  • The College Game

    Last night, while I was chilling at home, I was flicking through the channels and found a college football game between Alabama and Georgia. Now, for those who are into college sports, this might be one of the biggest games of the season, but for the uninitiated, like yours truly, it was just a distraction…

  • iTalki

    After 264 days of studying French on DuoLingo, I realised I wanted to take it up a notch, so today I did my first lesson on iTalki. iTalki is a platform that allows language learners to connect with teachers from across the world, and for $7, I was able to do a 30 minute trial…

  • AFL Grand Final

    I am not a nostalgic type, but I make an exception for the AFL Grand Final. As I wrtie this, the game has just started, and it looks like a GLORIOUS day in Melbourne. Those early days of Spring are such a special time in the Garden State. To celebrate, Ky and I have got…

  • Updates

    I write about 80% of my posts on my phone, although 90% of my “effort posts” are typed up on my laptop. No surprises as to why. Today is a rare example of writing a shorter post on my laptop, and when I do this, I often take the time to update the plugins that…

  • Out of the park

    Today was a great day work wise. No promotion, no pay rise, no massive accomplishment. Today will pass like many others. What was different was I pumped out, what I think, is an awesome PRD for our next feature, and I can’t wait to share it with the team tomorrow. This is the first step…

  • Miss me?

    Yesterday I wrote a post about how Fall was in the air, but forgot to hit publish! Alas, my over 250 day streak was broken. It is a shame, but one that is rectifiable by the method my friend Dan recommended, which is to always be writing tomorrow’s blog post today. I think it might…

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.
