Must take better notes.
When I see something I like, or think will be useful, I do one of several things:
– Know I’ll remember
– Add it to pinboard
– Send it to drafts
– Post to my blog
– Favourite it with in ever system I am in.
Yet again this has failed me.
The most positive piece of news. All power to Jack Monroe for drawing attention to a terrible situation & getting it fixed.
The important thing I’ve learned here has nothing to do with Wordle or WordleBot. It’s that I can use Shortcuts to make an image out any HTML/CSS. As long as I can stuff it into a data URL, I can make an image from it. Could be very useful.
I don’t use shortcuts all that much, but this looks interesting.
Read: Great Circle by Maggie Shipstead ★★★★★ 📚
Great book, story of fictional woman aviator who circles the globe, embedded in family history & film of her life. Covering a lot of ground, in all senses, it pretty much all fits together.

Hi Alan,
Thanks for this.
One thing I liked when I did Radio Edutalk was by doing the show live I felt no pressure to edit the archives, beyond a bit of levelling and trimming my technical problems at the start of a nicecast broadcast.
One of the values, to me, of listening to a podcast is the extra information, often emotional, that is carried by the voice. This research linked might support that premiss.
As podcasting gets a lot more professional, one of the downsides might be the loss of the unedited voice.
Woke up this morning to the radio talking about the cost of living rising a further 5%. It infuriates me the index that they use for this calculation, which grossly underestimates the real cost of inflation as it happens to people with the least. Allow me to briefly explain.
Read this thread by @BootstrapCook. Brilliant work on how unfair inflation currently is.
Many thanks to Robert Macmillan for re tweeting.

Full uncut interview with land campaigner Andy Wightman discussing rewilding, land reform, trees and why the Scottish mountains look the way they do.
Great listen (huffeduffed the youtube) nuanced discussion.
Fusilli with tinned sardines, fennel, lemon and anchovy crumbs.
I think I had the correct ingredients! We are split over the crumbs. D prefers our usual plain in butter. I am with the anchovies.
