Potential for AI is huge but we need to avoid the traps of climate destroying plagiarism engines.

Most confusing text abbreviations - so, do you know what SYBAU mean? the team at Unscramblerer.com have analysed Google Trends to uncover the acronyms that leave Brits the most confused.

Great piece of Digital PR from the team at www.unscramblerer.com

Somewhat challenging domain name that invites typo however.

Weather looking good at the moment - my role only support tho - my wonderful other half is doing the running. Spoke to her ten miles in and she’s loving it. Off to the finish line soon to see them over it!

Runners waiting for the countdown of the start of the 2026 Dartmoor marathon. The race starts in the pretty Devon town of Tavistock before heading across moorland road to Princetown

Got to be a candidate for one of the most scenic marathons in n the UK. April 12th 2026 Dartmoor marathon just got underway. Decent turn out of pioneers and a well organised start. This one’s got potential to develop quite a following. #Tavistock #Marathon

“THE NEW ARCHITECTURE OF THE WEB: AI SEARCH, AGENTS, AND VISIBILITY”

Gianluca Fiorelli and Barry Adams take to the stage for Q&A at Friends of Search conference, Amsterdam 2026.

Thought provoking presentation from Gianluca Fiorelli at #FOS2026 “THE CONTENT HUB BLUEPRINT: A 10-STEP WORKFLOW FOR CLASSIC AND AI SEARCH VISIBILITY”

A crowded conference set in what appears to be some manner of dockside industrial unit. Fancy lighting compliments the industrial setting. A lifting crane is visible in the roof space. A slide on a huge screen at front of the allocated space is titled “Friends of Search…”

In Amsterdam for Friends of Search 2026 - an incredibly polished conference in an awesome industrial setting.

The fictional city of Mingo of the planet of Mongo with aesthetically pleasing neon green lit elevators facilitating vertical travel between tiers of the dictators self serving bastion. A feature of the capital is war rocket Ajax, which may be deployed in case of emergency. Please note: Description should not be interpreted as endorsement.

You can say what you like about Emperor Ming but he has lovely taste in elevators.

Was a few months ago that i did this, and nothing has changed.

Adding go faster stripes on your car is not going to make any difference to your monthly grocery shopping trip - make sure your car works well and can get your there and back.

Happy 2026!

28th in a field of 100+ with a time just over the hour for a wet trail run. My first timed run following a significant time away with injury. Given I spent most of the summer navigating couch to 5k I’m reasonably content, bar a few frustrating seconds.

What causes a ring or halo around the Moon? A ring or halo around the moon tonight? That lunar halo is caused by the refraction of moonlight by ice crystals, creating a circle effect.

Could this be a lunar halo?

Some sea shells on the ground. The sandy nature of the ground suggests a sea side setting.

I see sea shells by the sea shore

Personally I’d be sprinkling it over SEO fries, though research suggests an established Northern Virginia agency may impede exploitation in the digital marketing sector…

An empty tub of salt with sea salt flakes in a font that reduces the size of the letter a’s tail considerably. When combined with the circular nature of the bowl, the result is a letter very similar to what one might expect of the letter O.

Saw this out the corner of my eye and just for a moment, thought it said SEO salt. In other news, learnt a little bit about typeface anatomy as a result.

Love this model. A well timed end of season European #SEO conference & networking event for little more than an equivalent hotel break.

Worth adding - Booked in & haven’t expensed this. Feel it’s worth doing for own personal development.

Hope to see you there

You too Yordan!

Day zero - training.

Thanks!

At springs #brightonSEO I had a Eurika moment, popped up to decathlon, bought myself trainers, shorts, socks and a tshirt and started myself on #Couchto5k - I’ve had a few set backs and stalls since, but delighted that on the cusp of this autumns event I’m on the brink of success.

An interesting detail that seems to be getting lost @brianwernham.bsky.social - the government want this mandatory digital id card to be on your phone.

Will this be a mandatory app? Government spyware on everyone’s mobile? At least those of us who can afford one?

Very big brother if so.
