@hugovk On my music profile ( last.fm/user/gyford ) under “gyford’s library” it says how many artists.

@ModusGolems I was surprised. Got about half that in iTunes; the rest must be on Last.fm or, mostly, Spotify.

@ModusGolems Oops, thanks! I meant 2004.

(Oops, corrected: 10,000 artists since 2004, not 2014.)

Unfortunately, the 10,000th artist I've scrobbled on Last.fm since April 2004 has the cringeworthy name of 'Beatenberg'.

@alicebartlett I'm not going to ask about a golden parachute.

@iamdanw Definitely. Or, at least, they should be things that can actually be used/visited right now. But this is crazy talk!

Like the Twenty-five Year Award for architecture en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twenty-fi… (via @iamdanw)

@iamdanw Oh I forgot about that, yes. I almost said "and for architecture too".

Proposal for Designs of the Year: It can only feature things released 10 years earlier. This year, things from 2005 that are still good.

@phowax No, spam. Just coincidence.

Monday went to Upper St for first time in months (years?). Now, spam: "An exciting opportunity to invest in Upper Street" I'm being watched…

"Hi Phil Gyford! Your Flickr Pro account has been renewed…" [does Flickr Pro gang sign] (it's an increasingly small gang, but still)

"What do you want to be when you grow up?"
"An honest, brave, compassionate human being."
"No…I mean, how do you want to sell your labor?"
