So, a bit of weird synchronicity happened today. The Eldest played their first ever live gig, using a laptop and a controller (after being postponed yesterday).
I got home and my cloud storage account was saying I was low on space so went to clean up a bit and found this video. It is from the day I introduced them to Ableton and using a controller, aged 8 (13 years ago). Literally day one of their music making journey.
I saw them onstage today, cross legged on the floor in front of an audience with virtually the same kit, playing music from their soul. Life is fucking weird sometimes but this truly happened.
(Funnily enough, the Lego in shot is also one of their greatest passions still).

I came back not long ago from a visit to #SandyPark, #Exeter's main #Rugby ground. It's one of the ones hosting the Women's #RugbyWorldCup and today there were two back-to-back matches between #NewZealand vs #Japan followed by #France vs #Brazil. There was good atmosphere and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves.
Here are the flags laid out prior to the first match.
#NewZealand's women's #RugbyTeam is know as the #BlackFerns and they have their own version of the #Haka which is ceremonially performed prior to each international match. It's impressive to see live.
The match was action packed though mostly one-sided with the #BlackFerns dominating after an impressive initial try by #Japan. It's not worth trying to capture the action in a mobile phone photograph but here are the teams during a #Scrum.
Win or Lose, the #Japan team always honours the crowd afterwards by going to each stand and bowing to the spectators. I think that's a nice touch showing mutual respect.

Letztes Jahr haben wir nach rund 15 Jahren unseres #Tech-Blogs erstmals ein bisschen #Apple-Feeling vor Ort im #VisitorCenter in #Cupertino wahrnehmen können. Was für uns das absolute Highlight wäre? Die #iPhone-#Keynote vor Ort miterleben zu dürfen. Davon abgesehen hat uns Apple eine Einladung zum #iPhone17-Event geschickt, allerdings nur zur Online-Teilnahme per #Livestream.

Why the Transistor Radio Was Actually the First Smartphone (And What That Teaches Us About Digital Transformation)
Before we had smartphones creating personal media bubbles, teenagers in the 1950s were doing the exact same thing with transistor radios.
They'd escape to their bedrooms, tune into rock and roll (that parents hated), and discover pirate radio stations broadcasting rebellion from ships offshore.
Sound familiar?
This isn't just tech nostalgia. It's a pattern that reveals something crucial about how technologies actually evolve—and why our current AI fears might be missing the point.
Radio didn't kill newspapers. TV didn't kill radio. The internet didn't kill any of them. They all found new ways to matter.
As Marshall McLuhan said: "The medium is the message." To understand what's happening in our digital age, we need to understand the media themselves—not just the content they carry.
New newsletter exploring this pattern and what it means for our hybrid analog-digital future 👇
What do you think? Are we repeating history or writing something entirely new?

The video features a small white rabbit with brown ears and black eyes, interacting with a person's legs on a grey couch. The person is wearing grey pajama pants and grey socks. The rabbit is seen nibbling on the person's sock and moving around their legs. The background includes a grey couch with a patterned cover, a Christmas tree, and a television displaying a colorful scene. The text "Надо казаться носки поменять)" is overlaid on the video, which translates to "It seems like the socks need to be changed)" in English. The rabbit appears curious and playful, hopping around the person's legs and eventually jumping off the couch onto the floor. The video captures the rabbit's movements and interactions with the person's legs, creating a cozy and festive atmosphere.

From Justin Miller: What began as a demand from on high (i.e. the Trump administration) and sparked a national partisan gerrymandering arms race, has become the new political reality now that Governor Greg Abbott signed House Bill 4 into law on Friday.

Is Fennec nonfunctional for anyone else?
I woke up one day and Fennec wouldn't browse any web page. Like, if I do a search, which goes to DuckDuckGo, I get a loading bar that never goes anywhere. (See screenshot).
If I disable all of my extensions, it'll work again. Then, if I enable them one by one to try to find the culprit that was making Fennec not work, it doesn't break! Until it does, randomly. I basically can't easily reproduce it working or not working.
I switched to IronFox, and installed all the same extensions, and have had no problems for two days.
