Being a dad

You've got to make your own fun. Bonus points if you make a human then teach them to be fun.

The Common

I've taken this photo so many times I miss Southampton Common. There's so many good trees and

Oxford is such an unwelcoming city. There are signs everywhere telling you what you're not allowed

It's not my home-home, but Southampton is the first place Charlotte and I lived together, and it's o

Search all things comedy poker on YouTube so I don't have to live in this YouTube hole on my own.

The older Tabitha gets, the more I need to keep my eye on her when we're out. And, being honest, t

I've never really been into Smash. It always felt like such a silly format for a 2D fighting gam

Once again resisting the temptation to conform to the masses and list a load of music that just came

Right now, drones are in the news because they're fucking everyone's holiday plans at Christmas. The

One of Tabitha's friends recommended the Narnia Chronicles. I don't know anything about Narnia Chronicles but I'm all about broadening my horizons.

We just finished The Magician's Nephew (we're reading the internal chronological order, not the published order do not @me) and I am captivated. I'm thinking about this book all day. We start reading bedtime stories at 5pm because I want this book in my life.

I think the new iPad Pro might be my favourite computer ever. Previous holders of this accolade have been the MacBook Air, iPhone 3G, iPhone X, and the 2017 MacBook Pro.

The iPad has always been my Best Computer For People Who Don't Do Computers, but the 2018 iPad Pro is just my favourite.

If you're a USB type-C convert like I am, then you will know that anything that lacks USB type-C is a completely pointless waste of your time.

A good feeling

I'd wager that one unexpected message from someone who means a lot to you is worth more than all

Not saying that my daughter is the sweetest girl who ever lived, but this morning the dog was crying and woke her up so she got up and let him into her room so he wasn't on his own any more.

A fly flew into my eye I'm not crying shut up.
