This week I have learned:
- how nice it was to meet up with a bunch of people I worked with at the BBC some 20 years ago. We’ve all got a little bit older, but nobody has really changed that much. It was a delight to catch up on what we’ve been doing, reminisce about the past, and simply be together.
- building web apps is becoming a bit of an obsession. It’s remarkably freeing to be able to knock things up that can test an idea. It’s also remarkable what you can do in a browser these days.
- like this one, for example: https://randomthebook.com/2025/06/02/rng/
- I’m still amid proposal-writing. Should hear next week about a few of them, one way or another.
- Today marks three years since I started at Equal Experts. Still the best career choice I’ve made in 25 years.
The week in media:
Listened:
Continuing my mission to listen to the whole of the Rolling Stone 500 Greatest Albums of All Time, I’m up to 104 of them (randomly selected)
I also received my monthly vinyl selection. This month’s quartet includes the new one from Stereolab, LCD Soundsystem’s Sound of Silver, St. Vincent’s Masseduction, and Michael Kiwanuka’s Kiwanuka.

Nearly done with The Haunted Wood. Enid Blyton had a racy backstory.

Nearly done with Race Across the World, and also watched the movie Judy on iPlayer.
