20 years ago I cobbled together a #WorldCup calendar site to demo Microformats.
This year I've done it again: 104 games across the USA, Canada & Mexico, all in one ICS feed.

This year's edition was a proper data challenge (FIFA originally published fixtures as PDF) but #Claude helped me pull it all together.

Free to use, open source, works in any calendar app 📅

Are there any accents you love to hear and why?

I always find Liverpool / scouse accents so cheerful and uplifting. But I am also fond of our local Brummie roots, quite humble and endearing.

Does anyone else find school parents group chats a toxic culture?

I have to bite my (digital) tongue sometimes but I rarely see them used for good or beneficial reasons. It’s either reselling old clothes, moaning about the school or pointless rambling.

I just join and mute now.

Why would #Apple put cameras in AirPods?

They've invested heavily in hearing aids recently. The next natural step is visual aids too - convenient, discreet and already in your ears.

AI image recognition makes this a no-brainer.

Will AI video kill the podcast star? 🤩

With the rise of AI generated content and Apple Podcasts & Amazon Music finally supporting “proper” podcast video (ie. HLS), should we be worried about the future of the medium or is it just hyperbole?

TIL about Spotify Page Match for syncing paper books with their audiobook position.

Now I can listen to a book whilst out walking then pick up where I left off back in the book later.

This is where I’m up to with Mustafa Suleyman’s Coming Wave for tomorrow’s dog walk.

Game changer!
