  • Here we go!

    I’m on vacation, but the AI arms race never stops. Two bits of news that might interest you.

  • A rough 12 hours

    Last night wasn’t easy. A new tooth came through on a hot and humid Parisian night, with no AC or painkillers to remedy the situation. Cue a midnight sleep time, and then the hours of 2-4 dealing with screams and tears. Ultimately, a 30 minute imaginary train ride, complete with multiple stops to feed a…

  • West Coast, Best Coast?

    Growing up on the Eastern seaboard was eventful, but I never really considered it that much. After all, it felt completely normal and unremarkable. This is not the case for those who grew up in Western Australia, who are permanently obsessed with two things: All of this codswallop, but I am from the East, so…

  • Crossover

    For all its faults, America loves an innovation, and she REALLY loves a new product. Go to any big name college, and their gift shop will have over 30k items, from T-shirts and socks to yamakas and shotgun shells. The latest entry into a seemingly endless category of “Nobody asked for this, but here we…

  • 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…

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.
