I do enjoy a bit of recursion.
Today I was at the Bo’ness Hippodrome, a building with a good claim to be Scotland’s oldest known purpose built cinema. Every time I give a talk there I get a photo of the same slide of the previous talk on screen. So this is now me presenting the Hippodrome on screen at the Hippodrome on screen at the Hippodrome on screen at the Hippodrome.

Inspired by a combination of receiving my copy of @mwichary Shift Happens, and the old tech backdrop that @chrisphin has, I’ve rooted around in my loft to create my own approximate classic tech that is meaningful or inspired me display in my newly reorganised office.
Imperial 200 portable typewriter, BBC Master 128, Macintosh SE, Apple eMate, iPod (with iPod Sock) & original iPhone.

Very excited to report my copy of #shifthappens has made it to Scotland in pristine condition - looks gorgeous. Can’t wait to get stuck into it @mwichary @glennf
Plus, it’s only thanks to the Gorton Perfected sampler I realised the signage souvenirs I took from my academic career when I left nearly 15 years ago are actually engraved Gorton! Always something new to learn 😀

25 punters braved a damp December afternoon in the gathering gloom to explore the remains of the Glasgow Garden Festival 1988 with me and the rest of the After the Garden Festival team - Lex Lamb & Kenny Brophy.
Thanks to @dcrooks for the pics!

Fun fact - tonight’s live #albaceilidh on @bbcalba is coming from the former Govan Town Hall - amazing B-listed building & the filming location of the interior of the Big Hub from @CBeebiesHQ show Mollie & Mack!
Turn over and watch it now…
Finally the day has come. After years of deliberately avoiding it, my 9 yr old daughter *asked to watch Doctor Who* after seeing Ncuti Gatwa on Newsround.
We watched the 2023 Christmas Special together and she loved it! She is now annoyed…
