Interesting difference in how the Times (left) and the Independent (right) covered Bord na Móna's annual report this morning. Both headlines factually correct but different approaches taken.

In June we brought 160 founders, investors, technologists and people trying to make an impact, together for a few days in the eastern Swiss Alps. As a group, we examined technology from the perspectives of creativity, magic, and meaning. It was an experiment, and it worked!👇

Still thinking about God of War Ragnarok. They've gone through the Greek and Norse pantheons. They could possibly pull double-duty with the Roman pantheon, but after that you start running out of gods to kill. That's when bold artistic choices are made.

Ireland is once again close (ish) to its real time zone. For a few months solar noon will be a little after 12pm rather than a little after 1pm. Then once again back to the nonsense #ditchdaylightsavings
