Magnitude
As a break from spamming vacation updates (it’s going nicely, by the way), I thought I’d throw out a fun hypothetical I was playing around with on ChatGPT. Who do you think would win, the sun, or one trillion lions? My low IQ brain thought it might be a fair fight; I was wrong. One…

Works, but not everywhere
We took the train from Paris to Biarritz today, a journey of almost 800km, completed in under 5 hours. Like many things, the last 20% of the endeavour took half the time. For the first 90 minutes, we scooted along at 300kms, and completed more than half the journey. Then, we started making stops. For…

Le Parc
The Luxembourg Gardens are wonderful. While not the most beautiful in terms of horticulture, they’re packed with activities for all types. We spent a few hours there this morning. It started out at the fountain, where you could rent out little sail boats and let them rip around. We chose the Ukrainian boat to show…

The future is here
Airplane WiFi has been a thing for a while. It’s super slow, often expensive, and frequently drops out. Overall, a dastardly experience. But today, while on a United flight to DC, I was rather pleased to see they had partnered with StarLink, Elon Musk’s company. I was happy for two reasons. 1, we have had…

Postman Plus
I went to the Post Office today to, surprise, post a package and make a photocopy of my passport. It was a terrible experience. The Post Office is an important service, and I don’t want it to be cancelled. But the culture and customer service there are bottom tier, and they were entirely unhelpful 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.
