New blog "An ending of sorts" which celebrates a significant milestone in writing, as well as looking how writing has helped me, especially during the pandemic...

Last night I had a frankly terrifying dream where I was attending an AI forum at NORAD.
And somehow I dropped a catering donut which dozed jelly into the computer that controls the launch codes... 😅
Great to see a new #testing meet-up in #Wellington

IT folks love a gimmick that's gonna make everything easier...
ALT Can you dig out that old pitch and replace crypto with AI?
The Paris 2024 Olympics were a lot of fun, but also an opportunity to reflect.

What about Imane Khelif's dreams? And when will this world simply allow intersex and trans people to dream?
I love the sport of the Olympics.
But I strongly dislike how the existence of every trans athlete is used as an opportunity for hate speech and misgendering...
Seeing Simone Biles do well at the Olympics is always great.

For eight months now I've been using a Mac at work. a Windows machine at home.
Let me tell you, there's a real context shift in cognitive capacity working between the two and remembering if it's CTRL + C or CMD + C to copy and paste...
Enjoyed a three hour inclusive dance session today. Was fun and I learned a lot about "being present in the moment", which I need a lot.
I reflected as well about how important it is when entering a safe space to make yourself worthy of it. 💜💜💜

Rishi Sunak has offered his resignation to The King but Keir Starmer has yet to be appointed as Prime Minister, so who's in charge? Me.
Good to see the election result in the UK.
When David Cameron led the Tories to victory in 2010, he promised a brand of compassionate Conservatism. That's not been many of my friends experiences...
