My apologies, there’ll be no writing this week.
A personal situation has kiboshed any plans I had to write anything about the past week.
I’m looking forward to getting back to normal next week.
Have a great week.
That’s it, done. The first month of the year is already over.
If it didn’t pass by at breakneck pace for you, I’d like a little bit of what you’re drinking please!
For this instalment, I’m not sur how much I am going to write as I start typing this out. It has been a strange couple of weeks for me on both a personal and professional footing. Various issues took up far too much time than I had anticipated and left me a little on the back foot to prepare a focused article here.
In what I can only describe as a fantastically depressing week, with events worldwide kicking off as expected, but simultaneously going further than anyone imagined.
I wanted to keep this blog apolitical, concentrating mostly on tech, with a little bit of cultural commentary thrown in and a dose of analysis to try to understand how technology has, is and will affect us in the region. That can no longer be the case because I cannot stand by and let powerful (and incredibly vicious) white me in Silicon Valley take everything away to make them and their cronies even richer than obscenely rich.
A picture tells a thousand words.
I didn’t set out to write this. I had planned on writing about the recent paper (Analog Privilege) that I read on a recent trip and came back with many notes in the margin of the printout. But events sometimes take over what you had thought about doing. What is it they say?
Best-laid plans are laid to waste.
Yeah.
This started life in the ‘of note’ column, and as I started writing it, I figured it would be better in the main section.
Good day everyone, and may I wish you a happy 2025.
I’m back with the first proper article of 2025 after a well-deserved break from several activities. I kept working over the holiday period, but I took a few days off to be with family who had returned to the island for a short stay. I was very happy to take that time off.
You’ll have noticed that I snuck in a quick note during that period.
