Pinch, punch, first of the month (no returns!) I picked this up when I went to see the memorial to Nick at St Bride’s a couple of months ago. It has sat on my desk since then and this morning…| Perfect Path

Oof! This is the question that formed the basis of yesterday's "Unreasonable Connection". It's a lot more direct than I heard it in the room! The breakout group that I was part of, talked mostly about running events and dealing with such events "not working" in some way – usually evidenced by the feeling that … Continue reading What performative gestures are killing real community in your space?→| Perfect Path
On Friday, it’ll be 34 years since I first became a father. It’s the role I’ve played most consistently (if not always brilliantly) in this lifetime. Since then that t…| Perfect Path

After breakfast, but before coffee, I went up the garden to see whether we have a couple of folding chairs in the kind of shed/cupboard thing that's on level 3. Our garden is cut into a steep hill. If you count our downstairs as level 0 then my studio is on level 1 and it … Continue reading Wandering into the web→| Perfect Path
What does it mean to gather around "regrowing a living culture"? I've been using that phrase to talk about the monthly coffee mornings I'm doing in London and I thought it might be worth going back to where I picked the phrase up. Late in 2023, my friends Dougald and Anna ran a course with … Continue reading Coffee Mornings and “regrowing a living culture”→| Perfect Path
I need to blog more. I need to write more, but I also need to release more and this is the best place I have for doing that. I caught myself giving someone feedback on their work which was really an expression of my frustration with not feeling productive myself. It's not enough to apologise … Continue reading Tuesday, 6th May 2025→| Perfect Path
This was just sitting waiting to be published for almost 55 years. Those who’ve heard my more recent (ie since 2004) podcasting will recognise the roots of my presenting style. As far as I can tell, it was recorded on the same day as the picture was taken. Script assistance by “Mummy”. Sound Engineer: “Daddy”. … Continue reading Very first audioblog (20th April 1970)→| Perfect Path
I’m on the train to London and trying out Wordland on my iPad. All seems good. The editor box is left-aligned rather than centred, but I can live with that – maybe it’s an update that I haven’t noticed because I haven’t logged out on my desktop machine yet 🙂 I’m doing another round of … Continue reading Friday, 7th March 2025→| Perfect Path
Ugh, the end of last week and the weekend were wiped out by norovirus. No more details necessary. I think there’s a long-running series that will emerge here called “I’m not retired but…” because although I’m still doing lots of interesting work, I also have started taking my Audit Commission pension which doesn’t even pay … Continue reading Wednesday, 5th March 2025→| Perfect Path
When I was a kid, you'd see people who lived with paralysis or muscle-weakness as a result of contracting polio. The vaccine was first introduced in the UK in the mid-fifties and by the time I was born, at the end of 1964, we were all getting it on sugar cubes. So when I asked … Continue reading Thursday, 27th February 2025→| Perfect Path
Another day, another new app. Today I saw that Flashes is available in the iOS app store. It is supposed to be to Bluesky what Insta is to Threads, kind of. But it doesn't have a separate timeline – so if I post a picture with the app using my main bsky account all of … Continue reading Tuesday , 25th February 2025→| Perfect Path
Dipping a toe into the Wordland water. It's warmer than expected. The first thing I notice is nothing to do with the product itself, rather how ugly and cluttered my WordPress template has become. It's one of those things you don't like to think about too much. I made it less cluttered, but it still … Continue reading Monday, 24th February 2025→| Perfect Path

Last year, I wrote about wanting something a bit like dopplr, something to remind me of who is where IRL. This morning, via John Gruber, I see that Ev Williams is bringing us such a something. Of course I signed up straight away… have you met me? At first glance, after first coffee, but still … Continue reading Mozi along now→| Perfect Path
