Day 2 of #fixfest about to kick off. Already had a great evening social talking about preservation, archives, memories, learning, communities, access and power. Everything is connected.

Today's #recordstoreday pickups (except Forbidden Planet). But best bit was getting pushed to go by #son1 for the first time, and experiencing that early morning #rsd queue rush.

Some great charts picked out by FT's "Inside Politics" newsletter yesterday. Here's one showing YouGov's poll rating the various party leaders as Prime Minister.

Get in there, Lib Dems.
Bar chart showing who respondents think would make a better prime minister between each party leader. Keir Starmer is top. Ed Davey is generally second. Nigel Farage and Kemi Badenoch are equal third.

Been tweaking the balance on my latest #playdate game but can't upload it while gamejam judging is in progress :(

Here's the new minimalist cover screen anyway...
Mostly dark image with a thin edge of a crescent moon and the title "The place where the moon once was", along with a "Play on playdate" logo.

This #playdate #pulp game is coming together for the @uncrankdpd.bsky.social winter jam, I think.

Find your way through a series of mazes while your lamplight dwindles, to rescue your sibling and the moon. 'The Place Where the Moon Once Was' should be released later today over at scribe.itch.io

Absolutely gutted to head along to Ubu Books in #Brighton Open Market for a lunchtime browse today and find flower tributes instead of the usual bookshelves. RIP.
Photo of a closed metal shutter, with a large photo of Mark the Ubu Books bookseller propped against it, and a variety of flower tributes left behind alongside.

Thoroughly enjoying "True Clown Stories", the new and often disturbing release to pop through my letterbox from @orbific.bsky.social

New photo project "Invisible Labour" just published. Each breath is a photo. Each photo is a breath.

Tried putting it into my games console sheet but ...
Bar chart showing power usage of different games consoles compared to the new Dell server rack. The server rack has a large bar, and everything else is too small to see.

Some solid Saturday morning nostalgia and mapping, starting my second run-through of the Fighting Fantasy book "Assassins of Allansia".

Earlier. A few moments to myself, with a good coffee, my favourite pen, and a blank piece of paper to plan out the future.

A gritty black and white photo of Senate House, a large, monolithic building from the 1930s. Photo of the BT tower in London, lit up vaguely by neon pink and crimson, half-hidden by fog.

Yesterday's photowalk yielded some pleasing results after being run through the lab. This project ties in long exposures, the moments of breathing, and the path of life.
