Notes

Over the years, I have become reliant on Google products. I was lured by the free mail service, which allowed me to use my own domain, but since then it's grown.

I recently moved to an area where the internet isn’t exactly great, so I found myself needing to rethink my connection. In this post, I’ll walk through what I needed, the options available to me, and ultimately the choice I made.

I never thought I’d be writing a blog post about loving my car, especially considering I didn’t even pass my driving test until I was 42. For years, driving was just something I tolerated. That all changed when I went electric.

I thought I’d start the year by looking back over the last 12 months and then looking ahead to 2026. 2025 has been a bit of an indifferent year, some good bits, some not so good.

I’ll be the first to admit it: this blog has been neglected. Content-wise, it’s a bit of a mess. I never really enjoyed writing as a kid. Small talk drained me, and long-form writing felt like a chore.
