A reminder of how far online maps have come in the past decade. This was as good as it got: streetmap.co.uk/oldmap.srf?x=5…

Combining several tasks into a single bigger one, like a well-meaning but misguided debt consolidation service.

@blech Yeah, half my uses and muscle memories like that, the other half don’t.

Wondered why laptop screen kept getting dimmer during the day. Weeks later have realised the ‘brightness down’ key is next to ‘ESC’. #vi

@phl Obviously! At least it’s ahead of Whitney Houston and Gerry Rafferty. (I have no idea what Spotify are doing.)

@ianbetteridge @Zoonie @macintosh Depends on the food :)

@russelldavies Oh I care! I just don’t *care*. #punctuationexcuses

Spotify: I defy you to explain why Huey Lewis & The News is listed as number 2 in my Top Artists.

@Zoonie @ianbetteridge @macintosh But true for nearly all shared photos. A tiny percentage are great photos or fascinating subjects.

@ianbetteridge I mean, I don’t *care* about most of Twitter/Instagram, but it’s all a stream of awareness of friends’ activity/thoughts.

@ianbetteridge I remember non-techy friends not seeing a point in Twitter years ago: “I don’t care what friends have for lunch!”

@Zoonie @ianbetteridge @macintosh More often, isn’t the question “Why do x privately?” Public is often default behaviour. Consumers filter.

@mildlydiverting But he has his good points! #boomboom

@eadingas Thank you. I do what I can.

@tomstuart @tomtaylor Are any of them great in the countryside? O2 often disappears whenever I’m between metropolises.

@ianbetteridge Amazing innit. There was another one last month: youtube.com/watch?v=NBqb3m…

@paul_regan I thought you might like this, about drawing: bit.ly/SqcfOQ I’m looking forward to @matthewward’s next drawing posts.

@chrislunch Although, said out loud, it’s a bit different.

@chrislunch Cox Inside!

Just realised I had a Cox apple sticker stuck on the back of my left ear for the past 13 hours.

@suegyford Sounds quite like him really. bit.ly/OZbGk8

very surprised that apple.com/letter-from-ti… doesn't have a photo of a piece of paper as the background
