Pushing some more thoughts
I’ve been dipping in and out of the livestream and Twitter feed for the Pushing HE conference today, and there’s a few thoughts that I don’t want to lose – they’re very ill-informed and random.

Mortuary Chapel, Revisited
I’ve written a little bit before about my work connected with the mural paintings of Phoebe Anna Traquair, and this week we had a lovely gathering to celebrate the 25th anniversary of our Friends organisation.

This week in Creepy Internet Sh1t
This week Twitter’s creepy-a$$ed algorithms have spotted me tuning into a bit of InfoSec chit-chat on the train, and nerding it up with colleagues who care about student online presence and the like. As a result the algorithmic sewer pipe has spewed out a particularly … Continue reading This week in Creepy Internet Sh1t
Mortuary Chapel
Earlier this week I dashed across town in my lunch break to see some murals being photographed. https://twitter.com/ammienoot/status/899706929383133185 Here’s a piece that I wrote in September last year for a poster about the Mortuary Chapel murals. The photos below are my own, and a bit … Continue reading Mortuary Chapel
