The below is transcribed from a 1991 talk by John Cleese titled Creativity in Management. I encourage you to watch the 30-minute recording on YouTube. The delivery is hilarious with great comedic timing that my transcript can’t begin to do justice. I edited the transcript for brevity, and added headings and links. What creativity isn’t A couple of years ago I got very excited because a friend of mine, who runs the psychology depar..

Identity crisis I’m at the waiting room at the doctor’s office. It’s a big space, the entryway to a health center, maybe 50 feet long with lots of couches. I’m sitting at the far end, one of around ten people waiting for their appointments. A nurse comes out from a door on the other end of the waiting room and calls the next patient. “David?” All ten people look at her. I stand up. So does the man across from me, and another ..
2025 was an amazing year for me, and I hope it was great for you too! I thought it would be cool to compile my 2025 highlights in a more personal blog post. This, just like many parts of this website, was inspired by Tania Rascia. Offline I finally moved to Belo Horizonte, the state capital. That’s something I was planning for so long. I’m in love with the neighborhood I live in, and with having trees outside my office window..
I Finally Understand Nostalgia 27 Mar, 2026 I grew up with Harry Potter. I was roughly the same age as Harry at the time of the book releases, which meant there was a lot I could identify with. I visualized Hogwarts, Hogsmeade, and all the other magical places in my head while reading, and watched them come to life in the movies a few years later. I remember summer holidays where my parents wanted to go on d..
This weekend was OggCamp 2026, a community run conference on open source, open data, and open culture. I always find OggCamp a bit hard to define, as it covers a mix of very techy talks (talks on new languages, devops tools, etc.), has a strong societal impact focus (the UK's Open Rights Group are there every year), and increasingly welcoming to where technology intersects with art and design. Add to that there's usually a mix of both hardw..
The Big Idea: Georgia Summers Writing a novel doesn’t just involve sitting hunched over a computer typing away for hours, sometimes it involves wandering through Nordic forests that feel a little spooky, but also extremely magical. Author Georgia Summers went on a journey to craft her newest novel, Trollheim: Tale of Sýstir. Tag along through her Big Idea to see the forest and all it holds. GEORGIA SUMMERS: I’ve found that th..
I've had this idea for a while. People have wanted a place to be social with their Twitch community, and since Elon purchased Twitter, the communities have split. A lot of people left Twitter and moved to Threads or Bluesky. Many streamers have stayed on Twitter because companies are still posting potential opportunities. I left Twitter, but I see opportunities show up that I wish I could apply to. I created a new account, just for tho..

The year is 2025. You’re writing tests for networking code in your Swift app. You could hit the live API, but then your tests are slow, flaky, and fail whenever that third-party service has a bad day. You could stub URLSession, but then you’re maintaining two implementations of your networking layer. You could maintain JSON fixtures by hand, but there’s no way to capture real response… This random indieblog.p..
This has spoilers for MIT Mystery Hunt 2026. Spoilers are not labeled or hidden. Mystery Hunt is a funny time of year. Your friends and family know you’re traveling to Boston in the middle of winter, and that it’s a big event of some kind, but they don’t quite understand how big it is, how much people plan for it, and how much time goes into creating it. Although Hunt ostensibly takes place over a weekend, I find it takes up mi..

I don't respect the judgement of people who supported the illegal Anglo-American invasion of Iraq in 2003 and that includes Andy Burnham.Of course it's worse if they defend the unprovoked . illegal US actions against Venezuela and Iran or the threats to Cuba. People who do support the Americans dismiss international law as hot air but if it's just vaporising why did England and France go to war with Germany twice last century and why do mos..

Russia seeks to strengthen military-technical ties with India. use them to strengthen the same with their shared partners. profit accordingly amidst the West’s sanctions. gently balance Iran like it balances China through earlier such sales to the Philippines. and thus flexibly adapt to multipolarity.

What in God’s name has happened to our youth. Not all of them. not yet—but the affliction is spreading fast. What contagion has taken hold. I could name a dozen. but the one that troubles me most—and the one that flows from all the others—is the loss of depth. By that I mean the quiet …
