I forgot to buy eclipse glasses, but saw the eclipse anyway via shadows on the wall. So lucky! #eclipse #solareclipse #eclipse2026
Golden crescents scatter over a rectangular section of a dark brown wall, giving it a feathery texture. It's the eclipse naturally projected through a window.

Spare a thought for Rupert Lowe. 16 kids and their teacher were slaughtered in Dunblane, another 15 were shot and wounded. Hundreds more were traumatised and grief stricken, but Rupert's dad had to give up his shooting hobby. There's no violin small enough.

Saying yes to new speaking engagements in Europe — it’s remarkable to me how the conversations about in-person vs virtual presentations have changed since the Pandemic and the “normalization” of virtual presentations. Virtual used to be rare, now it’s as common as travelling. Saves $ and emissions.
