We need to talk. (ooof I know hearing that sucks if you’re in a relationship) You know that feeling when you open your phone and suddenly three hours have evaporated like spilled vodka on hot concrete? Yeah. That one. The one where you started checking “just…

Now I’ve had a lot of micro conversations about A.I. Some of them good and some of them bad. Like I’ve said in the past. I’m not strictly against it. There’s a use case for it and it’s good for crunching data, especially if the people…

I had a few replies over the last few emails, especially the last one with the audio and where I just asked how everyone is. Like some internet vibe check or whatever you want to call it. Surprisingly. Everyone’s a little tired. Tired of the uncertainty…

So it’s been a while since done one of these audio rants. And well I thought it’d be a nice little break from the ol’ schedule of daily emails. So if you want to tune in and listen to a micro rant and ramble of appreciation.…

I just read this article and my brain is currently doing that thing where it tries to crawl out through my nose. I posted about it on FB but I thought eh, you love a bit of my rant-y type posts, but let me re-write it…

I’m sure you know my feels on this whole A.I. thing. (and you know I’m not 100% against A.I. / LLMs / Tools) If you use them ethically and within the bounds of our own human sanity that’s cool… Most of us don’t wanna spend hours…

There’s always some magical sauce to create magnetic copy and when you want to access is it. Some clown with a $27 micro course will be trying to shill it to you. But after a pretty chilled Friday while lazily watching some 80s trash. I thought…

587 backers and the cult like card game I wrote about a few months ago has hit its funding level. That is absolutely bonkers… What makes it even more insane is that the community is tiny in comparison to a lot of these massive kickstarter projects.…

Years ago when I was living in London. Every Friday we’d have what we like to call a Drink and Draw. Very long story short. We’d go to the local Wetherspoons (back when it wasn’t completely ass) cause we knew the owner. When the time came…

I’ve taken a pretty decent break from Twitter. A lot of my writer-ly friends hang there and hidden in the trenches of #WritingCommunity and various other self pub hashtags and crying about being an indie writer, the common thing that comes up is: “I haven’t sold…

I was lucky to sit down have a consultation with the man himself, Ben Settle. Ben is like marmite as they say here in the UK. You either love it or your hate it and the same goes for him. His ways are deliberate and they…

I gave myself a little talking to today. “Sit down. Wipe the Cheeto dust off your fingers if you must. We gotta talk.” Me to my 18yo self basically. As much as I could go back to my younger self and instil whatever wisdom I have…

You know the drill. You’re sitting there, staring at the blinking cursor. The coffee’s cold, your brain feels like a sad lump of potato salad left out at a barbecue, and the only thing you’re creating is a growing sense of dread. Then it happens. Your…

Heading into a nice little sun filled weekend. I just wanted to take the time to say thank you and how much I appreciate you taking the time out of your day to read and reply to my shenanigans. I’ve made people laugh, cry or irrationally…

Check this headline out “Netflix will show generative AI ads midway through streams in 2026″ Netflix (and every other corporate shytlord) is doubling down on ways to distract you, monetise your attention, and make “content consumption” your default state. Meanwhile, social media feeds you carefully curated…

So a few days ago I wrote about watching some of the classic Final Destination movies. And tonight I thought I’d treat myself by taking myself on a date to watch the new Final Destination Bloodlines… Let me tell you. It was equal bits cheesy and…

So we all get caught chasing micro hits of dopamine while doomscrolling our way through another social media hellscape of the day… Similar to how a rat would inside of a Skinner box except the box is your phone, and the cheese is that glorious, glowing…

Hey you. Yes, you. The one reading this post instead of working or whatever… I get asked this occasionally and so I thought I’d just give you the down and dirty way of making coins on the internet. And like everyone now in this space we’ve…

Here’s how you can build a “voice” so entertaining even your inner critic will shut up and listen… But first let’s hit a little truth. Not everyone’s born with the electric charm of a stand up comic. (R.I.P George Carlin) And you? Maybe you’re about as…

As you know I’m always on the lookout for creatives who love their craft. David Viergutz aka The Master of Malic doesn’t disappoint. Side mission: During the 2020 lockdown I started a $5 letter. I’d write anything and mail it out to anyone anywhere in the…

You ever get that itch? Not the “should probably see a doctor” kind. But the one where you want something gloriously dumb, gory, and absolutely unapologetic in its pursuit of fun? Yeah. Here comes Clown in a Cornfield. Cause sometimes you want a clown with a…

Pull up a chair. Wipe off the mysterious pub goo first, unless you want to lose a hand to the sticky abyss. Settle in, because I’m about to drop a couple truth bombs with the grace of a Final Destination premonition meaning, zero grace, and a…

When you’re online. Your life is usually run by some internet algorithms force fed into your eyeballs on whatever platform you use. They’re cleverly tailored to the posts we interact with, the things we share and where exactly we’re interacting from. Usually when I’m researching ideas…

We’ve all been there… Brain turned to lukewarm, lumpy potato slop, thoughts dribbling through your mental colander like sad, watery starch. You’re staring at a blank page that’s staring back with all the silent judgment of a disappointed parent. The cursor blinks. And blinks. And blinks.…

I’ve been on a Hemingway kick again and so I thought I’d write a little prose the way he would’ve… I think I nailed it but hey, it’s the message that counts. On Sensitivity Don’t apologise for being sensitive. It’s not weakness. It’s strength. A leopard…

So I’m sitting here in my Vader socks (the ones with the little capes on the back) and my ancient Empire Strikes Back t-shirt that’s barely holding together, thinking about what Star Wars has meant to me over the years. Not just the movies. The whole…

I don’t very often get sucked into vidyagame But while taking some time off. I got sucked into Days Gone and today I needed to write about it. And if you know me, you know how I get with these post apocalyptic survival games (obsessive, slightly…

“You did it. You’ve finally scaled the Everest of modern technobullshit… Inbox Zero. And not the fake kind, where you just archive everything and hope no one notices. No. You fought the beast. You unsubscribed. You purged. You deleted.” This was the my day. I kept…

Today your favourite degenerate is in mourning over Twitter. POLITICO wrote a magically glorious meltdown piece about about Elon Musk’s hostile takeover. Sorry, “acquisition” of Twitter. Some people call it “X,” if they’re feeling masochistic. But holy mother of slow motion funeral marches, it’s like watching…

It’s that time of the year when I get some blood work done. Just to make sure everything is ticking over and still working. One thing I never tested before was Testosterone. And so today I found out that the reason for my sleep issues aka…
