Family guy and web developer

I had no idea Unsplash had an iOS app. Found out this morning after continuing my process of updating accounts with my new email address.

Almost stationary. To be fair, I envy this little guy’s pace of life.

This is a silhouette of Ethan playing at Gleneagles last year in the junior open. I like this type of picture. I hope to get more shots like this when golf competitions return next year.

I was optimistic about Mozilla yesterday. Today, I’m not so sure after reading various posts and tweets. Without Mozilla, we lose a big big fighter for the open web. I really hope Mozilla can bounce back.

My Soundcore Life 2 headphones were a great buy. They produce good sound and have noise cancelling.

They also work nicely for online gaming, although I never thought about using them when I bought them. #mbaug

Looking out the window from one of the buildings at Paisley Abbey. I would love a window like this to work from every day.

A moment of peace and quiet as I walked off the golf course a couple of weeks ago. #mbaug

Made the switch from Apple Music to Spotify today. So much easier to move about in the app and there’s the addition of the web player as well.

Trust people’s common sense

Senior minister Michael Gove has said he does not think face coverings should be compulsory in shops in England, saying he trusts people’s common sense.

Speaking to the BBC’s Andrew Marr, Mr Gove said wearing a mask in a shop was “basic good manners”.

Coronavirus: I trust people’s sense on face masks - Gove

The problem with this approach is that by and large, people will ignore what’s common sense and just do what they think is right by them.

I don’t always agree with Nicola Sturgeon’s politics, but I agree wholeheartedly with the move to make masks compulsory in shops in Scotland. It keeps the staff safe, it keeps the customers safe and it removes any grey area in between where people wonder whether they should wear a mask or not.
