I suppose just roll over and give up because we’ve already doomed ourselves? Nah, I refuse. I’m going to do what I can. Even if my actions don’t really change anything globally, I hope that by inspiring others it creates an on-flow effect.
Review: Getting my Japanese food fix (ramen) at Misoya
The other week lunch was offered on the office, and I was cruelly denied my choice of Japanese cuisine. What happened next? I was forced to endure cravings for miso soup for two weeks. (And I couldn’t settled for the instant variety you can get at the supermarket.) However, today that all changed.
Hey, hello, hi
I’ve had a desire for a while to get back into blogging. For several reasons… The act of maintaining a website is enjoyable for me. I need a place to get my thoughts, feelings, and opinions out. I want to feel heard and connected to people. (It goes without saying that I will do my […]
Getting back into aikido
On 27/5/2019 I started my first official class at a new dojo. The last time I practiced was sometime in 2014.

I’ve just backed a Kickstarter project for the first time, and man am I thrilled! Saurian is an open-world game where you get to live out the life of a dinosaur, from hatching to adult.

Followup on RUMPs
A few months ago, I decided to switch to reusable menstrual products (RUMPs). How is it going? (TMI warning!)
Goal Setting
By the end of 2016 I would like to: Have a blog with 3000 subscribers. (Or at least if that’s the combined total of followers via email, Twitter, and Facebook… that would be nice!) Get my membership with AWIA. (If they ever open up registrations again!!!) Have a competent understanding of Angular.js and/or React.js. Film/produce […]
