    Half Way Through August

    16/08/2026 | 3 mins.
    Ups and downs, but mostly ups... cold and warm weather, but mostly cold!
    Wow, what a month to kick of documenting each run every day (on the YouTube channel at least). There's been snow, there's been hail, there's been sunshine, wind and rain too.

    Phantom Obligations and Global Shift

    18/03/2026 | 9 mins.
    Well, since we last connected, the world has changed.
    Not just in the space of AI, but global affairs, technologies, and a whole heap of the usual suspects like global warming, cost of living, etc.
    This episode goes deep into 5 things that caught my eye - from phantom obligations to cultural imagery for different topics.

About Slightly More Fun Than Doomscrolling
This is where I put my phone down, turn my laptop off and try something slightly more fun than doomscrolling. Different challenges with the same idea: to be more human. Right now that's me putting my shoes on for 26in2026... 26 runs a month on the way to covering the length of Aotearoa, New Zealand.
