Fogknife : My colonoscopy strategies (8 minute read)
It is always good to be reminded that some things that you might dread are not, in fact, dreadful. I wrote about my own first colonoscopy back in 2009 and luckily, unlike Jason, there was no need to refine my technique.The next time, there was less liquid to chug but the routine was essentially the same. Conclusion: just do it.

A great story of creative practicality. How I like reading about other peoples' projects. My own, not so much.

What a coincidence. In 2023, I didn't read the exact same 20 books that Austin Kleon didn't read.

Impressed that you found Valentino. One of our favourite places when we are around that neighbourhood.
New issue of Eat This Newsletter is up and available, with thoughts on lead-poisoning in baby foods, declining nutrition in cereal crops, dietary advice on ultraprocessed foods, a rumination on rural repair and a late entrant to tosh techno-fix of the year.

I know I have left this very late, but I wonder whether anyone has recommendations for a good place to dine on New Year's Eve in Dublin?
Today's Eat This Newsletter has a couple of items about quinoa, takes a closer look at red-fleshed apples and rounds up some slightly delayed takes on Thanksgiving. Read it at

These 40 questions -- in my case direct from Chuck Grimmett -- could make for a satisfying end-of-year exercise and maybe even an IndieWeb carnival topic.

#Fiction
Interesting to come across Bryan Lehrer's piece on the same day as Ben Werdmuller's. Personal histories, both focussed on building for the internet, sorta, and both coming, I think, to the same conclusion: money is essential and money spoils everything.
#IndieWeb
Very interesting personal history from @benwerd ... and here I remain, ready and willing to move from one-off donations to paying a real price for WithKnown.
#IndieWeb
I fundamentally disagree. My best days start slowly, with hydration (tea), a little light scrolling, some internal planning and generally enjoying a bit of peace and quiet and loving company. An hour will do.
Latest Eat This Newsletter includes:
Can you talk about the hummus wars when there is an actual war on?
