Discovered this morning, that spreading marmite on pão de queijo (Brazillian cheese bread) before baking turns them into round twiglets.

The other half was horrified...until she tasted them.

First skate as a 50 year old, and I've still got it, despite not skating much this year due to a broken toe in February.

This is still new enough that we can and should push back. DO NOT LET ANYONE NEAR YOU WHO HAS META'S RAYBAN GLASSES! It is an actively malicious move by an actively malicious company.

If you can't tell the difference between a Meta Rayban and a traditional Rayban... ban them both. Seriously. Rayban should suffer for going along with this just as much as Meta.

If you're an event, put it in your CoC.

BanRay.eu — Your face is not inventory

Meta sold seven million pairs of camera glasses. The people being filmed never consented. Ban them.

Back to work after spending the last week of my 40’s in Rio. One of my favourite cities. A place that is on the edge of chaos (in a good way).

We spent mornings at the beach, long lunches in local botecos, and boozy nights soundtracked to samba.

Not a bad view to wake up to.

Had a session of acupuncture today, followed by deep tissue massage. My back and neck have been broken for sometime.

While I'm a bit meh about the acupuncture bit, the massage has worked wonders. There's still some way to go to fix 25 years of bad posture. But I can at least feel progress.

Kids don't let this happen to you, buy a proper chair for work, and do some yoga once in a while. Future you will thank you for it.

Spent yesterday evening in the world's best No 24 cocktail bar (Tan Tan in Sao Paulo). I actually think it was better than No 4 (Paradiso in Barcelona) that we went to last September.

Highlight was a drink called Hello Sucker, think dirty martini crossed with a Bloody Mary in flavour profile. Pretty dam good.

Would recommend

But, quelle surprise! I now have to wait three weeks for my apple one account to expire before I'm able to change my region and address.

They're basically flipping users the bird at this point.

OK rant over...for now...

Trying to workout if that iOS 18 exploit is a ploy by Apple to get you to update to one of the worst UI's in history.

First impression are truly awful, the fucking switch/toggles are making me want to throw my phone in the bin and go back to a Nokia 3310.

The only saving "feature" if you can call it that, is now I'm pretty much forced to change my location/region to Spain - so I don't have do some age verification bullshit.

While trying to score some tickets for Gilberto Gil this weekend in São Paulo, I discovered he's also playing at the Roundhouse. Well I know where I'm going to be in July.
