This is a /now page, inspired by Derek Sivers: what I'd tell a friend I hadn't seen in a year if they asked what I'm up to.

Hey! I'm doing well, although still recovering from overtraining syndrome as well as a torn calf muscle after trying to race my daughter. So I'm taking it pretty easy on the exercise front.

Back on May 1st, we wound up We Are Open Co-op after 10 years of collaboration. It's all good and we remain friends. We were just heading in slightly different directions. It hasn't taken me long to figure out at least some of what I want to do next.

In addition to consulting through Dynamic Skillset I've set up FIELD STATION with Tom Watson based on the success of, and interest in, our TechFreedom work.

I shipped my first zine last month, a physical copy-only, limited-edition run of 50 which sold out via pre-order. I'm planning for it to be the first in a 3-part series.

Other than that, I'm still living in Morpeth in the house we moved into a couple of years ago. It now has a heat pump, an EV charger, and we're getting solar panels on the roof in a few weeks' time. My son's at university and my daughter will be taking her GCSEs next year!
