  Exciting! Jean-Michel Jarre’s groundbreaking Oxygene turns 50 this year, and to celebrate its birthday a Dolby Atmos remaster is being released on the 20th of November! Part 1 is available to listen to now on Apple Music and, by golly, this works really, really well spatially! #music https://music.apple.com/gb/album/oxyg%C3%A8ne-50th-anniversary-remastered-edition/6816011429

  When I went back to Baghdad in 2024, a friend gifted me a handmade candelabra for some reason 😅 It’s been sat in our living room empty since then. The other day, my wife decided to get some LED candles for it. I’ve never seen these before, but they look so realistic it’s a bit freaky. They even gently flicker too! She picked the colours to match the very first crochet blanket I made, which is why she’s the best wife if you ask me 😅 BONUS: that framed flower was picked and dried and framed by...

  I didn’t plan it but the yarn pattern on these socks has lined up perfectly. Very satisfying ☺️ #knitting

  Way before TED talks made slide-less presentations popular, I realised that no one cares about slides so whenever I’ve had to present or teach or whatever, I never use slides. It also forces the audience to actually look at you and listen 😅

  It’s that time of the year where one can wear the socks and use the blankets one made. 😍 🍂 #knitting #crochet

  I still think the #AtariST had the greatest mouse design! It was the king from 1985 until 2000, where it was only beaten 15 years later by the original Microsoft IntelliMouse Optical.

  I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I’ve always found nine inch circular #knitting needles to be hilariously endearing 😂

  No matter how many times I see them, I always find empty hospital corridors to be very haunting.

  Not gonna lie, the new iOS 27 photo cleanup options are finally worth while. They were shit before this. Slow though. This video is twice the actual speed. #apple #ios27

  Decided to cast on the second sock in this pair. I made the first one ages ago to test a heel pattern, but didn’t make the second one as I had other priority stuff to make. I wonder if I can finish it before the end of #finishorfrogalong… #knitting

  Slightly cheat-y #finishorfrogalong because I started this yesterday and finished it today 😅 I’ve been wearing my #crochet lanyard at work this week and so far I’ve had to make two of them for colleagues 😅 Genuinely considering selling these now, at work and online, I’m told £10 is a reasonable price.

  Wow. This BYTE Magazine visual archive is stunning. It’s every single page, from the cover of the first issue to the back page of the last, fully zoomable and readable. Oh and fully searchable too! Stunning. I still remember the January 1982 issue that a friend had, it was announcing the new IBM PERSONAL COMPUTER… https://byte.tsundoku.io/ #retrocomputing #retrocomputers #PC #bytemagazine #byte

  Right then, for the first time this year I’m gonna join in with #FinishOrFrogAlong, because for the first time I’ve broken my cardinal monogamy rule of one #knitting and one #crochet WIP at a time, because reasons! So here’s what’s in progress and what the plan is, clockwise from the top left: 1\ a german short row heel sock. This was cast on because my wife dared me to and I should’ve known better 😅 Anyway, I finished one sock and said I won’t do the other until everything else is finished!...

  Quick #yarn question: According to J&S, one of these is “blue” and the other is “sky blue.” Which is which in your opinion? I think they’ve got it the wrong way round, and so does my wife 😅 Their opinion is in the alt text. As a bonus: my #finishorfrogalong #knitting jumper is going well! I just finished round 17 of 29 of the yoke pattern, I’m hoping to finish the whole thing by next weekend. Wish me luck!

  As of today, Thursday the 3rd of September 2026, there are only 3 more #nintendo #amiibos announced that are yet to be released. Please, Nintendo, for the love of gaming, stop releasing the damn things. I have no space left.

  Hey Siri, show me an example of a big waste of packaging. Scissors for scale. 🙄

  Quick #knitting tip apropos of nothing: If you’re making stranded colour work in the round, turn your work inside out so your floats are on the outside of the piece. The floats will naturally take a longer route around the circumference, hence avoiding the dreaded puckering that we’ve all heart-breakingly suffered from.

  I DEMAND A REFUND 😒😒😒😒 How do we all feel about knots from the factory? They bother me for no reason. I just don’t like them. If I was using this for knitting, I’d have to cut it and join it again without a knot 😅 #crochet #knitting #yarn
