  • Lee was right

    One of my heroes of the 20th century was Lee Kuan Yew, the founding father of Singapore. His vision and leadership turned a disease ridden fishing village into a futuristic metropolis. I dare anyone to go to Changi Airport and not be amazed. I’ll write about his second big idea tomorrow, but today, I would…

  • DoD

    Aka Dad’s off Duty. That’s the name of our group (?), or at least that’s what I call it. It’s pretty simple; a bunch of guys who catch up and do something together sans kids and partners. In fact, you don’t need to be a dad OR in a relationship, but it tilts that way….

  • Almost there

    We are almost 80% there with unpacking all our stuff. It’s taken ages, but finally, FINALLY, we are starting to see some progress. Having a useable dining table makes a world of difference.

  • Trust lost

    We all have heard that expression that trust takes a lifetime to build, and an instant to shatter. Often the examples we give are hypothetical or happened to a friend of a friend. If that’s you, I have another example for you to use. I’m thinking about expanding my cooking repertoire. For the last few…

  • Prompting

    I used to scoff at the idea of being a prompt engineer. What an absurd job, writing prompts for AI. Anyone could do that. Well, as of this week, I’m the company’s chief prompt engineer. It’s a temporary, made up, and largely useless title, but the irony hasn’t escaped me.

  • Father’s Day

    Today was my first Father’s Day. It was very special. It might not look like that from an outsider’s point of view. We spent 90% of the time unpacking boxes as we slowly but surely move house. But for me, it won’t be a day I forget. There were a number of highlights. I know…

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.
