Some photos from my night of Italian food and English theatre.


“Much Ado About Nothing” at Shakespeare’s Globe.


Why do tape measures always have a very distinctive smell?


There’s a session drummer named Steve Gadd who looks awfully like George Clooney.


This ad I saw is from 2007.


The restaurant I made a reservation at lets me upload a photo of myself so they can greet me by name when I arrive. I haven’t seen anything like that before.

I’m going to give it a whirl. And if they do greet me by name this is how I’m going to feel.


Morning all ☀️ I don’t know about you lot, but my sun is gorgeous this morning.


I’ve written about how media companies keep on underestimating the value of new technologies. imlefthanded.com/2024/from…


“Air” is about the creation of Air Jordan shoes at Nike. It’s silly and corny, but very enjoyable.

Moving along at a quick, fun pace and feels a bit like an Adam McKay film at times.

This is also quite the ‘Dad film’ (another one for Matt Damon, after Ford v Ferrari).

You might have missed “Air”. But you should correct that, as it’s a great way to spend 111 minutes and very much worth a watch. It’s hard to dislike it.

Also: are you ever unsatisfied by the “where are they now” segment at the end of “based on a true story” film, when they don’t go into enough detail? Well this delivers in this department.

After “Air” you should watch:

  • The Last Dance, a documentary about Michael Jordan.
  • BlackBerry, another ‘business film’. It’s another solid film you might have missed..
