When our resident mad professor Ben (aka our Workshop Manager & all-round EV conversion guru) wants a welding mask, he doesn’t just buy one. He makes one. An Iron Man helmet with auto-dim & voice activated open/close. If there’s a cooler welding mask out there I’ve not seen it😎

If you're going to download my mappy tribute to #OzzyOsbourne that plots his touring history with both #BlackSabbath and as a solo artist be sure to look out for a couple of easter eggs. Free download: carto.maps.arcgis.com/home/item.html…

This could be Rome. If Rome was bankrupt, had rats the size of cats, and three-quarter length jeans suddenly became chic.

Happy retirement after eight years to realjourneytime.co.uk --- a fine tool that tracked most high frequency buses in the West Midlands. So I could see each bus, and how long it took (in this case to get from our flat to Moor St. Station on 31/01/2023) to get places.

The scale of the new @HS2ltd Curzon St viaduct no2 going into Curzon Street station is staggering. Will be 150m long and 25 metre high trusses. Will be lit up and be a spectacular welcome to city. hs2.org.uk/building-hs2/v… @MrTimDunn #Birmingham

"Rolls-Royce is soaring. Britain is indifferent" > good piece this. Though it doesn't seem to have an answer for the excellent question of why Britain doesn't seem to cherish and celebrate its national engineering and manufacturing champions. unherd.com/2025/03/rolls-…

Fantastic work by @LukeStrange22 at @OpenInnovates who's extended work on bus tracking I did (and still do) in the West Midlands to North West England and Yorkshire thanks to Liverpool City Region funding. Blog post here, and I'll show examples next. open-innovations.org/blog/2025-01-1…

Can someone explain to me why Vail is taking such a hard line with this strike? Ski Patrol is asking for a $2 per hour raise, which Vail can easily afford. One-day lift tickets are $300 (!!), and the reputational damage alone isn’t worth it. But why won't they give in?
