London Calling

I currently type from aboard an LNER to Leeds; yesterday I was in London for the BFI T&DT away day. Having been bitten by the bug for blogging I found Giles Turnbull's talk on doing weeknotes invigorating—particularly, the idea that you can write stuff like this in seasons. Deciding I'm going to write three blog posts over three weeks feels more achievable than writing one post a week forever (-ever (-ever (-ever...))).

More things I learnt:

• OKRs are not a recent trend but invented in the 1980s at Intel
• I can't remember watching any film that came out in 2024
• The "Fist to Five" consensus method - which sounds like an inverse of Planning Poker

Other stuff

• 🂠 After about 20 years I'm returning to Pokémon cards. Having built a deck from scratch my pathetic critters were absolutely trounced by my brother
• 💿 I'm listening through my old CD collection, and contemplating my escape from Spotify
• 🎹 I've started learning piano at Leeds's recently refurbished music library
