Last Notes npub1d34cr5ra0hr6zsmtpt50ych6j99vhjgkzgcpklf2emjj7g0kvf7qsfdlcx Katie Fenn There were four of us in a Black Cab driving up the M1. I was the first drop off in South Sheffield, then another in the North, then one in Huddersfield, and then another in Leeds. npub1d34cr5ra0hr6zsmtpt50ych6j99vhjgkzgcpklf2emjj7g0kvf7qsfdlcx Katie Fenn Yeah, small beginnings today but it was very satisfying seeing posters go up in shops down Stockport Road. npub1d34cr5ra0hr6zsmtpt50ych6j99vhjgkzgcpklf2emjj7g0kvf7qsfdlcx Katie Fenn Heat pump installation begins today! npub1d34cr5ra0hr6zsmtpt50ych6j99vhjgkzgcpklf2emjj7g0kvf7qsfdlcx Katie Fenn https://youtu.be/G9LlXpy1u8A npub1d34cr5ra0hr6zsmtpt50ych6j99vhjgkzgcpklf2emjj7g0kvf7qsfdlcx Katie Fenn Can almost hear the big Channel 4 kaiju npub1d34cr5ra0hr6zsmtpt50ych6j99vhjgkzgcpklf2emjj7g0kvf7qsfdlcx Katie Fenn It’s definitely slow for me too npub1d34cr5ra0hr6zsmtpt50ych6j99vhjgkzgcpklf2emjj7g0kvf7qsfdlcx Katie Fenn When I was a kid, I used to ride water slides and then immediately run around to ride them again. I was obsessed. npub1d34cr5ra0hr6zsmtpt50ych6j99vhjgkzgcpklf2emjj7g0kvf7qsfdlcx Katie Fenn This was my assumption too! npub1d34cr5ra0hr6zsmtpt50ych6j99vhjgkzgcpklf2emjj7g0kvf7qsfdlcx Katie Fenn This is utterly fascinating, and something I’ve felt for years. If I listen to a piece of music that I’m very familiar with after a bike ride or a swim, the tempo definitely feels really slow. It’s downright weird. npub1d34cr5ra0hr6zsmtpt50ych6j99vhjgkzgcpklf2emjj7g0kvf7qsfdlcx Katie Fenn You bet 🙂 npub1d34cr5ra0hr6zsmtpt50ych6j99vhjgkzgcpklf2emjj7g0kvf7qsfdlcx Katie Fenn I’ll be there! Come say hi. I’ll be the tall awkward looking one. npub1d34cr5ra0hr6zsmtpt50ych6j99vhjgkzgcpklf2emjj7g0kvf7qsfdlcx Katie Fenn It’s happening in the UK as well. npub1d34cr5ra0hr6zsmtpt50ych6j99vhjgkzgcpklf2emjj7g0kvf7qsfdlcx Katie Fenn Today we're launching the call for proposals process for @npub143g…na2r 2025! npub1d34cr5ra0hr6zsmtpt50ych6j99vhjgkzgcpklf2emjj7g0kvf7qsfdlcx Katie Fenn The only verifiable thing that Brexit has ever changed. Other than economic stagnation and painful passport control queues. npub1d34cr5ra0hr6zsmtpt50ych6j99vhjgkzgcpklf2emjj7g0kvf7qsfdlcx Katie Fenn Feels like a smart strategy to focus efforts on Musk. Seems like a likelihood of him doing something wrong that would incriminate Trump, and nobody voted for him. npub1d34cr5ra0hr6zsmtpt50ych6j99vhjgkzgcpklf2emjj7g0kvf7qsfdlcx Katie Fenn And yes, I go through making an oscillator using the Web Audio API from scratch 🙂 npub1d34cr5ra0hr6zsmtpt50ych6j99vhjgkzgcpklf2emjj7g0kvf7qsfdlcx Katie Fenn I can’t wait to find out what you think 💜 npub1d34cr5ra0hr6zsmtpt50ych6j99vhjgkzgcpklf2emjj7g0kvf7qsfdlcx Katie Fenn As someone who very much loves Christmas, I’ve found it incredibly hard to find that feeling this year. I’ve had to constantly remind myself that it’s coming. I’m sure it’ll come back one day, but today has been incredibly hard. npub1d34cr5ra0hr6zsmtpt50ych6j99vhjgkzgcpklf2emjj7g0kvf7qsfdlcx Katie Fenn Ah the glory of double-digit tog season. So many people out there will never know the wonder of a hot water bottle. npub1d34cr5ra0hr6zsmtpt50ych6j99vhjgkzgcpklf2emjj7g0kvf7qsfdlcx Katie Fenn Ain’t that the truth! It’s like the “We are the Champions” or “Don’t Stop me Now” for kids born in the late 90s. npub1d34cr5ra0hr6zsmtpt50ych6j99vhjgkzgcpklf2emjj7g0kvf7qsfdlcx Katie Fenn This would make a fun research project. What is it about tracks which make the dance floor so rowdy? npub1d34cr5ra0hr6zsmtpt50ych6j99vhjgkzgcpklf2emjj7g0kvf7qsfdlcx Katie Fenn Hey #sotb2024 👋 npub1d34cr5ra0hr6zsmtpt50ych6j99vhjgkzgcpklf2emjj7g0kvf7qsfdlcx Katie Fenn Ran into no fewer than four different groups of men on off-road motorbikes, electric and petrol, who were ripping up footpaths and bridleways. The area around south east Sheffield is like Mad Max this evening 😔 npub1d34cr5ra0hr6zsmtpt50ych6j99vhjgkzgcpklf2emjj7g0kvf7qsfdlcx Katie Fenn “Duology”, I believe. The Lord of the Rings was originally going to be two films, but it was lengthened to three by request of the producers, though probably it made sense because the source material came in three books.
