Minor Technicality podcast gets a facelift

Minor Technicality podcast gets a facelift

It’s about time I got my ugly mug off the icon for my podcast audio show, so here, finally, and after a huge amount of deliberation, is the new look. It’s distinctive yet playful, and I feel reflects my new energy about creating this kind of content.
MT#36 should be out later today, if I can [...]

It?s not a resolution, honest

I’m not one for new year&’s resolutions. But as it happens, a number of elements of my life have been coming into sync over the past handful of months and now is as good a time as any to make some forward-looking plans – it just happens to be the first day of 2008, too!

I haven’t verified across multiple accounts, but I’m guessing that this is [...]
