  • Upgraded

    Open AI, the creator of ChatGPT, released their spring update today. This is big news, and the first time I have ever tuned into a tech product launch. If you haven’t seen it, you can check it out below. With all news, there are now two parts; the event, and the commentary. Let’s go through…

  • Mothers Day

    Today was Mother’s Day, a very important day. What was special about this year’s event was that it is the end of an era; instead of celebrating one mother from now on, I’ll be celebrating two. Most of you dear readers already know this, but Kylene is pregnant with our first child. We’re expecting it…

  • Chicago

    Today was a great day exploring Sweet Home Chicago with our friends Gina and Bennet. Chicago is one of the world’s great cities, and the weather today made it really shine. The first thing about Chicago that is so interesting is its position on the lake. And not just any lake, a Great Lake. Yep,…

  • Minor Leages

    Kylene and I are in Chicago this weekend visiting friends, and have started off our Friday night by watching the Chicago Hot Dogs take on the Gary ( of Indiana infamy) Rail Cats in the minor leagues. Things are different at this level. The stadium only sits 6k max, and as part of your ticket…

  • It isn’t just who you think

    There is a common sentiment over here in the States that America shouldn’t get involved in the Israel-Hamas war, because “it doesn’t involve us”. Perhaps, but that changes once you realise that there are 12 American citizens who are currently hostage, as well as 15 Argentinians, 12 Germans, six French and six Russians. There are…

  • Chicken and rice

    It’s the most popular meal in the world, apparently, and I got to enjoy it this evening. Don’t be fooled by the simplicity; while there are only two components, both can easily be screwed up, or elevated. Rice is a little finicky. I like to cook mine half stock, half water, and prefer Jasmine rice…

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.
