  • Puzzle giveaway!

    I came across this puzzle today, and instantly wanted to write about it. I will reveal the answer tomorrow, but let me know what your answer is and the reasoning behind it. First person with a correct answer gets $10 USD, OR they get to come on a special podcast with me where I’ll interview…

  • At last!

    I try to get a sleep in on my days off, but today was an exception. As a long suffering Newcastle United supporter, there was no chance I was going to miss my chance to watch history unfold. You see, long suffering is an understatement, the last time the Magpies won ANYTHING was the 1969…

  • How to optimize

    We had catch up drinks with a few pals today, and it had Ky and I wondering, how do you optimise these things? On one hand, having a gang of people round can be helpful to catch up with a lot in a limited amount of time. Travelling sucks, and a small child and a…

  • Swimming lessons

    We took Miss Octavia to her first swim lesson today, which was just absolutely lovely. I haven’t asked her, but I think she would score it a 6/10. Not exactly thrilled, but didn’t seem to mind at all. More than anything, she seemed a little surprised what all the fuss was about. I don’t have…

  • Magic, again

    I recently heard some feedback about how they hate it when I write about AI, so I’m going to try and limit it going forward. However, this one I could NOT pass up on. NotebookLM have come up with a novel way of sharing information. In this instance, our company was able to upload a…

  • Double-dip

    We went into town today to see Ky’s old work, and when we arrived, Occi had done a remarkably creamy turd. The combination of the roadtrip, introduction to solids, and a three-day brew made it particularly pongy. We (almost) came prepared; and car boots really do make great change tables in a rush. Sadly, we…

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.
