Had the pleasure of visiting his sculpture in Manchester last month.

Bronze sculpture of a man sitting on a park bench. Embedded in the pavement in front is a gay pride flag.

HALF MARATHON RESULT I ran the Oakville Ontario half marathon today. Very pleased with how I felt and the 2:19:01 result! #running #runsky

Me at the start with the orange dawn sky behind me.

Me at the end smiling with an award ribbon and people in the background at a park.

Me making a fake runner pose on a podium in front of a white poster background. The setting is a park.

So... No #running updates because I've been on holiday. We've just walked across England, from Solway-on-Bowness to Tynemouth along Hadrian's Wall and path. 168km in 9 days. If "time on feet" counts as training, then I'm good. This is me at land's end at the Tynemouth Priory.

Me, in sunshine with sunglasses and a backpack. Behind me is a sea wall, an iron fence, and the North Sea.

Illustration of Brouwer's Fixed Point Theorem. More like bow-wower's fixed point theorem, amirite? #math

Apropos of absolutely nothing. This is one of my favourite personal possessions. Quietly nerd-coded. It's made of Cube, an incredibly durable material used in race sailing, IIRC. From a @greatdismal.bsky.social recommendation from about 20 years ago. Inside it says "yasutomo 2020".

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't nirvana, soundgarden, pearl jam, or alice in chains.

Flowers seen on today's (very slow) dog walk. The first is a weed, I think. The second is cultivated. The dogs needed extra sniffing time after so long without a proper walk. (It's been smoky)

Sorry if this is weird but that reminds me of the inner sleeve of the Tattoo You LP by the Rolling Stones. (I'm pretty old, and this was from the vinyl edition of a 1981 release, so I think the median bsky user wouldn't know about this).

From a recent trip to Hong Kong, there were a few small hops specializing in various kinds of industrial equipment. This one had all sorts of hooks and pulleys. They will sell you what you need! Others had electric motors, others all kinds of wrenches, another had wire and cabling.

I've been traveling and so hadn't run in two weeks (I know, not an excuse). I wanted a steady run to get back to the routine. It was pouring rain this morning so I ran in the local Velodrome. Pace 6:48/km Time 35m 43s Distance 5.24km Pretty happy with how I felt. #running

Visited the incredible Ruïnes d'Empúries at L'Escala Spain. A key point to me was these prosperous societies were consciously multicultural.

Stacks of bricks stand in an open area surrounded by walls. This is the site of an ancient Roman public bath.

Gate in a Roman city wall. The bottom half of the wall is made with very large stones, the top half with concrete. Through the gate you can see a path, a lone column, and a wall. At the bottom of the gate you can see grooves worn in the stone where chariot wheels write them down.

My pet theory is that Tom Brady and Giselle Bundchen split because she got him into FTX crypto. (She was featured in hilarious 4 page ad spreads in summer 2023 with her first, then you turn the page and see schlumpy SBF) The stakes are so low I don't care if it's true.
