Spent yesterday with my Mum in the Forest of Dean, ticking "driving a steam train" off her bucket list.

Bonuses of the day were a behind the scenes tour around the workshop and yards. A signal box tour, and then we got to ride in the brake van while she drove the train. That was the best bit. Open air through the forest on a warm summers day.

I spent quite a lot time seeking out and taking photos of heritage typography and sign writing.

Heads up for people that make music.

There's one day left to get the "Samples from Mars" everything bundle for only $59. An absolute bargain. I have no affiliation with them, just sharing for the love.

Samples From Mars - No Compromise Hardware Samples

Samples From Mars is a sample label based in Brooklyn, NYC founded by producer / engineer Teddy Stuart. The team at SFM focuses on capturing vintage (and often rare) machines through high end hardware, consoles, tape machines and more, in order to create inspiring sample packs for modern DAWs and samplers.

Today is #HiroshimaDay, marking 80 years since the devastating atomic bombing. My song Paper Cranes documents an emotional visit to the peace museum and an encounter with a survivor. Today and every Aug 6, I’ll donate any profits to a Hibakusha charity. https://sitenonsite.bandcamp.com/album/hiroshima-ep

What is the best alternative to google meet? I want ad and big tech free, peer to peer video chat.

Adults in Britain can no longer type 5318008 into their calculator unless they send a copy of their ID to Casio to verify their age.

Doing brand and identity work this week, and using Affinity Designer properly for the first time. I like it but there are features I miss that illustrator had.

Resisting the urge to re-activate creative cloud is hard but I'm going to press on, it doesn't help that last time I logged into Adobe they were offering a full subscription for half price...

"Tim Je" made a website that uses AI to programmatically generate fake IDs of United Kingdom politicians.

You should never use something like this for UK Age Verification. That would be quite inappropriate ...

One thing I love about getting the train is England is paying £118.09 to stand up across almost the full length of Roman Britain whilst getting elbowed, barged and sighed at for 3 hours.

TOCs should pivot to BDSM-based advertising campaigns and really lean in to treating customers like shit.
