Everywhere you turn at GDS, you encounter someone with incredible
skill and talent. I find myself working with Henry Hadlow, who has an
extraordinary portfolio of stuff. I particularly enjoyed Tell A Lie:

... but there's lots more to explore there.

Local bloke is doing 50 good deeds in 50 days to celebrate his 50th
birthday. Lovely idea.

My new telly - lovely telly, very expensive - has *adverts* on it.
Built into the UI.  I'm gobsmacked. A bit cross too. How dare they?

done more research before buying.)

That Internet of Things is going to be really irritating, isn't it?
