Sunday Scraps #120

Back in the UK on Monday so these might still be orange blossom scented as I’m still in Greece.

It’s been almost 20 years since I saw Martin Butler‘s The Girlfriend Experience and I wonder how you might recreate it today / going to have to buy this book on the history of home economics / the story of the dala horse and how it developed is fascinating / I watched a Figma Make tutorial and it’s as if you’d asked me to learn Autocad through keyboard shortcuts alone without touching the mouse / blog posts about the illusion of software as driving the world or digital experiences as headless still leave me thinking that none of this is explainable to your grandmother / having lived in Kuwait in the 80s and 90s, their recent immigration clampdown comes as no surprise at all / I need to put a health hat on from Tuesday when I start my new job so probably going to add The Citadel (1937) to my reading list / 58% of business coaching clients and 72% of coaches are women so I’m starting to think of it as another pink tax / finally it would be great if AI ‘brain fry’ helped men understand women’s well documented invisible labour and cognitive load but I fear I might be pushing things a little too far.

In work news, I prepped for next week’s 153rd London Internet of Things Meetup , ran a couple of interviews for a friend who is looking at the future of her business, chaired a Mediale board meeting and was interviewed for a voluntary role.

Otherwise, I was mostly swimming, hiking and eating Greek village bread. 🍞
