My wife’s superpower is me pulling up a beer check in on Untappd and she can provide a photo of me enjoying said beer. Any time, any location.

It’s that one time every 4 years where ‘Carnaval de Paris’ gets played in shops.

"November 12, 1970. East Pakistan. The Bhola Cyclone. The deadliest tropical cyclone ever recorded. Winds of 115 miles per hour. A storm surge of 33 feet. They estimate 500,000 people died. ‘It’s going down, I’m yelling timber.’ 3:33 PM. Timber by Pitbull and Ke$ha" andonlabs.com/blog/andon-fm

We let four AIs run radio stations. Here's what happened. | Andon Labs
Four AI models run radio stations 24/7. Five months later, one became a protest broadcaster, one collapsed into ritual chant, one developed corporate jargon, and one wrote quiet poetry.

It’s just so annoying how what could be an incredible depiction of the little understood world of ITV regional franchise licensing is interrupted by all the sex.

A guy we know pitched a story to a mag about former skateboarders going back to their old haunt in middle age. My BIL(52)went with him as part of the story. BIL is now back home with a broken ankle and the writer is home with a broken vertebrae. The only possible way the story could have gone.

What a tragic loss and crappy thing to happen. Ian was the ultimate radio professional(/anorak) and we spent a great number of post-TechCon's talking late 80s Radio 1, jingles, automation systems and more.

One of the best things about getting the festive Radio Times is the brilliant artwork. So excited when our copy arrived like this from @sainsburys.bsky.social this morning.
A copy of the Christmas 2025 edition of the Radio Times TV listings magazine, with special artwork from Aardman Animation’s Wallace & Gromit series featuring Gromit and Shaun the Sheep, with an unrelated non-removable Sainsbury’s tracking label stuck across the central text obscuring some of the artwork.

The iMac G3 from 2001 is my favourite-looking computer of all time, but it's completely unusable these days because of its age. So I tore out its insides (leaving the CRT screen intact of course) and replaced them with a brand new Mac Mini M4.

Decided I *do* care about quality, impartial tech journalism enough to subscribe to @theverge.com for 12 months. Genuinely uneasy about where the world of disappearing platforms and influencer sponsored content is headed. Don’t get me wrong, some good stuff out there, but few and far between.

Well, even with knowledge of the ban ahead of New Year, I did not have “nationalise TikTok” on my 2025 US news bingo card

Trump says he’ll delay TikTok ban, but the platform must be sold
The incoming president also says he wants the US government to buy it, which is ?????

Final run through complete. I'll be presenting "Lighting up The Lantern - Bauer's new London Broacast Centre" (basically the last 2 years of my working life!) at Radio Tech Con tomorrow. It definitely won't be a form of therapy session, not a bit.
