never played a Fallout game before, but curious to see what everyone is talking about since the Amazon show

signed up to Game Pass for a month to give Fallout 4 a try

a couple of hours in... not sure I'm getting it yet, but I'll give it a little longer

The wallpaper in the office here is a list of patents - with the patent number, title, and inventors names.

I’ve been looking to see if I can spot where it repeats, but so far can’t find it!

Finally got around to watching "Everything Everywhere All At Once" and inflicted it on Amy and Grace.

I loved it, but I perhaps didn't prepare them for how weird it was gonna be

@sldrant aww... I haven't seen that in years - that was an amazing movie

@Edent hope you make it this year! I remember only seeing you on a big screen last time 😢

I finished a new feature on this week - adding an option for students to store their own training data, instead of on my servers.

I try and develop the site in the open, so here's another update on the thinking that went behind this feature.

Brussel sprouts on a burger. “Christmas” is no excuse ;-)

I have a new Wordle max streak - completed wordle for 122 consecutive days.

I think at this point, we can officially call it a habit

I found this story fascinating. The usage of AI in education is always interesting, but it's not the AI aspect that jumped out at me.

A math curriculum taught through playing the piano is a fascinating idea.

I love (and can totally believe) that the use of music can make measurable benefits to student outcomes in maths.

So few people come into the office on a Friday that Friday work has a very different vibe.

I think I kind of like it though... it's a quieter and maybe more focused end to the week.

@sldrant I worked in a mostly-remote working-from-home team last year, and I found it so isolating and depressing. Part of the reason I joined my current team was that almost all of them are in the office most days.
This might be the exception more than the norm nowadays though!

This looks intriguing - it's sort of like (and also from MIT), but reimagined for a world of mobile apps.

Dinner in a motor museum for the second time in six months… apparently eating near to old cars is a thing I do now 🤔

I love that I can check when the last time was without having to resort to the bird site.

first day back in the office after a week away, which means a chance to check on my pigeons... they've grown up so much in a week!

The pigeon eggs on the ledge next to my desk have hatched! 🪺

It's very sweet - their necks aren't strong enough to hold up their heads... 🥹

In London - drove G to her new uni house, with a (packed!) car load of her stuff. Strange feels! 🥹

Loving what I’m now thinking of as our new office pet: a pigeon that has started building a nest on the ledge next to my desk

In her new nest. I say “nest”. Small pile of twigs really.

Arriving at work late today after needing to make a detour on my usual walk… because I don’t know how to say “excuse me” in cow

Many cows, right in front of the gate I normally walk through

I just deleted 15 Twitter accounts. Time to move on.

@andypiper I've been edging closer to doing this every day... feels inevitable but still can't bring myself to click the button. 😢

the public archive idea is a nice one - I hadn't seen that tool before, so thanks for sharing that
