There’s plenty that is interesting in @emilyjwils article, but given that podcasting is global in scope, I do think it is a pity that the focus is entirely on the US – apart from one ex-pat thrillingly discovering banana biodiversity.

20/25 on Adactio’s Font or Food? quiz. Not too shabby.

Hear me, O @tavolamed, As a foolish person, who knows not my ward, I await the set form of words with which Curio Maximus will proclaim the time for holding the #Fornacalia, so that I may celebrate on the last day to which it can be postponed.

Agreed, kefir is a total doddle (though I don’t do any of the variations that other people do). I do feel bad when I don’t have anyone to give surplus grains to. Although yoghurt is more of a faff, it isn’t that difficult, especially with a good thermometer and a vacuum flask.

Ah, serendipity. To read, almost one after the other, David Sparks and Ben Werdmüller saying very similar things about the purpose of work. David had a great Walt Disney quote: “We don’t make movies to make money. We make money to make more movies.”
