PERMANENT RECORD has just been adapted for young readers and schools. It took a lot of work, but making the systems that will control and influence our children's entire lives understandable to them is something I feel very important. Order link: read.macmillan.com/mcpg/perm…

This is the most interesting mobile security project I've seen in a very long time, by one of technology's brightest minds. Keep an eye on it. (Here's an academic paper we wrote together on hacking the iPhone—for which he did by far the hardest work: tjoe.org/pub/direct-radio-in… )
I’m making a mobile open source electronics platform, called Precursor. It’s 100% open and hackable, and designed to be carried in your pocket at just 7.2mm thick. Learn more about it, and sign up to be notified when the crowdfunding campaign goes live: crowdsupply.com/sutajio-kosa…

We're 3 days into the #KICKSTARTERcampaign for my new #kakapo / #takahe film and I'm blown away by the response from everyone. It's incredible. The film will be all the better for it. Working with these remarkable people and rare creatures is a privilege.

I reported this to Porirua City Council over a month ago and they haven't done shit. Now it's ten times worse.

@10DowningStreet @BorisJohnson, we have a fridge for you. We tried to deliver, but you weren't in. Your staff have our ‘sorry you weren't in card’ 😉

Even the statement, “Let’s invite more Black people to the table,” implies ownership of the table and control of who is invited. Racism is about power.

This evening, @BBCTheOneShow featured two people totally new to cycling and followed their journey to getting on two wheels. The gist? It’s terrifying. We must do better. And fast. When you build safe cycling infrastructure, this is who you are helping.

‘You create a bigger story to prevent people from talking about the real issues in the country, so you have a completely irrelevant fake debate about symbolically important things’ This about Orban. It’s a warning re Trump. It describes Boris Johnson theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv…

I don't know why cites get dragged into intractable debates around parking. Most councils manage only a small proportion of the parking markets. Most parking is in the hands of the private sector.
