Went for a nice walk in the countryside. ’Twas lovely to have the company of fellow humans like @Clagnut, @ChrisHow, and @CassieCodes.

A Rare Smile Captured in a 19th Century Photograph | Open Culture

I wrote a while back about one of my favourite photographs but this might just give it a run for its money.

It was only near the end of the 19th century that shutter speeds improved, as did emulsions, meaning that spontaneous moments could be captured. Still, smiling was not part of many cultures. It could be seen as unseemly or undignified, and many people rarely sat for photos anyway.

O-o-dee of the Kiowa tribe in traditional dress with a heartwarming smile on her face in a photograph over 100 years old.

Very grateful to have a nice little back garden where I can eat lunch, especially in lovely weather like this.

Popped into W.H. Smiths on the way into work to pick up a copy of @NetMag: I wrote this month’s cover story.

(More importantly, there’s a feature on @A_Adewusi and a Q&A with @LauraKalbag!)

I moderated two panel discussions on product design at a @Clearleft event in London yesterday morning.

I loved it!

Union

The nation I live in has decided to impose sanctions on itself. The government has yet to figure out the exact details. It won’t be good.

Today marks the day that the ironically-named Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland officially leaves the European Union. Nothing will change on a day to day basis (until the end of this year, when the shit really hits the fan).

Looking back on 2019, I had the pleasure and privelige of places that will remain in the European Union. Hamburg, Düsseldorf, Utrecht, Miltown Malbay, Kinsale, Madrid, Amsterdam, Paris, Frankfurt, Antwerp, Berlin, Vienna, Cobh.
