Yeah the internet, that’s racism, very cheap consumables, pretty decent passport and driving licence renewals but if you want bins, or the good poetry? that’s paper

I’m coming round to the idea that some things are just only on paper.

"When is bins?" has been the white whale of my career. I've worked on a bin service three times* * my favourite was finding out bin collectors swapped sections of routes on a gentlemen's agreement, and the residents went along with it, but the council knew nothing

Great colander jokes everyone. 10/10.

I'm sorry, if I knew Scotland was listening I wouldn't have said it

it's a mindset, a coke can be a shower beer if you will it so

This* calls for a shower beer *everything

Imagine how complicated it would be to engineer this deliberately. The worst part is I always forget

Kudos to Breville for making a coffee machine that vibrates at the exact frequency to move a cup 2-3 inches, missing the stream of coffee.

Got that sounds nice (blanket, heartbeat, not the AI bit)

You can drink Diet Coke out of a mug on a call and everyone will think you're drinking black coffee, like a real grown up

Extremely niche but it was pretty cool to hear Frogpond on the first episode of the new season of Ted Lasso

Never miss a chance to tell people I thought the spiciness of Kiwi fruit was an indicator of ripeness

Anyone else ever feel really lucky to be born in the period of human history that vacuum cleaners exist in?

the makers of such tools are incentivised to make it as hard as possible to extract information from them. Either that or I'm old and cynical. No, must be the first things

Martin Wright @mynameismartin.co.uk · 28/07/2026

I check by rubbing them on my cheek. No-one must ever see

I would have loved a France England final, with England at their most desperate, first final in 60 years, hungriest selves. Never mind.

Got stung by a wasp. i thought I’f been stung before this but based on how much this hurts, I’d remember it better. Stripy jumper bastards

I've bemoaned these a lot, but I'm finding them harder and harder to parse - my brain just can't process the information on a poster like this. It feels like a kind of banner blindness you get with web ads

Martin Wright @mynameismartin.co.uk · 07/07/2026

But websites, you manage screen time for the browser, then per domain or subdomain. So say my kid wants to get to a bbc page. Screen time requests would be - safari - Google.com - BBC.co.uk three requests for one task. If any are on subdomains that’s a new request too

000

Martin Wright @mynameismartin.co.uk · 07/07/2026

Depending on your phones, we’re on Apple, so phone, iPad, laptop all use their screen time service. They get a set amount per app (can be zero) then they can send a request to a parent who manually approves a time extension on their device, or can enter a code for the child on child’s device

100

If you’re making a website or digital service for under-16s you should avoid subdomains at all costs. Each subdomain is another screen time request for parents and friction in the way of homework and revision

Were it not for my standing desk I don't think I'd be awake right now. Desk up, standing, fan blasting.

I had a Chinese and two pints, it was a mistake let me tell you, but accidentally missing my alarm by an hour paid off quite well

I don’t think the nation can cope with a rollercoaster like this at 2am and get to work tomorrow. Activate the King, declare an emergency bank holiday
