Been a bit quiet here, but I have some exciting news to share about my next adventure.

You'll find out from me where I end up in a few weeks' time, but it is a place I've wanted to work at for many years.

All I can say its time to change some minds!

First gym session in six weeks done on a new programme cycle. Slightly rusty but I'll get myself back to peak fitness with time.

I wonder how I'll fare in the pool tomorrow evening for a club session.

I want to get faster and better but I know it's better to slow down now, than rush things.

A podcast with visuals should be known as a vodcast, not a podcast.

When a podcast is done well, I'll happily listen to it, as long as the audio is of high quality. However, making every piece of content as a video is going to lead to low-quality content.

75 pages into Brave New World and its a more complex sci-fi, uptopian novel, compared to the dystopian Nineteen Eighty-Four.

I've lost count of the amount of times "Soma" has been used in each chapter, although it is an interesting book to read from a societal & tech standpoint.

Christmas Day 2025.

Cancelled my Apple Music Subscription, reactivated a hard drive of purchased digital music from iTunes and physical CD records I had and popped it on my MacBook Pro.

Once an albums man, always an albums man!

In the New Year, I'll also reveal my next adventure.

All I can say is it's not in journalism and data visualisation, but my next role does use those skills in one way or another.

2025 has made me stronger and more resilient than ever before, putting myself out there like never before.

Returning to Bluesky on Christmas Day?

I think that was my idea. Nevertheless, I'm rebuilding my social visibility across YouTube, LinkedIn, TikTok, Instagram and now Bluesky.

I've missed having a Breaking News-style social platform to stay engaged with all sorts of other stuff going on.
