Shattered Shield
I have been a fan of OtterBox for a while, the “military grade” phone case manufacture. It’s been coming my iPhone safe and unblemished for over three years. It always had my back. Until it didn’t. After daily droppings on concrete, eventually the case gave up, and I have little option but to “raw dog”…

Price’s Law
There is a famous phenomenon that emerges across a whole host of domains called Price’s Law. Put simply, the square root of all inputs provide 50% of the outputs. This can be seen everywhere; a small number of artists on Spotify make up most of the listens, a small number of Premier League players score…

High Score
It wasn’t planned, but it certainly feels like Australia Week. A few days ago I did a deep dive on ANZAC Day. Today, I want to indulge in the most common Australian conversation: complaining about fuel prices. Right now, the average fuel price in Aus is $1.98 a liter, or $7.5 a gallon. That is…

Christmas Gifting
I came across an interesting story the other day of how Dave Ramsey celebrates Christmas with his employees. For those who don’t know the name, Dave Ramsey is best known for providing information and help on personal finance. He has had his share of criticism, most because his techniques and suggestions are aimed at, and…

ANZAC pt2
After explaining the history of ANZAC Day yesterday, today I wanted to share our experience of the service we attended. Traditionally, an Anzac Day service starts at dawn. I haven’t been to many that have though; when I was a child I remember going to the War Memorial in Melbourne and remembering it being very…

ANZAC Day Pt 1
The 25 of April is ANZAC Day in Australia and New Zealand. It is our equivalent to Remembrance Day or Memorial Day. In 1915, the Australian and New Zealand Army Corp landed at Gallipoli, a rugged cliff faced area in modern day Turkey. The Ottoman Empire had allied with Germany in World War 1, and…

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.
