  • First and annual

    I had an annual checkup today at the doctor. Or should I say, inaugural. Perhaps it’s unusual to you, dear reader, but I have never been to the doctor before for a medical. Injuries. Yes. Vaccines. Yes. Back pain. Once, and that was online. It’s not that I’m against doctors or healthcare, I have just…

  • Wealth > Status

    While going for a walk today, I was listening to one of my favourite podcasts, Modern Wisdom. If you’ve ever listened to Diary of a CEO, it’s pretty much the same. Guest, interviewer, microphone, action. Today’s guest was Naval Ravikant, who I have heard of, but don’t know much about. Essentially he’s a bit of…

  • I voted!

    The Australian Federal Election is coming up, and I am not going to give up this opportunity to have my voice heard. Having heard of all the drama and stress about US voting, I am pleased to say that the Australian Electoral Commission does a fantastic job. Last Thursday I applied for my postal vote….

  • The 2% that matters

    I was gas bagging with one of our software engineers this morning about coding, and we swapped battle stories about life in the coding trenches. There were three things I learned:

  • Christ is Risen!

    It’s Easter Sunday over here in the Mountain West, and surprisingly, it isn’t a big deal. In Australia, New Zealand, and the UK, Easter is big. For most people, it is by far the second biggest holiday on the calendar, after Christmas. A large part of that has to do with having both Good Friday…

  • Dinner w children

    We had some friends round for dinner this evening, all of whom have children under 1. It’s certainly a different affair than the dinner parties of the past. Different is neither good nor bad, it’s just different. The name of the game is simplification; no 3 course meals, just something that people can eat, ideally…

Why I started this blog

I don’t really use Social Media anymore; I’m too young for Facebook, too old for SnapChat, too normie for Discord and too boring for Instagram. While this buys me back time and peace of mind, it means that it can sometimes be difficult to share my life with my friends and family outside of phone calls and in-person meetups. As I live overseas, this can be a difficulty.

With this in mind, and inspired my friend Dan Cullum (check out his fantastic site HERE), I have started a daily blog. Not only will I be able to share my ideas, news, and stories to friends and family, but it serves as a time capsule as I move through life. In the future, I look forward to seeing how my views, opinions, and ideas change over time. At the very least, it is an exercise in discipline, and may be of interest to my descendants at some time in the future.

While I imagine most followers of this blog will be friends and family, all are welcome to subscribe. Feel free to email at harry@harrywetherall.com, I reply to every message, and would love to hear from you.
