Where's My Juul?. Top Story - August 2026.
Look around any public space right now, and you'll see the exact same tragic comedy playing out. A group of grown adults or even teenagers standing outside a venue or huddled in a corner, taking aggressive rips from what looks like a flash drive.

Where Are We Going?
Already Here challenge prompt: Write about one technology, tool, or habit in your everyday life that already feels like science fiction, and what it’s quietly changing. Some of the things we use every day would have sounded like science fiction not that long ago. Now they're just part of everyday life. Think about one technology, tool, or everyday habit that already feels like science fiction. It could be something you use every day or something you've only recently started to notice. Explore how it's changing the way people live, work, create, communicate, or think. Whether your piece is personal, analytical, or reflective, stay grounded in the present and consider what these quiet changes might mean.

They Are Not Data Centres
Introduction We keep hearing about 'data centres' and the fact that they consume resources while everything around them dies. The thing is, they are there to store information about US that can then be used to make US do what they want (the owners of the 'data centres'').

AI is here
My dad constantly tells me AI is dangerous and is going to take over the world. He hates modern technology and his opinion is based on a newspaper report saying its bad. So like with many things he hates something he doesn't know how it works or what it does. I am not its greatest fan, especially as it steals book, film and music content with no thought for the creator.

Vocal Are Not The Only Ones With Issues
Introduction Vocal is still having issues with the platform, and I have been critical of the rollout, but what they have done is implement changes to what is the best publishing platform for creators. On my Zoom call with Justin and Chris, I found out he had been up to Inverness, where I was a couple of weeks ago, but they gave insights into what they had to deal with.

Has The Laundromat Defined Our Future?. Honorable Mention in Already Here Challenge.
Change Is Coming In 1985, I worked as an assistant manager for Avon. My manager spoke often about a day when we would have a cashless society. She said we would buy and sell only with credit cards, which would be part of the Antichrist's reign.

Talking to the Machine
I spent thirty years learning that command runs one direction: you give the order, someone below you executes it, and if it's not done right, that's on you for how you gave it. That's the grammar of authority I lived inside for three decades—clear, hierarchical, unambiguous. So it still catches me, most days, that I now spend a good part of my mornings having a conversation with something that isn't a person, describing what I want in plain English, and watching it build the thing I described.
