A collection of random walks.

  1. Nick Cave's Red Letters. If you have a few minutes to spare, please spend some time with these letters. Amidst the relentless stream of junk we now call news, these might offer a quiet moment of reflection.

  2. Cricket et al A writing clinic by Gideon Haigh, disguised as a cricket blog.

  3. Triathlon Rankings: I looked into rankings in triathlon a while back. I never really got to a solution that I thought was robust, but [these] [are] [some] [thoughts] about rankings and biases. My conclusion was that sport rankings have a much larger human element that I'd previously believed. I have lost track on what the latest system triathlon employs.

  4. My time as a high school soccer coach, Seattle, USA I coached high school for 3 years in Seattle for Soccer Without Borders. It was the best job I've never had, and Mary is the best boss I never had.

  5. The Lockdown Music Project

Travel/Pictures

I spent my childhood in Kurseong and Calcutta in India. My youth in Madison and Seattle, USA. Finally, on the first day of the COVID lockdown, I moved to Cambridge, UK, and then subsequently moved to London 9 months later. I now live permanently in [Oxford], where Vicky and I own a home. The village cat spends more time at our house than we do. Below are a few pictures of places we've been lucky to see. I took the low-quality photos. The pretty ones were captured by my wife, Vicky. I plan to write an open-source self-hosting software which is a bit more defensive against being scraped by our AI overlords. But for now, I bow to Mother Google.

  1. Road Trip Across Alaska, USA An Irish man and a Brit rent an RV, with no prior experiences with RVs, to drive across Alaska. What could go wrong? -- A fair amount, but we are still here, so it could not have been that bad.

  2. Backpacking In Glacier National Park, Montana, USA Underprepared and underfed.

  3. Mailbox Peak, Washington, USA Church: Modern medicines cure to all illnesses.

  4. Seattle To Portland, USA 205 mile bike ride.

  5. Manchester Marathon, UK My first marathon and Vicky's fastest.

  6. Random Assortment Of Small Triathlon Races, UK Many good days suffering on the wheel of my good friend Alexander Miles

  7. Colorado National Park, Pikes Peak, Mount Bierstead, USA And some more peaks whose names I've forgotten. some more pics and some more. I've been to Colorado ALOT!

  8. Flat Iron Free Solo, Boulder, USA Otherwise known as the unbound stupidity of youth

  9. Summer In Berkeley At The Simon's Institute, USA Met a lot of clever people at the institute, and a few rattlesnakes in the Berkeley Hills. Long days reading followed by outdoor sunny swims. Californians are living the dream and they don't even know it. When I get time, I'd like to write down despite what I just said, I'd never want to live here.

  10. Leavenworth, Washington, USA First attempt at climbing outdoors with a rope. Hated it -- turns out I do not like heights.

  11. Edinburgh, Scotland I feel about this city how many people feel about Paris. It is MAGIC

  12. Snowdonia National Park, Wales Under-appreciated part of the world.

  13. Lake District Steeper than it looks, and check out that dreamy cricket pitch.

  14. Devon/Cornwall/Exmoor Some photos of our wedding.

  15. Ragnar Pacific Northwest Trail Found a good group of people to sit in a van and run across the North West in turns.

  1. Madison, Wisconsin, USA 7 well spent years at University

  2. Kurseong/Darjeeling, India: Years spent in my youth in the Himalayan foothills.
