomed-in enough that it was easy to read and I'm pretty sure that's the first time that's ever happened in any call I've been on.

thinking of getting into pre-code cinema, because I think we can all agree I don't have enough hobbies - where should I start? any recs, especially for someone who's almost entirely used to modern films?

Could LLM's kill bullet lists? All nested bullet lists now look like AI bobbins.

Spent about an hour longer than I intended in the bookshop. Now waiting out the rain. Did wonder why it looked dark outside.

Our new cherry tree has many blossoms and is even prettier now the leaves are coming.

Working on a system to stop myself walking away from my desk wearing my reading glasses. Somewhat depressingly, the best strategy so far is putting my proper glasses on my phone, piggybacking on my phone-never-leaves-my-side reflex.

Had these for over a year and only just got around to doing this
