I’ve written a shout out on my blog to the many Idler Festival goers who came to my workshops over the weekend. Glorious to dance with you all on the grass and in the sunshine. Hope to see you next time! @idler eiffelover.com/a-shout-out-to…
Regenerative design: a process not a thing. Read my latest blog post as I explore concepts of regenerative design in engineering. buff.ly/3m0LPvC #regenerative #design #conceptual #engineering #ecosystems #abundance
Today's blog. Our responsibility: reduce carbon on projects by 7% a year starting now. #civilengineering #ClimateEmergency #structuralengineering @UNEP #targets buff.ly/3rnc4jo
I'm after some domain advice. I'm putting together a new profile website to gather all my writing, videos, talks etc. Any thoughts on what's better - .info or .uk
I'm hatching plans to run my first Studio Eiffel Over, a week-long creative exploration of one my Eiffel Over themes. Looking for #creativespace in #Brsitol. The first one I'm hoping to run this summer on #analogueskills. Follow @AnalogueSkills for details.
Today has been a writing day for the @AnalogueSkills project. In case you are wondering, it's all about collecting and exploring less digital ways of doing things. Getting great input from followers, so please join the conversation. eiffelover.com/analogue-skill…
Written up my third #analogueskill for the day: printing out photos of friends. This gets into how our memories are used as content that keeps us glued to our screens. And what happens when the backup fails #photography #polaroid #friendship #inconvenience eiffelover.com/analogue-skill…
I'm on a roll. Analogue Skill 006: Sing songs with other people. eiffelover.com/analogue-skill… #analogueskills #singing #folksongs #airguitar #livemusic
Posting Analogue Skill 005: using the human operating system to find north. How confident do you feel navigating without a phone? What #humanhacks do you use? eiffelover.com/analogue-skill… #analogueskills #embodiedcognition #psychogeogprahy #situationist #navigation #orienteering
Good to know you can take recycling to St Phillips household reduce centre in Bristol by bike, but this is not obvious from the website. @BristolWaste @BristolCouncil #betterbybike #carfree #thisiscivilengineering
Feels like the future just arrived: ‘Don’t be ridiculous Marty, nobody has an air source heat pump at home’. Also: ‘Gas? Where we’re going we don’t need gas.’ #airsource #heatpump #retrofit #backtothefuture
Today's post - Analogue Skill 004: become a regular. Esp. appropriate on day of #LockdownEasing in England. We were retreating from the #publicrealm even before the pandemic. Time to return, rebuild our social capital and be less phone-dependent eiffelover.com/analogue-skill…
Driving #electricvehicles has changed the way I notice the landscape changing as I drive and has led to experiments in not pedalling downhill. Read more here. #sustainabletravel #cycling #embodiedcognition #navigation #surfacetravel eiffelover.com/potential-ener…
This has been on my mind for some time so I'm glad to commit to words.

Happy #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek 🙃 Some ideas for getting more nature in your life this week: 🌳 meet a friend for a walk 🦋 admire creatures great and small 📝 draw or write down what you can see 🥗 eat a meal outside buff.ly/2H2sgzN
This is a superb talk from @BillHarvey2 on building the Humber Bridge - full of the important things that you learn when things go wrong on site. vimeo.com/544705851?ref=…
I have also been writing today about my motivations for collecting #analogueskills 1 #Engineering fascination 2 #Tech awkwardness 3 Managing #distractions 4 Digital and #analogue #exclusion 5 #irl human connection 6 Having #everythingyouneed eiffelover.com/six-motivation… #clowning
Posting #analogueskill 003: watching the clouds - streaming now (especially appropriate in #bristol where the weather is putting on a particularly gripping show today. eiffelover.com/analogue-skill…
A notion that comes up over and over for me when thinking about analogue skills is the idea of #realworldsearch. Or how did we find things out #preGoogle? The psychological and behavioural impacts are fascinating. eiffelover.com/what-is-real-w… #realworldsearch
My wall is covered in #analogueskills written on post its. My plan is turn each of these into a post and then hopefully a book. Publishing here in no particular order. Analogue Skill 001: buy tickets at the station. eiffelover.com/analogue-skill…
