The world needs a splash of colour

26th August 2025

The below graph shows the distribution of different colours across different photos and objects from 1800 to 2020 from the Science Museum Group. As you can see, there’s a clear pattern: less reds, oranges, yellows and greens, and more greys, whites and blacks. There’s also slightly more blue, but that is far less than the […]

New year, new to-dos

1st January 2025

2025 has begun, and so have the new year resolutions. Many people make them, and they’re usually along the lines of “Go to the gym every day” or “Follow a diet of spinach and carrots for the next year”. At the beginning of 2023 and 2024, I wrote a to-do list with tasks or skills […]

Long time no see

14th June 2024

Is Christmas coming too early?

25th September 2018

It’s September, and when we’re out and about, I’m already seeing Christmas cards. Advertisements for Christmas dinner bookings, Christmas events. And as the weeks pass by, I’m seeing this more and more often. From late October, I turn on the radio and hear Christmas songs. Christmas decorations are being sold in shops around early October.

24th July 2018

The (Men’s) World Cup recently ended – one where we could have got to the finals and potentially won had we scored a few more goals. But, you won’t have to wait until 2022 to sing “It’s coming home” again. The FIFA Women’s World Cup will be held next year (2019) in France. Now, women’s […]

What would you do if you were prime minister (of the UK?)

17th July 2018

Sadly, I’m too young to become Prime Minister. But since this country has been descended into chaos by a bunch of people who’s mental age is 10 years, I’ve decided to put what I would do (about this country’s major problems) if I was prime minister. And trust me, this country would be a lot […]

Why I don’t want a smartphone

26th June 2018

Many people ask me the question, “What phone do you have?” and are shocked to find out that I don’t have a smartphone, before usually asking why I don’t have one. And this is my answer.

Save the Internet

The Internet as we know it is under threat. Net neutrality rules are going to be scrapped in the USA on the 11th June unless Congress vote against it. But exactly what is net neutrality and how does it affect you? What is net neutrality? Net neutrality means that ISPs (Internet Service Providers) can’t block, […]

Social media is a great tool, but some things need to be changed.

23rd April 2018

Say you live in the USA and you have a friend that lives in Australia. Your family can’t afford to go to Australia – and AirMail is too expensive. But social media can solve this problem as you can chat online as if you were talking face-to-face. But this great tool is also destroying lives. […]
