Just a tiny fraction of my favourite moments from 20 years of presenting @BBCClick. It's been an absolute blast. Thanks for watching, and I will definitely see you soon!

@SusanHHD You're welcome!

Freeze-frame is always so kind to me. I'm pretty sure I was in the middle of something very dramatic on-stage at the @EqualExperts Global Annual Conference.

⚡A humanoid robot just ran 100m in 9.39 seconds, faster than Usain Bolt's world record of 9.58!

World Humanoid Robot Games 2026 has just started in Beijing!

I did an event with Sophie Lovett a few weeks ago, and she has very kindly described how I approach AI on-stage in this article. I always hope to do something different enough to make an impression, and it seems I did. Sophie, sorry if I gave you nightmares about Fugglers...

GCSE Results Day. Good luck everyone.

[Spencer Kelly @spenley]

@KramReklaw Yep, that'll do it.

3 minutes on AI Watermarking, how your text may be flagged as AI, and how to avoid it.

Would love your thoughts - how do you feel about AI generated text, the danger of false positives, and how will you feel when you lose the ability to rewrite something better?

[Spencer Kelly @spenley]

@TetroUKofficial That makes sense. Ensures you see it even if you weren't near your phone when it went off.

[Spencer Kelly @spenley]

Problem is my son's phone went off 3 times. That's the sort of thing that might make people turn the thing off.

Anyone else just got this? A tad late if you ask me...

[Spencer Kelly @spenley]

What makes a phone stand out from the crowd? The Robot Phone has just launched in China, but is it a gimmick or a useful tool for solo camera operators and creators?

[Spencer Kelly @spenley]

@Real_MarkRidley yes!

My reflections on the partial eclipse:
1. ~95% is still too bright to even see the sun has changed shape without a filter.
2. It's amazing how well-lit the world is with even 5% of the sun exposed.
BUT
3. The ambient light was just "wrong". The lizard part of my brain said that with the sun that high in the sky, the landscape was too dim.
AND
4. Leave the photos to the professionals, and just enjoy the experience.

[Spencer Kelly @spenley]

One further reflection (would love to hear yours by reply):
4. The sun is tiny in a wide angle photo. These two pix were taken with the same lens. What you think is the sun is actually a bigger part of the sensor completely blown out by the glare. Putting the filter on reveals its true size.

@Alinewsbird @radioalijones I must have been on the hill at that point
