I went down to Weymouth for a couple of days this week to see my mum. On Tuesday we drove over to Lulworth Cove for a coffee, picnic lunch on the beach and an ice cream. The first time (maybe) we went there was Easter 1973. It was quieter than Autumn half-term 2025, the parking … Continue reading Thursday, 30th October 2025 →

It seems that seventeen years ago today, I was in Berlin at the Web 2.0 Expo. Andrea Vascellari got some video of me asking Tim O’Reilly a question about online/offline relationships. In retrospect, there’s a lot of naivety and privilege in the air. I noted: the stories we’re telling are still more about technology than … Continue reading Wednesday, 22nd October 2025 →

I spent a couple of summers in the early eighties selling ice cream, chatting up the odd grockle and looking out over the sea to Portland. The other stream that I take to when I need to calm down a bit is NASA’s HD Views from the International Space Station Recent conversations about “the media”, … Continue reading Thursday, 16th October 2025 →

I'm taking part in a reading group for "Hospicing Modernity" with a particular focus on how the messages in that book might apply to churches and spiritual community. We're gathering once a month and the meetings are confidential (I don't think we've even agreed on using the Chatham House rule) but I'm only going to … Continue reading Wednesday, 15th October 2025 →

I'm glad to see that at least Dave B is reading this nonsense. I didn't get a pingback, though Dave, I saw it because I read your post via RSS. Is that deliberate? I don't remember how these things work. Maybe it's an artefact of the way your microposts are aggregated? Anyway. I agree with the … Continue reading Monday, 13th October 2025 →

I just sat for five minutes waiting for a call to start that isn't scheduled for another hour. That's the kind of me I've woken up with today! Happity Friday! Still pondering and burbling about rebooting/regrowing and this thing that to some is a living culture, to some is a media ecosystem, and to others … Continue reading Friday, 10th October 2025 →

I realised today that there's a lot of overlap between "Rebooting the Blogosphere" and "Regrowing a Living Culture". The Coffee Mornings that I'm doing at the moment have that latter tag line and the question is coming up for me of how to regrow living culture online as well as off. As a very bare … Continue reading Wednesday, 8th October 2025 →

I was just introduced to this use of the word 'palaver' to mean (in Africa) a way of bringing together a local community to creating social links and sometimes for conflict resolution. The notable characteristic of it being a meeting where everyone has a voice but is not obliged to tie their contribution up neatly … Continue reading Tuesday, 7th October 2025 →

Just saw an invitation to an Open Space “How do we protect and strengthen democracy in Europe?” My mind went immediately to how to protect democracy from those who will use elected office to make sure that democracy isn’t available any more. It’s not a simple thing. And that’s what makes it a good question … Continue reading Monday, 6th October 2025 →

Another Coffee Morning today. So much in it. I'd love to write a report, but it's all still whirring around in my head. The first woman to become Archbish of Canterblobs, recurrent references to Bob Dylan, yin and yang and the serenity prayer, substack isn't just problematic because of politics and them hassling you to … Continue reading Friday, 3rd October 2025 →

I’m not using it much, but a small step this week was resurrecting my presence on mastodon. I’m here now – @lloyddavis – this blog also has ActivityPub enabled so all posts are full-text published at the seemingly tortologous @perfectpath.co.uk@perfectpath.co.uk – I still don’t fully understand how it works, I’ve just flipped a switch, so … Continue reading Thursday, 2nd October 2025 →

I’ll be thinking about this “Rebooting the Blogosphere” idea for a while. Interesting that the provocation for this thinking is FB “exile” – it reminds me of the energy that gets released whenever a platform goes down or otherwise goes awry – the energy of “I’ve got to find an outlet for these impulses in … Continue reading Wednesday, 1st October 2025 →

Stephanie Booth has written a really useful three-part series on "Rebooting The Blogosphere" (activities | interaction | integration) – check it out. I identify with a lot of the reflections and ways of thinking about writing in public that Steph's pulled together. I also feel the enormity of it as a project – we've strayed so … Continue reading Tuesday, 30th September 2025 →

I’d done a day’s work before breakfast this morning. Thanks Geena! I have to apologise for the LinkedIn-esque final remarks, after a lifetime of thought-leadership and lessons-learned reviews, I just can’t help myself. Investigations continue, I may have to remove this post later subject to legal action by the accused and her lawyer.

I have recurring frustration with the state of the web. I still have a utopian dream and attachment to people using open tools rather than the (semi-)closed platforms to publish their work and knowledge and thinking. On one level, this is a purely selfish desire. I would rather have one place to go to see … Continue reading Monday, 29th September 2025 →

First morning with the heating on (min temperatures overnight are around 7 or 8ºC). It feels like magic. I think it's the memory of when we first moved to a house with central heating (on November 5th 1975). It felt like real luxury, not to wake up under blankets in a cold room, having to … Continue reading Wednesday, 24th September 2025 →

In bizarrely synchronistic news, I was reminded last night of the Librivox project, my first (and only) contribution to which, I published here twenty years ago tomorrow… I came across it again because I was looking up Thoreau’s essay on Civil Disobedience (for, y’know, contemporary culture reasons). And the Wikipedia page references recordings on Librivox … Continue reading Thursday, 18th September 2025 →

I spent yesterday back at Conway Hall.

There was The Story that Matt Locke did. I feel like there must be other things … Continue reading Friday, 12th September 2025 →

Today would have been my Dad’s 88th birthday (two fat ladies – 88!). He was 2 years old when WW2 started. When I was 2 (and three quarters) it was his 30th birthday and I recently found a recording of him and me “talking” on that day. If I can find it again easily (it’s … Continue reading Wednesday, 3rd September →

Overheard in a medical setting: “Have you brought a urine sample?” “No, I couldn’t because I don’t have a wotsit” me: eyes widening… and trying not to look at the receptionist turns out that by “wotsit”, they meant “sample bottle” 20 years ago, podcasting felt like (and mostly *was*) a DIY movement.
