New toy…
Lovely morning down by the Adur as I walked home this morning.
Here’s one from the archives - that’s me on the left, taking a photo of the chief scout, during the 75th anniversary of scouting celebrations in 1982.
Seeing this magazine on sale in my local newsagent is odd. I associate it so strongly with my Mum and my childhood, it seems almost incomprehensible that it’s still going so long after she died. A silly reaction, I know.

Here’s a soothing 20 seconds of beach life for you…
Got up at stupid o’clock this morning to catch a train and attend the launch of the Reuters Institute Digital News Report this morning. It was worth it.
Here are my liveblogged notes from the event.
Great Micro Monday @hollyhoneychurch and @macgenie (catching up on a commute). Thanks. Thinking a lot about the time period challenges.

MailOnline’s traffic absolutely brutalised by Google algorithm update.
Let the jokes commence.
So, um, the answer to “Fake News" might have been available the whole time… in Finland?
Further evidence that I’m turning into a grumpy old man of the interwebs: Writing about the internet is no excuse for not doing your research
Working on a Friday, unusually, due to a day swap with my wife. Throughly dreich out there today, so working seems better…
What’s bringing you joy this morning, people of micro.blog?
“It’s become a truly distinct experience. It’s not an iPhone experience. It’s not a Mac experience. The name is a recognition of that.”
Music to iPad fans’ ears…
