Blindboy's new show on BBC Three called Blindboy Undestroys The World is excellent. The harrowing topics are delivered with fantastic satire. For those not in the UK, the Beebs Chrome extension might help.

This week I attended The Stochastic Method, an experimental music and performance concert in the CCA Glasgow featuring Iain Ross, Paul Michael Henry, Leslie Deere, Jenn Kirby and Graham Dunning. I also had the pleasure to design the poster for the event. Check out my photos from the gig here.

Working in software, I sometimes run into problems convincing project stakeholders about the purpose and limitations of project specs. This blog post from Seth Godin about defining the problem first and aiming to solve it, rather than aiming to write a spec for it, is absolute gold.

The New York Times published a fantastic exposé and data visualistion site about the scale of gathering and selling of location data. They obtained a file with 50 billion location pings of 12 million Americans and sifted through the data in horror. The data can be bought from data aggregation companies that offer data collected from apps on your smartphone, like news or coupons apps, not from telecom companies or the big tech companies. It was easy for the NYTimes journalists to see how many people visited the playboy mansion overnight, or the movements of people within the White House. They also describe a list of steps to protect yourself from this type of location data gathering.
