You can’t beat sleep
I have tried. After white-knuckling through two weeks of uncomfortable sweltering in Europe, and then clawing my way through jet-lag, it all caught up with me today. At 3pm, it hit me like a wave, and drove me, practically slurring, into bed. I wouldn’t budge for two hours. It’s 9PM now, and I am already…

It’s Joever
Joe Biden has dropped out of the race, sending the biggest shockwave through American politics since Donald Trump was half an inch away from being red-misted on national TV. No hot takes from me today. I’m going to deep fry myself tomorrow in hot takes from different voices, and then let you know what is…

The proof is in the pudding
There are many times where we think we have done well, but there remains a level of ambiguity until the results are in. Some universal examples include receiving your marks back from a test you know you aced (or didn’t!), or slicing into your steak and seeing it perfectly medium rare. There is a moment…

Global outage
Every few years, there is a local or global outage of technology. In 2018, Optus (an Australian telco) spent a fortune buying the rights to FIFA World Cup, and ended up bungling the delivery so badly that they ended up providing the service for free. While this was definitely the right thing to do, whenever…

Comparison as a provider of joy
I flew back to London today on perhaps the world’s most famous budget airline, Ryan Air. As usual, it was a terrible experience. Delayed by an hour, bag stuck on a different carousel, and my attempted nap was abruptly disturbed by pitches to buy duty free fags AND scratchies. That said, I’m not actually that…

AI for humanity
I’m doing AirBnb old school while in Barcelona. Staying with a local, upstairs in his art studio. In many ways it’s a disaster. But in others ways it is magical. The host, Antoni, is kind and gregarious. As I write this, if is just past midnight, and he is showing me his art. It’s not…

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.
