Now
What I'm up to. Last updated 31st January 2025.
Travelling
- Heading north - Spending some time in Munich and Copenhagen before returning to warmer climes.
Writing
- A small newsletter - Eclectic writing for a handful of my closest friends.
- Specialism vs generalism - Identifying effective polymathy and resolving the tension between a generalist skillset and a specialist-first market.
Reading
- Cloud Forensics Demystified - You would think after medicine, programming and crypto I would have built up a tolerance for weird and arcane fields.
- A Country Doctor's Notebook - I still have a soft spot for physician writers and their work.
Listening
- Metamuse - Cerebral product design takes focusing on craft over careers or trends. Dismayed to find it on hiatus as it's really excellent.
Playing
- Cyberpunk 2077 - Resonant, rich, reminiscent of London at times.
Learning
- Guitar - Taking a more disciplined approach to music, having never really graduated from the "grimy student bar" level. Dipping my toes into classical guitar, and lots of Pumping Nylon.
- Godot - Betting on open source, testing myself as a solo creative and pining for "a heroic age of games authorship".
