Shared platforms emerge. Something to remember from the consistently go-to article “The Abuse of Reuse” by @postenterprise @postenterprise/the-abuse-of-reuse-96b2e0af01a7" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@postenterpris…

According to Arthurian tradition, Merlin was “demon born”. This illustration from “Histoire de Merlin' (c. 1450-55) shows a demon visiting Merlin’s mother in the night. Captions please. X

Is it possible to view historial images using Street View or Aerial View on Google/Bing/OpenStreet Maps? I've found what our new home's garden looked like in 2011 - and I'm curious to see what other changes there have been.

@NickPoole1 @swardley Wardley mapping, every time. My first job in framing any discussion is coming to a shared understanding of the underlying value and power dynamics and resultant methods.

Monday evening leadership question. Have been talking to several people today about what's in their "box of tricks" - methods, ideas, framing devices, ways of thinking about a problem, tools they use to analyse and overcome work-related challenges. So what are yours?

Thread. I also have absolutely no time to write a book on local government digital @kitterati - perhaps we could have no time to do it together? 😂
Kit Collingwood@kitterati

Today we might finally integrate with the old system we've been wrangling with, despite the best efforts of the supplier to block us. This is why open standards, new public sector markets and intelligent buying will be so important for local government over the next 5 years.

Fourteen years ago today, I proposed to @emilyjanemall in a horse-drawn carriage just outside of St. Stephen's Green in Dublin, Ireland. Best decision I ever made!

@stormofquiet Would definitely invest £2,000 in a moderately-priced used piccolo. Guess that makes me literally a tweeter!

You are given £2000 to buy something, one item, which is just for you. You can’t give it to charity, you must buy one item, just for you. What’d it be tweeters?

@blangry I used to like “do what you love” until I realized how much unearned privilege went into having the option. Working for very mission-driven organisations has also made it easier for me to hurt my own mental health by putting everything into “the cause”. Double-edged sword.

@vosageroll Enjoyed your weeknote, Harry - well-written, nicely structured and (most importantly) honest about the highs and the lows. Keep 'em coming! (And you're a great asset in your new team.)
