Now

I’m busy curating a research conference for Clearleft called Research by the Sea scheduled for Feb 27-28th 2025. I’m also looking out for new opportunities for 2025.

I’m still swimming regularly at Pells Pool. The water temperature is fluctuating between 7.5° and 9°, I wear more clothing in the water than I do out. My fermentation repertoire has grown. I’m currently nurturing 4 cultures; sourdough, ginger bug, kimchi and kombucha.

  Work: I’m taking a bit of time out at the moment to reflect on the past 7 years at Clearleft and think about what I might want to do next. I’m really curious about the sustainable and regenerative space and making some small steps toward it.

  Pleasure: I’ve been admiring the ephemeral beauty of Sakura in and around Lewes. Our trip to Japan last year has bought new meaning to this time of year and it has become a memory portal to the beautiful country I so wish to return to. I’ve also started swimming again at Pells Pool, the ~14° water temperature has been a welcome shock to the system.
