Mark Goodge @markgoodge.com · 21/09/2026I was idly browsing through the search queries on Google Analytics for one of my websites. I'd love to know what prompted this pair of searches. 000
Mark Goodge @markgoodge.com · 16/04/2026Slightly unfortunate typo in the BBC's story on the Covid report. I asked ChatGPT, Gemini and Copilot to generate an image of the UK playing a huge roll. 000
Mark Goodge @markgoodge.com · 22/03/2026One of the bizarre things about Trump's social media posts isn't the content, dumb though it is, it's the way he signs them off. "Thank you for your attention to this matter". Sounds like an email from a middle manager complaining that staff are leaving empty sandwich wrappers on their desks again. 000
Mark Goodge @markgoodge.com · 18/03/2026I learned a new word today. From the BBC report into Scotland's assisted dying bill. 000
Mark Goodge @markgoodge.com · 22/01/2026Even Google's AI admits that AI is hurting independent websites. Maybe it's time for the independent web to reinvent the things which were once its main sources of traffic. 100
Mark Goodge @markgoodge.com · 24/09/2025Football trivia. Tonight's match between Port Vale and Arsenal is the first domestic English game for more than 25 years where neither side is named after a place. 162
Mark Goodge @markgoodge.com · 26/08/2025This photo has started showing up on social media as if it's related to events of the past few days. It isn't. It's from the Vale of Evesham Asparagus Festival 11 years ago. The asparagus season traditionally starts on St George's day, hence the flag. 150
Mark Goodge @markgoodge.com · 26/08/2025Apostrophe fans of the world. What are your thoughts on this? 010
Mark Goodge @markgoodge.com · 16/08/2025Mildly amusing football fact. With the absence of East Anglian representation in the Premier League this year, the most easterly Premier League club is the slightly misleadingly (in this context) named West Ham. 100
Mark Goodge @markgoodge.com · 16/06/2025I'm not entirely sure that this says what they think it means. 000
Mark Goodge @markgoodge.com · 13/03/2025Llama 3, can you give me an example of the Streisand effect? 110
Mark Goodge @markgoodge.com · 31/01/2025Nice nod to early noughties ambient dance in the football section of the Graun today 000
Mark Goodge @markgoodge.com · 27/01/2025Saw this advert on a website I just visited. My first thought was, I must have forgotten to turn personalised advertising off. 010
Mark Goodge @markgoodge.com · 03/12/2024We're well into December now, so you're already hearing these on the retail and hospitality playlists. That means it's time to play Christmas Song Bingo. 000
Mark Goodge @markgoodge.com · 04/10/2024I'm not entirely sure if this is up @apiln.bsky.social's street, but it's still a gorgeous mismatch of headline and photo. 100
Mark Goodge @markgoodge.com · 25/08/2024A while ago, I added the fact that I'm a a councillor to my LinkedIn profile. Ever since, I've been getting emails like this. Maybe someone should point out the fundamental flaw in this algorithm. 000
Mark Goodge @markgoodge.com · 25/01/2024Slightly disappointed to discover that this doesn't contain haggis, neeps, tatties and the lyrics to "Auld Lang Syne". 0173
