This was an excellent week including the TIIME un conference itself as well as excellent side meetings.

Lucky enough to see her play at the Greenman Fetsival a year or two back - sublime. https://social.spejset.org/@540/114886328942562997

TIIME Unconference – Trust and Internet Identity Meeting Europe

Tonight’s delightful entertainment was “A Shaun the Sheep Movie: Farmageddon” (on iPlayer)

Beautifully observed and executed. Heartwarming.
And a whole spaceship load of excellent references.

From last week, I was very glad I was able make time to see “Saul Leiter: An Unfinished World” at FOAM while I was in Amsterdam while I was there.

Many thanks to @annebillson.bsky.social for highlighting it.

On for another two months. Highly recommended.

I am back in Urbana, IL just for a couple of days. Just coming up to 25 years since I moved away.

I was able to join a joyous celebration of a dear friend’s round numbered birthday.

It amazes (and delights) me that my connections here have continued here over that time.
