These days, I predominantly write weeknotes, which is a great way of reviewing the week and getting some writing done. They’re generally longer pieces and cover a range of topics. Very much like an infrequent blog. Some of them are reviews of things I’ve attended, watched or read (and they’re collected on their own page too).
But, it’s not all weeknotes. I do, occasionally, write other pieces. This is a collection of more recent writings:
