A break in Devon
Monday, April 21st, 2025Stuff I got this year (and loved)
Saturday, November 30th, 2024It’s Thanksgiving, so time to reflect on what I’m thankful for.
Okay, I’m not American… but I work for an American company and have a lot of American colleagues, so this week has been quieter than usual – that helped put me in a thankful mood! I thought I’d share some of the stuff I got this year that I have loved more than I expected.
Focusing on my health
Saturday, November 23rd, 2024TLDR: I’ve been getting healthier this year. It’s gone well, and I’m pleased… so pleased that I feel the need to look back at what I’ve done.

Catching the carpool cheats
Monday, July 24th, 2023I’ve added a new project worksheet to Machine Learning for Kids, based on the idea of a traffic camera in a carpool lane.
Students create training examples by labelling pictures of cars with random passengers in.

Monday, July 24th, 2023The videos from TEDx Winchester 2023 are now live on YouTube – including a recording of my talk. This feels like a good point to look at back at what the experience was like.
Walking to work
Friday, July 21st, 2023My commute changed a few weeks ago – from a short drive, to a cross-country walk. I had to return my company car as we don’t do them any more, and I chose not to replace it. So now I’m starting and ending my day with a walk.
Talking about machine learning for kids
