So I’m largely capturing my current set of open web tabs as kottke-style brief links - apologies if you’re not a technical person. I promise these posts aren’t being written by some poorly-tuned AI.

Trying to resurrect my activity here after turtling down through the latest series of lockdowns in Dublin. Just had my second vaccine and starting to feel some normalcy may slowly be returning, despite the D variant’s best efforts🤞

Working alone can be very isolating. I’m lucky enough to have access to a desk in an ad agency for when I need to be surrounded by people. At home, I often use The Name of the Rose to generate background noise, for that reclusive 13th-century monk industriousness.

What I love about Halloween isn’t the license to wear a costume and say BOO! to strangers and their children. It’s the extra hour in bed from the Daylight Savings Time changeover. Somehow it syncs well with my sleep pattern so it’s an extra blissful hour asleep. What a gift.

It’s been almost 20 years since I last had a blog. Time to get back into it.
