It’s Good Friday. Jesus walks into a hotel. He goes up to the front desk, slaps three nails down on the counter and says, “Can you put me up for the night?”

And I have a feeling
That through the hole in reason’s ceiling
We can fly to knowledge
Without ever going to college.

— Patrick Kavanagh, To Hell with Commonsense

Reading The Odyssey by Homer translated by Robert Fagles.

Crooning at the cat that it’s an “early night for Coco” (to the tune of Rainy Night In Soho).

Oh, nifty!

Reading Europe in Autumn by Dave Hutchinson.

Reading The Great Hunger by Patrick Kavanagh.

No, I’m in town to nerd out with @[email protected]’s students.

Going to Amsterdam. brb

Oh yeah, that’s been there for years—I need to up my game (literally) after seeing what you’ve done!

Day one of #IndieWebCampBrighton was great!

It was like having my RSS reader come to life, what with lovely people like @[email protected], @[email protected], and @[email protected] there too!

If you’re already in Brighton for tomorrow’s Patterns Day and you fancy some background music with a pint this evening, I’m playing in a traditional Irish music session at the Jolly Brewer on Ditchling Road from 8pm to 10pm.

Reading Stone Blind by Natalie Haynes.

Jakob Nielsen’s latest piece is about large language models as magical silver bullets for accessibility. I can only assume it’s secretly part of a test to prove Brandolini’s Law. I’m not going to fall for it!
