I love the Björk: Sonic Symbolism podcast. It brings back so many memories from my time in London.
The Happiness Lab (in random) and leadership podcasts are also great.
Leadership
Ep - 12 - How do I grow a culture of empowerment? feat. Meri Williams (ex-CTO Monzo, MOO, Healx) [Podcast] - first part of the interview which I really liked.
The Habits of Purposeful Leaders: How to Build Systems of Productivity & Improvement (with Mike Murchison, CEO of Ada) [Podcast] - balance between sync and async, what kind of leadership meetings make sense, what a leadership team is and what not
The myth of tech excellence in tech leadership - it depends
The Coach and the Fixer - another good one from Rands
The people who hire me ask me to help their teams make changes. Most of the time, my first step is to see how I can slash those teams' load. [Twitter Thread] - if you want to move, you need space
Technology
monomorph - pack shell code into a file with always the same MD5 checksum
Bash 5.2 released - new command substitution code with better errors
Getty bans AI-generated art due to copyright concerns - I am worried about this too.
Work
GOOGLE Safari Themed Environment - I know we don't do offices any more, but I would like a Land Rover in my office please or any of the offices designed by Muse & Co
'Wednesday plus one' & the 4-day week [Podcast] - two experiences with hybrid and four-day weeks.
Environment
Catalan health department plans law to ban smoking outside schools and on terraces - thank you!
Urbanism
Hawaii’s Suburban Experiment [Podcast] - how Hawaii got infected by suburban sprawl
Can the Best US Bike Cities Compete with Europe? [YouTube] - no
parkulator - display area taken up by parking in cities (Barcelona is pretty good, Andorra la Vella not so much)
Menos coches. Menos edificios modernistas. Más ciudades para la gente [Spanish] - interview with Jan Gehl architect / urbanist.
Random Friends
The Secret to Making Friends as an Adult [Podcast] - you have to invest a lot of time and be lucky
The future of hip-hop: New York [Podcast] - this is a great series exploring the influence of women and queer artists in hip-hop
Move to Your Happy Place [Podcast] - that's what I did
Björk: Sonic Symbolism [Podcast] - series of podcasts with Björk looking into her back catalogue. I enjoy this travel into the past.
A message about Stadia and our long term streaming strategy - Stadia is going away and Google is refunding all money
Spain plans ‘digital nomad’ visa scheme to attract remote workers - I hate these schemes and digital nomads
Stichflamme Dormagen – Tape only [German] - cassette revival, the German perspective
The best cassette players for home listening - for some reason, they never include Sonys.
Ill-fated Spanish village poised to be destroyed a third time - my initial reaction was: just leave them be, but they are building in protect areas, which is illegal. There are enough empty villages around where this is not the case.
