Using AI to design a better golf putter? Sounds more like marketing hype to me. And using “ai” in the product name is a big turn-off for me.
The trailer for season 3 of Slow Horses has dropped.
Between this and For All Mankind, my winter television viewing is sorted. Also, it might be time to start reading the Slow Horses books.
Everywhere I go on the web, I still see sites using the old Twitter “bird” branding in images, buttons and links. In fact, I can’t recall if I’ve ever seen the “X” branding being used anywhere other than on X itself.
What a blog should be
Words I wish I had read when I started this whole online thing.
And, that’s exactly what a blog should be — a reflection of your interest and attention over time. A reflection of who you are right now and where you’ve been. Blogs are living things that should grow at the same rate we do.
— This blog is 20 years old today by Patrick Rhone
I’ve chopped and changed domains and blogs so many times over the last 15 or so years that I wouldn’t be able to lay claim over any period of significant blogging.
It’s only now that I’m starting to make a bit of sense of where everything should be. Yip, I wish I had words like this when I started blogging.
Anyway, happy anniversary, Patrick!
“The Bear” has been renewed for a third season.
Love the show, the cast and the story. Can’t wait to see where it goes with season 3.
The perks of living in Arizona.
It is nice to live in a state that does not have to change its clocks.
I can never understand why we still need to do this.
It’s been an absolute treat reading about @vincent’s progress building Tinylytics. Building in public is a great way of communicating progress and getting early feedback. Keep it going Vincent!
Got the bed of veggies going for the roast, potatoes, carrots and parsnips are peeled and ready, Yorkshire pudding mix is chilling in the fridge, some tunes on in the background and the coffee is brewing.
Just another chill Sunday afternoon.

Docker Desktop is killing my Mac today. Multiple updates/restarts have failed and two re-installs of it are not working either. Going for a clean uninstall and install next.
A reminder from Nicholas Bate to re-set your personal compass.
Cracking afternoon of golf with the wee guy.
Still blue skies, the slightest hint of a nip in the air, and the changing colours on the trees.
Love golfing during this time of year.
Can anyone recommend some resources on getting setup with Obsidian? I’m thinking plugins, themes and organising it. It will primarily be a place for me to organise some notes and perhaps some writing.
Cracking day at Edinburgh Castle with the family! Still a great place to visit. I would have liked less crowds there to get a chance to get a few more interesting pictures, but can’t argue with its popularity.
Heading over to Edinburgh today. Planning to visit the castle, Camera Obscura and wander a bit round the old town.
Giving Omnivore a go as a read-it-later service after seeing it mentioned on Micro.blog. Like what I see so far.
Messing about with a new Rails 7.1 app this morning. My first time running with the import maps option for handling JavaScript.
