1. Antiseptic Leona

   I support Antiseptic Leona!

2. My future self and me

   I’m really excited for this afternoon’s Waitrose Online shaping session hosted by the brilliant Jason Mesut. I’m finding the time to write this at his online writing club. I’ve missed opportunities like these to have an accountabilibuddy for writing. The seal has been broken!

   

3. Unstuck with story glue

   This week I volunteered to give an update at Waitrose Online’s Design Deli, our weekly sharing of work in progress. Instead of a chain of ‘and then’ I decided to dig out my notes from Ben Sauer’s Practical Strategic Storytelling workshop and add some story glue for a more compelling story. If you’re looking to raise your storytelling game or your team’s, I highly recommend getting in touch with Ben! https://bensauer.net/workshop/

4. Happy World Emoji Day

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

5. 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!

   

6. 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’.

7. 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.

8. 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.

9. Towel Day 2025

   Happy Towel day!

   

10. 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.
