Articles about tech deals are always near the top of Apple News. I guess people must click them? But I really have zero interest. This isn’t Groupon. https://t.co/WXOGVrxE0A

Just realised that my Duralex Picardie glass is now over 10 years old. It’s been nothing but a loyal friend and is truly indestructible. Buy one. https://t.co/DzWEmeEcKZ

By far the best ‘productivity tip’ I’ve discovered in recent years is: if a task takes less than five minutes just do it now.

The issue with all these digital news subs is that they only make financial sense for the consumer if they read them ‘cover to cover’. Which doesn’t make sense on the web where people dont exclusively read one newspaper, with their Twitter follows sending them all over the place.

Another day another newspaper paywall in my way. I’m not paying £32/mo to read just a couple of Financial Times articles a month. Please give me a cheaper option FT.
My dream though is a pay-per-article pricing scheme. It’s such a shame @Flattr never quite took off.

Spotify Connect has quietly become one of the best features of Spotify as it’s added more and more supported devices. It’s very easy to get music in every room now. They just need to work on grouping and audio syncing next. https://t.co/Z0rwxtc8C1

I really don’t like the Quartz-ification of web publications. Dynamic in the extreme. For example, you get to the bottom of a Techcrunch article and then poof it disappears. https://t.co/JIzEBDAREW

Oh dear. My muscle memory mugged me off and I accidentally put one of my mechanical watches on an Apple Watch charger and I’ve magnetised the poor thing.
I’ve turned a +1.4 second a day watch into a +8.6 one :( #CriesInSwiss

1/16. I will never read one of these Twitter ‘threads’ that are so common now. I’m not reading your life story across 16 individual Tweets. My 2006-lover-of-blogs self won’t allow it.
Post it somewhere appropriate and link to it, you little rugrats.

The year is 2087. Cancer is cured. Dementia is avoided via a yearly injection. Exoskeletons help the paralysed move once more. Gene editing ensures healthy babies. Robots put your socks on for you. Games are directly sent to your visual cortex. And BBC iPlayer is still only 720p.

I told my Mum that if she wanted to see more cute photos of whippets she could just type in ‘#whippet’ on Instagram.
She typed ‘hashtag whippet’ into Google.

Talking of booze and films, I’ve developed a Christmas eve tradition of getting as pissed as a newt and watching the truly terrible “The Christmas Candle”.
I’ve done it four years in a row now and will continue to do so until I die of prostate cancer at 68. That’s how it works.

“Filth” is also the only Christmas movie that improves if you watch it in a drunken state. (“Love Actually” and “The Holiday” are okay when drunk too, for some reason)
'Filth' is the proper alternative Christmas movie. Sod 'Die Hard'.

Though to be fair every single thing currently biding their time in my ‘books to read’ towers I can’t wait to read! Thomas Cromwell, Vietnam, Napoleon, Churchill, Fall of the British Empire, modern Russian dodginess, Christmas, alcohol, and several books on London.
