Sweet Bird of Truth and the Silver Bridge
I woke up yesterday to the most amazing email: no sales pitch, no agenda - just a very nice chap called Carlos who had written to tell me we are at Position 139 in the Saudi Arabian podcast chart for Technology.
I know, right!
As a musician, if anyone had told me back when I was in original bands we were 139th in anything I’d have been chuffed. So I am. Now, I am not about to go and find out how many technology podcasts there actually are in Saudi Arabia, obviously; I am just going to take the win and move on. Anyway, thank you Carlos for making our day over here in The D.A.M. Project shed.
The Wall it Doth Approach
On the repair front there are changes afoot. There’s been a little fog (cannabis) and rubble (alcohol) starting to kick around my head over the last 12 hours, so one can only assume I am approaching “the wall” quicker than I actually thought. I’m not bothered; the quicker it’s here the quicker I’m back out the other side - off my head on freshly released naturally rewarded dopamine. Bring it on, I say.
The “Filing System” is coming online nicely, too. I have a bank of articles ready to go for when the anhedonia kicks in and I hit the skids quicker than Peter Mandelson getting hustled out of the House of Lords. I mean, honestly, anyone who knows anything about British politics knew about “Slippery Pete” - it’s not news.
Although, if you’re still relying on the BBC for fair and balanced output, then it probably is news to you. It’s certainly not news to the rest of us and definitely not to the toolmaker’s son. Don’t worry Keir, we all know your Dad made tools. The Overton window has never been more see-through, seriously.
The Eleven Protocol outdoors
Not much else to report, really. It was a quiet sort of weekend, although I did go up to the Silver Bridge at Garve to get some waterfall footage for the TikTok channel. I nearly fell in because, even though I had said to myself, “I’d better put my boots on,” there I was in my good shoes.
I did notice while I was there, however, just how soothing to the soul I found the sound of rushing water to be. I have already spoken about the Hydro Continuum, but it was nice to feel it working while I was out and about.
The march to the wall continues unabated; but with boots on.
