  • Anti-Social Media and the Never Ending Argument

    Reading Time: 2 minutesIf I was new to anti-social media I would see it as a complete and utter waste of time. On one side you have influencers and like culture where value is measured in likes and followers rather than meaningful conversations. On the other side you have anonymous accounts that look for arguments…

  • Post tomorrow

    Reading Time: < 1 minutepost tomorrow

  • Self Driving Cars and Mobility

    Reading Time: 3 minutesToday I filled in a survey with the premise "Impact of automated vehicles on walking" and it gave me an opportunity to share my views on this topic. The short version is that I’d rather see more bike sharing opportunities, and more safe routes for pedestrians between villages and towns, than self…

  • Running from Eysins to Prangins Via Nyon

    Reading Time: 2 minutesToday my watch said that I should run for 36 minutes or so so I obeyed. As a result of running for 36 minutes I got to Prangins and made it part of the way back before stopping and walking. In the process I ran for 5.8 kilometres rather than 5 and…

  • Running Calmly

    Reading Time: < 1 minuteWeeks ago I started running again, but this time my goal is to run calmly. By this I mean that I ran until I felt pain, and stopped, over and over, until finally I ran with Wake Up and Ran and covered 5km. Since then I have been running 5k consistently.…

  • Spontaneous Publibike Ride

    Reading Time: 3 minutesWe are all familiar with it. We get a phone call. "I will be in Nyon in 20 minutes, do you want to meet". We think, duck, that’s short notice. Do we take the bike? No, because we don’t want to leave it unattended. Do we take the car? No, because then…

  • MacBook Pro Battery Replacement

    Reading Time: 2 minutesI have a 2016 MacBook Pro that now requires me to swap the battery. The issue is that because this is a machine from 2016 it is seen as obsolete by Apple. This means that Xcode and other apps no longer get updated. Neither does Final Cut Pro X and other apps.…
