Thirty-Five
I’m officially not in my early thirties anymore, and it’s fine. I’m in good health—which is great, considering the reality of 2020.

This is what I was given yesterday by the doctor who performed the follow-up visit to my shoulder, which dislocated during a Brazilian jiu-jitsu sparring session last week.

Road trip in Portugal: the data

One of the goals in WCBTN’s organisers’ mind was to create a conference that had zero impact …

I was a bit disappointed when they started stealing every possible feature from Snapchat, but I’ve kept using it on a daily basis, just like millions of other people.
