  • To Blog Or To Newsletter, That Is The Question

    Reading Time: 2 minutesWith the sudden growth of audiences for newsletter writers on sub stacks as they start to use Notes so the question emerges on whether to dump blogging, for news lettering. In theory by news lettering on Substack we grow an audience that is pre-packaged and ready to go.  The drawback is that…

  • A Short Lived Interest in Substack Notes

    Reading Time: 2 minutesWhen I heard about Substack Notes I felt an interest in the project.

    Reading Time: 2 minutesFor one hundred and fifty six days I walked 10 thousand steps or more, before I broke my streak by going for two bike rides. The first one was a twenty five kilometre loop. The second was a more ambitious 51km loop. I ended up in Geneva, by the Palais Des Nations.…

  • The Futility of Blogging

    Reading Time: 2 minutesI have been writing blog posts every single day for one hundred and fourty five days and rather than feel more inspired, and get a big audience, I am writing for an audience of one. Some days I am filled with inspiration and I write the blog post in twenty minutes or…

  • Thirty Kilometres Per Day

    Reading Time: 3 minutesThe Swiss travel an average of 30 kilometres per day in their cars, according to a new survey shared by the Radio Television Suisse. I walk 14 to twenty kilometres per day, and if I go for a bike ride I travel 30 kilometres. I use the car twice a week, for…
