Some pubs are more closed than others #InTheSaddle

It's not often you see Maersk ships in Canada Dock, but Maersk Cebu is visiting today #MerseyShipping #InTheSaddle

We're tracking all our progress, designs, choices, etc. over at https://github.com/DoESLiverpool/covid19 if anyone is interested or wants to chip in.

We're spinning up the production capabilities at the #DoESLiverpool #makerspace to make face shields/visors for local health staff.

As well as the #3Dprinted designs going round that we'll be printing, I've worked up a #lasercut #COVID19 visor design, so we can use the laser-cutters too. This takes 1min 18secs to cut, vs 44mins for the faster of the 3D prints. Still need to get it fully OKed by the medical folk, but I'm pleased with where I've got to with it so far

Word on the street.

Spent the afternoon and evening in a quiet @DoESLiverpool workshop testing and prototyping #corvid19 face shield designs. With any luck we'll be able to put our kit to work to help the NHS staff stay safe despite the #PPE shortages (more at https://www.instagram.com/p/B-LT14Og6Iv/)

Finding the quieter routes for my #InTheSaddle rides so I can still get some fresh air and exercise

In other 1970s #socialist technology histories, I've written up my notes from reading Cybernetic Revolutionaries, about #StaffordBeer, #cybernetics and #Chile http://www.mcqn.net/mcfilter/archives/books/blog_all_dogeared_pages_cybernetic_revolutionaries_by_eden_medina.html

Given everyone is (a) cooped up at home, and (b) thinking about how we switch companies to 'socially useful production', #ThePlan documentary is well worth a watch http://theplandocumentary.com

Glimpses of racecourse but no glimpses of horses for a while #InTheSaddle

Back from an #InTheSaddle ride and quarantine stocking up in time to catch Adam Greenfield's zoom hangout talking about his #OccupySandy experiences and how we might learn from them now #MutualAid
