X
I have recently been exploring X, formally known as Twitter, for the last few days. It’s been quite a learning experience. My biggest criticism of the app that it isn’t great at onboarding you. I don’t mean the whole email and password side of things, but rather directing you towards things you will find interesting.…

Trumped
Yesterday, Trump was found guilty on all 34 charges. As you can imagine, the news and social media has gone bananas. What’s interesting is that very little of the discourse is about the trial itself, or the facts presented. In fact, despite reading into it a bit from a few sources, I don’t really get…

Blizzard
I had a blizzard today at the Dairy Queen. It wasn’t that great. Think of it just like a McFlurry. Anyway, another experience to be had on this US adventure.

Memorial Day
Monday was Memorial Day, the day where America recognises those who died serving in war. It is interesting that the US splits rememberance days across two; later in the year is Veteran’s Day, where the country recognises the contribution of those who have or are currently serving. Fortunately for me, I don’t know anyone who…

Should we take him?
At the Airbnb we are staying at, there is a stray (??) cat that has been following us around. He’s a very fine specimen, but rather thin, and quite shy. This evening, while Ky and I were enjoying our dinner, he mustered up the courage to join us. He must have been hungry, because he…

A single lifetime
I saw this tweet today on X, a platform that I have slowly been using more frequently. Human’s live abnormally long lives by mammalian standards, but they still feel short. Were I to live as long as my father, for example, I would already be more than halfway through my life. If I was Afghani.…

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.
