Hi, I’m Alan.
In case you’ve missed my last 2 decades on social media, I’m a total car nerd, particularly about the Toyota Yaris, but I also cycle and enjoy hiking.
Trains, buses and public transport/transit are cool too and I think all those should be cleaner, more frequent and cheaper.
Oh no! 😟
There's a new Smith and Sniff out today because it's a Monday, but it's not a recording of last week's Glasgow live show because we messed up and it wasn't recorded. Shame, it was a fun show. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/s...

We are at an airport restaurant. A robot just drove up to us with our food, said, "Hi! Here I am!" and then drove away with our food.

I hate to disrespect the Slow Horses but Reform UK is basically becoming Slough House for failed Tories.

Complaining about the cost of stamps makes me old, right?

I had to have a sneaky cheat as I’m learning that I don’t know some parts of the world very well at all.
(If you asked me to point at this city on a map I could get close, but reverse engineering that is hard.)

I have the music from “The Gallery” section of Tony Hart’s programmes in my iTunes favourites, and it always makes me smile when it comes on.

I could picture the range, but I always get confused by which model is which in said range.

The inconsiderates who never get mentioned are those who leave their basket at the self service tills with the handles crossed over. Worse than shoplifters.

This is what I see in responsible enterprises.
It’s not the same vision that’s being touted by solution vendors and AI-vangelists, or that’s being reported by the tech press. It’s far more nuanced, and involves much more control over who and what.
PwC somehow more lucid on AI and education than most university leaders these days

It’s a fire hose of stupidity, isn’t it? 🤦‍♂️
Trump: "If you look at some of these cars, they didn't even work. They had computers all over the place trying to save half an ounce of fuel. We have fuel for the next 500 to 1,000 years under our feet."

Ummm…
This just appeared as part of an eBay ad on Instagram.
I’m scared to click, so can any of you tell me what it is?

C4 should commission a programme where three geeks reprogram the computers that run modern cars to do all sorts of weird driving madness. Obviously, only drive those cars on tracks, not public roads. It would inspire a million kids to code.
