Writing

  1. f/e 13 May 2018

    ‘Fortitude’ season two, 1980s ‘Top of the Pops’, and reading Iain M. Banks’ ‘Consider Phlebas’.

    On whether writing weeknotes could help me get back into more frequent blogging again. (Answer: they didn’t, quite.)

Links

  1. Bloomberg Opinion - Money Stuff

    Matt Levine’s weekdaily email is so good. US-focused business/finance, clearly written (some of it a bit over my head), a personality, some great lines, and lots of it.

    Battlefield 1 is peculiarly resistant to remembering my progress when I come back to it. So close to finishing the campaign but I think the Allies will have to do it without me now.

    @neillyneil Thankfully I don’t think I follow (m)any people who tweet about either. I assume some sporting events are like this for some people too.
