A 3D Printed model hill, made up of several individual sections. It is a dark green, and sits in a messy grey work surface. Told and bric-a-brac are visible behind it and to the side

Time to rouse the 3D printer from it's (brief) slumber
Well this just won't do; I'm nearly out of my green flock mix

Makes me lol when apps try to persuade you to turn on push notifications with the promise to “never miss a notification”. My dude, missing notifications is the whole point. Missing notifications is my joie de vivre.
Following the launch of Claude Code, US GitHub code pushes were 30% above the pre-2025 trend.
Similarly iOS app releases were up 55% vs last January, and new website registrations rose 34% year over year globally after years of flatlining.

I suddenly started having an allergic reaction to oat milk, around this time last year. I’d been drinking it for years prior to that. Bodies are weird!

Graphic from the International Cricket Council Men's World Cup showing a map of Scotland and information about it including the "fact" that it has 5.5 billion people (and it's capital is Edinburgh, region Europe, language English, and ranking 14th)

And most of them live in Scotland 🏴

Wondering where the sunshine has gone?
Spare a thought for northeast Scotland; Aberdeen Dyce hasn't recorded any sunshine since 21 January! This is provisionally the longest sunless period here since records began in 1957 ☁️

Spending 4+ hours on Sunday afternoon writing a blog post (https://chrismcleod.dev/blog/my-changing-media-landscape/) only about 3 people will read? Sure, why not? It’s the blogger’s dilemma

I really like the AP drybrushes. I probably use mine more than my Artis Opus set. Just a warning though: my shed like crazy for the first session or two - might have been just mine, but something to watch for

YouTube gave me a video of “120 songs turning 30 in 2026”, and yeah, 1996 was a banger year for music
