I've had a number of years to get used to people walking around talking to invisible people on hands-free phones, but I don't think it will ever not look weird. There is always a brief moment where I have to figure out if they are mentally ill or something.

The idea would make perfect sense if the power humans produced was just really tasty. Like how we grow chickens in little boxes for their tasty energy

I've been unemployed for a few months. I now set myself pretend jobs to prevent the rot setting in. My son thinks this guy is funny, which is a good enough excuse to make something. Any requests?

Diagram of the animation career path, illustrated with a winding road on which Cyriak joyfully skips as he navigates his creative journey. Places of note along this circuitous route include "detour via job centre", "boring office job" and "making loads of weird videos". The journey ends with Cyriak striding purposefully into the future, though his hair takes a different path

Diagram of "The Process Rainbow", dividing the creative process into a spectrum of "making it up as i go along". The spectrum ranges from "no idea what I'm doing" (red), to "kind of know what i'm doing" (yellow), to "totally know what i'm doing" (blue). These categories are ordered along a vertical axis according to their "messing about level", from "not much" (blue) to "loads" (red). The horizontal axis measures "weirdness level" with blue being "normal-ish" and red being "crazy shit"

Did a talk recently and thought I should share a couple of slides from my presentation that perhaps warrant further study.

searches on youtube have similarly been destroyed, no longer allowing me to put them in date order. Because that was the only way I could ever find anything without youtube deciding if i should see it or not.

youtube really cant stop telling me what it thinks i want to watch. Even my latest subs list now has a "most relevant" selection right at the top. Like, the most relevant video in a list of latest videos is literally going to be the latest one. Are you listening to me, youtube? Are you here?

My hotel bathroom has so many mirrors, everywhere i look there is a cyriak. I'm not even sure which one is me

There is certainly a lot to discuss. What to do if you find yourself in a puddle, how to complain to the council etc

In a hotel watching tv for the first time in 10 years, and its like visiting one of those half deserted shopping centres. 2 guys sitting on a sofa talking about paint drying, followed by a discussion on puddles and an episode of "people doing things"

cheers! I have a couple of novels on the go at the moment, not sure how I will ever get them published but I'll figure something out

Had a dream last night about "Lucy", the 3 million year old fossil skeleton of a prehistoric hominid. Scientists were celebrating her discovery by using her bones to cook a delicious stew. "Lucy stew" they called it. I didn't try any

unfortunately i get a lot of problems with youtube's copyright detection when people upload my stuff, so i don't like to encourage it any more.

Today I learnt about the actual, canonical sequel to 101 Dalmatians.

Every single paragraph of the synopsis makes me feel like I've lost my mind a little bit more.

I am so sad that this never got a film adaptation.

the british government has finally called upon me to save the world by giving them all my used teabags. It is the very least I can do
