Back at the dawn of techno anthropology Jan Chipchase used to post loads of photos of 'norms'. It was great. He was documenting the emergence of all sorts of new behaviour.
And I think 'norms' a lot at the moment, especially when I see things to do with the energy transition. So I thought I'd try and document them. (And by 'document them' I mean 'stick them on the blog')
I visited Gridserve's electric forecourt at the weekend and charged the car. It was fine. Which is massive praise for something half-way between a utility and a service station. Clean, efficient, functional. It can't really be better than that.
You can tell we're at the beginning of something because everything is about 'electricity'. It's the central point, the thing all the language and puns and ideas are centred on. And, of course, that's a temporary thing. Very soon the electricity will not be the point.
Everything is blue and green. Of course. Grass walls. Fake grass walls.
We are going to have to understand kWs. Not necessarily literally but in the folk sense that we understand a gallon (not as a quantity but as a thing that you pay for) or like SMLXL.
