Bandcamp wrapped
I still use Bandcamp almost exclusively to buy music, and keep a big library of MP3s. The downside is that this marks me as a weirdo, but otherwise it’s great and has been working well for me.
Since I last wrote about it, Bandcamp was acquired by Epic games (?) and then acquired from them by Songtradr, and its employees are trying to get recognized as a union. Times are changing and Bandcamp is no longer a lovely indie company, but it’s still a heck of a lot better than Spotify.
People (who?) are sharing their ‘Spotify wrapped’ auto-generated compilations and I wanted the same, for my Bandcamp purchases,...

The relentless churn of London’s districts and histories continues as backdrop to our day to day experience. Step off your habitual pathways for just a moment and discover redrawn environments that jump cut the geography of your mind map.
A recent derive around City of London confirmed just how extraordinary a phenomenon this is in light of the post pandemic exodus and uncertainty for the future of work. Many international insurance companies, banks and mega corporations extracted themselves to country retreats with little trace but the now vacant floors throughout the city.

Rooted
Fourth Portal is the hybrid event space as defined by South Londoner John McKiernan. His energy and insights succesfully highlight social enterprise and community ingenuity at the heart of your local town. It’s key to unlocking value in the sense of purpose and human value embedded with acknowledgement of qualities in each other we so easily take for granted.
John is celebrating experiences gained during a decade activating spaces in coastal towns and has been sharing conclusive evidence of these experiences at the most recent portal space based in the St Andrews chapel at Gravesend Thameside over 18 months.

Anyway, what’s up? October was all right. At Val Town, we spent a lot of time interviewing job candidates and improving the AI assistant, Townie. I also got some time to tackle long-awaited technical debt cleanups:...
