The morning was a nice, long, hangover-related lie-in. Mmm. Fi had some Ukulele business in the afternoon / evening so, knowing I was in danger of just crashing in front of some bad TV, and with...

Worked at home, as I tend to do most Mondays. Did a good chunk of work for Fiona on the client’s new site. We hired Seb to build it but there are still some tech niggles that she needs me to work on...

The annual heatwave is with us, so things are a bit melty. I decided not to bike into the city centre, where things are maginally hotter, and to instead work in the garden under a shade. It was...

Fairly productive day. Went into BOM for 12 to cover Leon for a couple of hours. Did some paid work for Karen tweaking the BOM website, basically undoing fripperies that WordPress theme designer...

Very much a did-nothing-day. I was feeling a little under the weather and the prospect of two heavy camera obscura days was looming, so my body kinda forced me to slow down, which was nice of it. I...

Very tired. A long day, for me anyway. Up at 7:30 to drive the camera obscura-laden car to Digbeth where it was a camera obscura dominated day. In the morning I spoke at How To Play Knowledge, a paid...

Today was brilliant, but long and tiring and I’ll write about it later anyway on the Bham Obscura blog. But yes, what a day!

Up and down with the cold today. It hasn’t been miserable but it has restricted my movements somewhat. Thankfully I’d been looking for some time to play with the Deep Dream neural network image stuff,...

The cold entered it’s last gasp today (which I know because I’m writing this, um, tomorrow, and I’m mostly better) and it was a nasty gasp. Woke up very groggy and the groggy didn’t shift for most of...

As alluded to in yesterday’s post, the fug is lifting. It’s all over bar the snot. Today was mostly spent on catchup. I was covering the gallery at BOM and made a good dent in the inbox. Inbetween I...

Am feeling oddly antsy today. Can’t quite put my finger on it. Maybe I need a holiday. Which is handy as we’re going to Ireland next week. Did some work on Fiona’s client’s website today. We should be...

Friday
Went to see Public Enemy at the Mostly Jazz festival, which is up the road from us in a nice park. They were very good. This is the first gig I’ve been to for a while and definitely the first since I...

I’m presenting at Pecha Kucha this Wednesday
A while ago I mused that it’d be good to bring Pecha Kucha events back to Birmingham. Kerry and Ben had similar ideas so we’re putting one on. It’s not an “official” Pecha Kucha Birmingham event, so we...

Stupid but not idiotic – thoughts on Gotham
Fi’s away for a few days so I picked a “box set” and worked my way through the first season and now I appear to be writing about it. Gotham came recommended by some mates but I wasn’t completely sold...

One Algo to rule them all?
A brief tweet by Boris Anthony saying that Twitter should give up on the reverse-chronology system and go “full algo” like what Facebook does, caused me to pause, frown and move on. But then Warren...

Vintage Eggshell
We’re moving the house around at the moment. The office which was downstairs in now upstairs, where the spare room we never used used to be, and the lounge, which was in the middle downstairs room, is...
View ArticleSome half-baked, rambling ideas for reinventing the Arts Council
Like most artists who are trying to make a living from being an artist outside of the commercial sector, a lot of my life is spent navigating the Arts Council. Tensions around the Arts Council can be...
View ArticleA rather good fortnight
This last month, and particularly the last couple of weeks, has been very good. Lots of things have happened, some big, some small, which will shape what I’m doing and how (and why) over the next year...
