I run tech conferences (links below), take lots of photos, and watch too much sport. But I get weekends off, and I'm my own boss.

@wolfalicefans.bsky.social Hello Keith! 👋 Good move getting started here, given the way things are going under Space Karen in that other place.

Given my habit of posting WA gig photos on FB, it would be rude not to kick off by doing the same here - Brighton Dome, 22nd March 2016. 🙂

This feels like sad news - I know Smithfield Market very well, having had an office nearby for several years, and run numerous conferences in the area.

It'll be interesting to see exactly what ends up replacing the meat market, other than the London Museum.

I'm less of a "grab life by the horns" person. More like a clammy handshake

Another autumnal photo from the local park in St Albans, with a fair bit of processing 📷 🎨
