iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Because all search is terrible now, does anyone have a recommendation for an iPhone case that also has a charging port cover? Otterbox is the only one coming up, but looks like the nicer ones aren't available in Europe (or are only on Amazon) - am I missing obvious other places to look?

Though also... ...feel more compelled than excited for this one, but couldn't not go. Saw the OG West End production which both had some great tunes and some of the worst lyrical crimes of all time, so this is maybe closure...?

Order confirmed! Get excited for Martin Guerre!

Hem hem. A seriously gratifying review from someone who really knows what they’re talking about.

Archives and online catalogues are fragile, massively underfunded and rarely given priority. Yet this is the infrastructure on which academic and commercial research relies. Sigh.

The #spookybooks prep so far has been…interesting.

Need to start prepping for this year’s #Booktober countdown. Here’s a highlight from last year that will likely re-appear in a new pic.

BLOG POST: Does your AI-generated beer app actually contribute something? Is it meeting a real need, or providing new information? Or did you just get excited about being able to make something with zero effort? boakandbailey.com/2026/09/ai-h...

AI has made it easier than ever to make apps nobody asked for

We’ve been inundated lately with AI-written press releases about AI-built tools and websites focused on beer and pubs. Who is asking for this?

Another ‘highly recommended’ - it does feel autumnal.

Love You! You're Welcome Heart Gesture

Have discovered that today is the 10th anniversary of my very first work trip to Dublin, before we ended up here for good, so hey, it’s the beginning of all of you being stuck with us.

Heading into the weekend with another hoarded beer from Hope and the latest @blpublishing.bsky.social Tales of the Weird title. Bonus late-for-the-equinox art.

Tina Belcher: Well, fix it.

Having One Of Those Weeks with a vendor where I've completely redesigned their op model to both better support customers and to improve their internal career progression opportunities, though only in my head, and am seriously thinking of writing it up and sending it to them with an invoice.

Happy Friday, pub nerds.

Watching Strange But True? from the 1990s as a sort of chillout from a wild workday, and they are recounting The Galway Poltergeist...was this quite well-known at the time? All feels a bit by-the-numbers (a priest and nun are involved), even by SBT standards; no memory of this one for me.

This week in Dublin pub-bothering we hit Brogan's: a pub that rather than exaggerating or inventing its history instead barely mentions it - also a bit of an odd move. #SpeirGorm www.weirdodublinpubs.com/weirdo-guide...

For all my fellow spooky folk...one of the best perks of serving on the board of this amazing institution is that most of our meetings are in a room where we're surrounded by Yeats' personal library, so it's really exciting to see this out in the world.
