I’m turning into the bus stop of blogs.
You wait ages for a new post, and then two come along at once.
Following on from the post about the filter bubble of social media that I put up the other day, I thought it might be useful to […]
Depending on your viewpoint, at the time of writing this, we’re either 3 hours into a brave new world of national self-determination, or on the brink of a disaster, and if I were to base my entire world viewpoint on my Facebook feed, I’d assume it was the latter.

It’s been a while since I’ve blogged here. Mind you, it’s not the only place I move pixels around.

Orange Customer Services are unhelpful, truculent, dishonest robots with no concept of customer care. They’re not my favourite people at the moment.
