First up, let me say that I’m sorry for the long silence. It wasn’t voluntary. I actually tried a few times to write posts, but what I produced was unpublishable. Since the last blog article, I fell into a gully of worsening symptoms that seemed to have no end. Over the months, I made severalRead the full article
The second half of 2021 ended well. I was able to work slightly longer hours without hitting those dreaded brain lockups that can last for weeks. If you’re wondering why I didn’t just sign out of everything until fully recovered, it doesn’t really work that way. A complete break is a good start, but recoveryRead the full article
Hello all. As you’ve probably noticed by now, I’m not a super-prolific blogger, preferring to pour available energy into the books rather than the website.

Hello all. I hope this finds you safe and well. Perhaps like me, you have been put into a more reflective state of mind by the Coronavirus outbreak. In some ways, it seemed an appropriate moment to reach out, yet at the same time I’m strangely silenced by what is happening around us. I’m almostRead the full article
Greetings everyone! Over the past few years I’ve had the pleasure of corresponding with many of you, but recently I’ve been unable to keep up with all the questions. I thought the best way to stay in touch would be a blog post that gives in-depth answers to the questions I get most often. SometimesRead the full article
“I’m willing to tell you. I’m wanting to tell you. I’m waiting to tell you.” Often, that’s how I feel about book 2. And the setting in which that line was spoken has a lot to do with where this post is going. Over the past three years, most of the environments I’ve had toRead the full article
As a child, I never had any trouble dreaming. The ideas I dreamed up, often during the excellent opportunities afforded by afternoon maths classes, had a way of growing to alarming proportions and becoming projects that allowed me little sleep.

Adventure and comfort are not synonyms. I doubt they’re even friends. With exceptions like tropical Goa and luxurious Bollywood, comfort is not what people envision when they think of India, but this is a country that certainly can be an adventure.
