I’m sure that if you were a citizen of any of the following empires at the height of their power, you’d have had no idea that it was possible that the empire would one day come to an end.

I’ve no doubt that historians will look back at 2025 with some relish.

Dear Capitalism.

Can you find anything wrong with this sentiment: I like it when people are nice to me.

We decided that we’d go away for a few days after the New Year.

Well, we’ve managed to reach 2025 years from 0, and there was quite a lot that happened prior to that, 13.8 billions years of things to be specific.

We’re lucky enough to be friends with the owners of a fine hotel in north Wales.

It’s the time of the year in which I find that I have more time to reflect upon life.

This year, I was mostly ill – yay!

I’m on holiday for Christmas 2024.

You might not know, but I make podcasts in the WordPress space for a living.

The festive WPLDN event took place yesterday, and what fun it was.

One of the least enjoyable things I can imagine doing is going to Ikea.

When I was a child, the snow would reliably come each year.

I have nothing further to add, I’m too tired.

I recently bought a fairly inexpensive, but pretty good (to my ears), wireless headphones.

If you know me, you know that I love the place where I live.

I’ve not been all that happy about my continued use of X / Twitter.

One of the things that I’ve noticed about myself lately is that I’m getting stale!

Today I decided to go for a walk.

I’m not normally house proud.

I’m sitting here, writing on a laptop.

My family just went on a, somewhat impromptu, trip to Paris over the last few days.

Some days I wake up and have an enormous sense of wellbeing.

This fills me with enormous satisfaction.

I have decided that all the world’s problems could be much worse.

I have decided that all the world’s problems have a solution.

I’m writing this on 9th October 2024 at a time when I think that the WordPress community is facing as big of a crisis as I can remember.

To say that the past 10 or so days in the WordPress space has been unprecedented, would be to be an enormous understatement.

Was lovely to attend my third #WPLDN (WordPress London Meetup) yesterday.

I went to WordCamp US in Portland Oregon last week.

I’ve recently decided that I need to focus more on what matters to me.

I love working from home.

So just now, my Facebook account got suspended.

So we just wound up the 7th edition of the Page Builder Summit, an online event for WordPress folk who enjoy working with tools like page builders, and want some help with various aspects of growing their businesses.

This site is using WordPress to create and manage the content, but I decided to experiment with exporting the entire site as a static site.

I’ve never had hay fever.

I live in a part of the world where the seasons matter.

I’ve always liked folk music, and this is (a taste of) something that I think sums up why I like it.

Humans are really rather remarkable.

The James Webb telescope sent back the first image today and it really does make you think.

So it’s the 26th May 2022, and energy prices are through the roof.

Okay, so this is not something that most people will have to deal with, but I do.

My hope is that humans go on to do great things, like explore space and make the Earth a greater place than it is now… but it seems like we don’t really have a right to that.

Good grief.

This appears to be the year in which… Nature 10 – 0 Humans I wonder how many years can pass in which we think that nature will allow us a free pass in all that we do?
