Anything you want
I finished reading Derek Siver’s book Anything you want. It’s a super short read, maybe 90 minutes tops, and contains 40 lessons learned starting, running, and then selling CD Baby. I had never heard of CD Baby, but in the early 2000s, it was THE place to buy independent music online. There were a few…

On the edge
Octavia fell ill on Friday, and since then, Ky and I have been on the edge. Will we get sick, will we survive? Right now, my bet is 50/50. We have done somethings right. Today was a relaxed day, and we have been loading up on water, vitamin C, and Ky took a much needed…

Invited
25 years ago, we had a cat. His name morphed from Hector, to Puddy, to Dr J across his lifestyle, but there was one thing that remained constant; we kids ADORED him. Even now, when we rate the 25+ cats we have had over our lifetime, he is always, always on top. Truly the GOAT.…

Halfway
Harry Selfridge is famous for two things, but he should be more famous for three. The most obvious claim to fame is his eponymous departments stores in London, Selfridges. Their success led to his second claim; his tremendous wealth. Known as the Lord of Oxford Street, at the peak of his powers he was worth…

I, Cloudius
I deployed my first program to the cloud today. It wasn’t on my 2026 bingo card list, but I’m glad I did. For those who are unfamiliar with cloud computing, here is my best guess at what is happening; you’re essentially outsourcing the computing demands from your machine to a bigger, more powerful one. All…

Boys Night
A good friend and I have been meaning to watch the Jimmy Carr movie, Fackham Hall, for about six months now. There has been a lot of shuffling around with dates; we both have young daughters, we both have jobs that require us to travel some of the time, and we both have extra-curricular activities…

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.
