saw this image from Blue Lug in Tokyo and it just made my heart sing, aren't bikes and all the beautiful things people make for them such a thing of beauty

I got Claude Code to audit my Mac's folder / file structure (because it is a hot mess developed over 20 years). Turns out I hoard copies of Transport all over the place. You never know when you might need it!!
Screenshot of a Mac Terminal with feedback from Claude Code on the folder structure. It says:
Duplicate Content:
 - Fonts: Same font files in Downloads AND Library/Fonts (complete duplication)
  - Archives: Multiple archive folders with overlapping content
  - GDS Transport fonts: Found in 3+ different locations

Absolute cliche to be a govdesigner commenting on the childcare service but...well I have 100 things to say about payments, basically

I still chuckle at this report cover sometimes. Grateful to work with a team who are confident enough to inject personality and wit into the work. What's the point otherwise? cc @soniaturcotte.bsky.social @rodm.bsky.social @eliotf.bsky.social

A v cool day at FF Studio including the return of Pepsi, a visit from my mum, and a talk by @abscond.org. Tonight @eliotf.bsky.social is guesting at a Yale seminar. Brain full, heart full

Here's some things I saw along the way. Two religious shrines, including to San Rocco, patron saint of dogs. An extremely cobbled road. A soaked astroturf pitch. No micromobility options - no Lime bikes or scooters to be found - but it was a pleasant walk. Well signposted. Two water fountains.

Then, because taxi apps don't appear to exist here, I walked 2.6km in the rain to the hospital (a family member currently in situ)

Went to visit the Copenhagen Institute of Interaction Design yesterday. Logically, it's of course in Bergamo, Lombardy. Incredibly space. Lucky students.

I really resisted signing up to Bluesky for some reason and now it's coming back to bite my early adopter ego
Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #390,994!

Pepsi's thinking about the time two years ago that she found a ginger nut on the wall outside this polling station #dogsatpollingstations

Thanks for having me at Interesting last night @undermanager.bsky.social. Already heard from two people who have increased their pension contributions. Gratifying. If you wanted to start your pension off the back of the talk, here's those QR codes again. & thanks @willsh.bsky.social for the pic.
A 2x2 grid on a projector screen. Top to bottom is 'You've saved a bunch' vs 'You've not saved anything'. Left to right is 'The world as we know it ends (climate, nuclear war, AI etc)' and 'The world continues to evolve but is kinda similar'. Top right quadrant says 'Martini on the beach', bottom right says 'Cross fingers and hope for state pension'. Top left says 'Money might be helpful in miserable circumstances', bottom left says 'Enjoy the apocalypse with no money!'

Standing on the stage to the right of the screen is a person with short hair and a dark jacket presenting.A slide image with a blue background, and two QR codes on the right. The text says '£25-100: open a SIPP with Interactive Investor', or '£100+: open a SIPP with Vanguard'. The QR codes link to Interactive Investor and Vanguard.

gotta ask yourself why I never wrote up this blog post
