The Proposition Imagine you are an entrepreneur. You are considering creating a business which makes a new product that serves a highly useful purpose for consumers, everyone will want one. It is designed to look great and has a high price tag with the potential to make lots of money for investors. The Problem There […]
How Do You Know What You Are Supposed to Do in Life? As someone who doesn’t believe in fate, predestination, or absolute free will, I don’t think there’s a ‘supposed to’ anything. As time passes, there’s only what you choose to do and what you’ve already done. This year has been significant for self-reflection (yes, […]
Time to concede, give in (but not give up). There is more stuff in the world than you can ever see, there are more things than you can ever do, there are more people than you can ever hope to meet. The world is limitless but your time money and energy never will be, and […]
2am comes around again and here I am on another mission to save my sanity, or maybe better this time, to save the world. Conversation over dinner last night turned to the subject of religion (maybe unsurprisingly for an atheistic household) and I posited how a lack of belief in god should be celebrated more; […]
It’s 2:36am. Clearly I’m not asleep, given these words are being typed into a laptop literally as I write. Fortunately it’s fairly unusual for me to be this awake in the middle of the night. When I am it’s often as a result of some caffeine intake later than is really sensible, but not that’s […]

I want to know what’s going on. I want to see what’s out there. I want to make best use of the next 20 minutes of my lunch break. There is a big world out there and while everything is now connected and in ‘easy reach’ you have to know not only what you want […]
Back once again like a renegade master. D4 damage with the ill behaviour! Hey pop pickers, missed me? No of course not but then again, ask me if I’m bothered… Deafening silence as expected. Not to worry, I write to satisfy my desires to emote, not for external validation. (No seriously, this really is the […]
I relented this weekend and re-installed the Facebook app on my phone. I did it because I wanted to upload more than one photo to a post and it’s not possible to do that in the mobile browser version. But having done so I’ve already identified the ease of access means the temptation to ‘keep […]
I’m busy working on this post. It has a objective and an identified end point. I do this everyday. It started as an exercise in discipline and an opportunity for creative output. It has worked in lots of ways, a learning curve, sometimes a chore or burden but often a mental release, and invariably enjoyable […]
