I kept losing touch with people I care about. A week became a month, a month became never. So I built Merm — a personal CRM that quietly nudges you when relationships go cold. Just launched. Free to try → merm.me (£9.99/year for unlimited. Won't stay this cheap.)

Had a weird dream that must have been inspired by watching world cup news + a pirate film. In the few seconds of dream i can remember Tim Cahill was apparently an australian politician visiting the world cup, he was wearing an old fashioned Bicorne hat, but wasn't happy about it.

Bit the bullet and started methodically working through the Digitone manual. Finally got my head around projects, patterns, chains and songs, and step sequence mode. Blocked out the chords for a song, looking forward to filling it out and f-ing up the sound

Sigh 1. The Met arrested Linehan because there were warrants out for him 2. He was arrested at Heathrow because airports are places where ID is checked 3. Airport police are armed as a matter of course 4. Linehan is a deeply disturbed man who is being misused for clickbait

Realised I’m doing a peculiar creative procrastination at the moment. I’ve been writing lots and lots of songs with the aim of doing a full album fully in my Digitone 2. I’ve got more than enough songs, but I keep writing more because…

Every American should read this ACLU lawsuit about what is happening in Los Angeles and California. It is the stuff of dystopian nightmares. This is not immigration enforcement. It is positively stuffed with videos and articles documenting racial profiling on a scale unseen since Jim Crow.

Pondering deep diving into data science/engineering type stuff, should I just do some certs and some courses, or should I go large and do an MSc. My gut is telling me the former would be more efficient and cost effective.

Best quote: "The self-defeating absurdity of the system is that the state has abdicated responsibility at one end while retaining it at the other. Having pushed people into the private market, the central government can (as it did in the 2010s) squeeze their benefit payments to save money.."

This is a cracking article that sets out the multiple failures of housing policy in the UK (but especially in England). I have been saying for years - the housing crises we face today are the direct consequences of political decisions made by successive Governments.

This week one year ago I released my North Norfolk Coast album, 14 songs inspired by and using sounds field recorded at 14 locations along the North Norfolk coast, an audio love letter to the coast. To celebrate I’ve reduced the price for a limited period to just £3.99 on my Bandcamp
