I wrote a tribute for BYTE Magazine's amazing cover artist, Robert Tinney, who died Feb 1st
Tinney painted 80 vivid and surreal covers illustrating various concepts in early personal computing from 1978-1990, usually airbrushed with gouache. May he RIP ❤️

Watching half pipe snowboarding from the winter Olympics and getting annoyed that the rotations are not given radians. 'Backside 5π' just sounds better.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.
Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology
She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

Signs of a new pub for #Porty. "Dougal's - an old man pub for all ages' it says in the window. This has previously been 'The Beaten Docket', which closed at the end of 2023.

I need at least 3 more folk to sign up for my Edinburgh Adult Education Programme archaeology classes at Craigentinny, or the course will be cancelled. If you know anyone who might be interested, please let them know. Thank you!

As a former South Morningside parent I'm really proud of the girls football team for winning an Edinburgh-wide tournament but even prouder that they stood up for themselves when presented with a tiny trophy in stark contrast to the one awarded to the winning boys

Girls football team win tiny plastic cup as boys take home full-size trophy
The cup paled into comparison to the grand old trophy presented to the winning boys football team.

Edinburgh LS have long since gone rogue. Continuous footways (with or without cycle tracks) done well is more complex than some would realise (because there are network-level issues) and we don't have UK guidance (yet).
However, too many folks concentrate on what they are against, but won't

📣 Parents. If cars make your walk or cycle to school feel unsafe, that's not okay.
Take action!
📷 We need your photos of the school run. The more people see how unsafe and unhealthy it is for our children - the more power we have.
DM your #schoolrun photos or tag us in a post. #streetsforkids

Given the recent announcements about the A9 dualling, I had a quick dig to see if a revised Outline Business Case had been published. Nothing recent that I can see, but I did spot a November 2023 version, released under an FoI request that I haven't seen before.

I have told this story before, but bringing it here. This street has footway parking on both sides which gives 1 metre of walking space beyond the lines. But, if drivers obey the markings, you can't get a car up the middle. Because residents kept getting tickets, I was asked to look at it. 1/n
