You see a detective on the TV and he’s interviewing all the suspects asking them what they were doing on the night of the murder a month ago last Tuesday night.
And on the TV, the suspects all know. Right away.
If you asked me ten years ago though, I’d have had barely any clue. If you’re lucky it’d have been something planned in my calendar but mostly, dunno. Watching TV maybe? No idea what show. Was that a night I was in the pub?
As we all get older this problem increases I’m told. Eventually full on senility sets in.
But what if you have already built the habit to record what you’re doing? To be able to look back and revise and review how you spent your days? An external aid as a crutch to your own forgetful brain’s cortex?
So I started this Exocortex Log over a decade ago and now I can answer: Ten years ago on Tuesday I was having dinner with the guitarist from my band and his girlfriend and they burned the pudding.
The app has been half finished and barely able to even record let alone review for most of that time, but now it’s ready enough that someone else might use it too if they want.

I'm thoroughly convinced that a lot of the problems we have as a society in general and with the tech industry in particular is toxic positivity—when people just can't get themselves to call out bad things for what they are; it's so often I see needless defending of bad work or outright insults hurled at customers by big corporations, and endless calls for a false civility.

Military spending keeps rising. Will it soon cost us the planet?
World leaders have been told to get their ‘priorities straight’ and invest in development, not destruction, as we enter 2026.

Today three years ago. oh boy that was a nice tour. But also one of my first longer snowshoe tours where I learned how much energy this can drain :-D
But it was worth the walk!
