1. Happy World Emoji Day

   Happy World Emoji Day… oh wait because the date on the calendar emoji is 17th July… HA! 😀🌍📆

2. I deleted my Facebook account

   I finally reached a milestone of Big Tech Exorcism™ today. Reading about Fuckerberg’s gigawatt effort to accelerate climate collapse gave me the final shove to delete my Facebook account. This house is clean!

   

3. Pushed over The Edge

   Spare a thought for those living in a multiverse where every piece of memory storage device comes pre-installed with a copy of U2’s album ‘Songs of Innocence’.

4. Still glowing after Content Rising

   I’m still glowing after a day of inspirational talks about the power of storytelling to address climate action. It was a wonderful day reconnecting with a cause I feel passionate about and refilling my cup with hope and energy. Thank you Tamsin, Charlie and all the speakers and attendees.

5. Syndicating with json feed

   I got really excited about json feeds after reading about it in the Echo Feed docs. Using 11ty to build out the feed was super silly easy. I’m now taking full advantage of syndicating features in Echo Feed.

6. Towel Day 2025

   Happy Towel day!

   

7. Pick a card

   I’ve collected a few card decks and books over the years. This year I’ve made a new habit of making time in my day to pick one concept from each, summarise and link in my Obsidian vault.

   

8. I deleted my Amazon account

   Continuing the slow process of Big Tech Exorcism™. This time Bezos’ nightmare factory is up for the chop.

   

9. One calendar month away

   The last 2 weeks have made it clear that people, culture and the planet should be at the top of our priority list. Join the ten empathic, future(s)-focused speakers and workshop facilitators at #ResearchByTheSea to find out how.

10. Prototyping self-expression

    Sketching out some ideas for making the Research by the Sea lanyard something that attendees might want to keep for later rather than throw away.
