Life in Stride

I get all nonstalgic about computers and video games, and try and keep out of the heat.

Today we get into the emotional weeds a little more than usual. If you’re not up for exploring how judgement affects the traumas we share… then feel free to skip this episode. Or go back to one of the ones where I talk about cats. ❤️

There’s nothing particularly trigger-worthy here, and you should be able to expect the same going forwards, but this might land a little heavier than some others.

I get spidey-senses round my cats’ feeders, and think about atoning for the smaller balls that get dropped when juggling the bigger balls of work, life, and everything in-between.

We kick off with a reading of some spam, I tell a shaggy dog story about my large cat, and Brendan rejoins the conversation to talk about devotion to self-care.

Today I play a few rounds of Absurd Trolley Problems, complain about a parking space I don’t use, and wax on about commitment, discipline, and routine. Oh yeah, it’s a real barnstormer!

As today marks another – more significant – resignation from no10, I have a chat about flow states, and read a lovely and thoughtful card from a fellow Keeper.

I bring you a special report from outside Downing Street (not really), we learn that my dad listens – or at least listened – to the hsow, and we have a chat about risk, zone sof safety, and The Out There.

We have a bumper bag of feedback from friend of the show – and of myself – Brendan, plus a random assortment of thoughts on what it means to be seen.

You find me having broadband issues today. Plus I’d like your advice on how we can solve iOS device autocorrect, because I reckon together we can do it.

Today I take a quick peek behind the curtain, dissect my Wordle defeat, wax lyrical about the IndieWeb of old, describe a couple of Shortcuts I’ve built, and offer some teachings from the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.
