What I’m doing now

At work

• Doing consulting and implementation work with a variety of clients via my web studio 16by9.
• Writing The Website Redesign Handbook.
• Sending Working Notes, a short and useful newsletter for people who look after websites.
• Reflecting on the past year and planning for Q1 2026.
• This year has been one of the toughest environments I've experienced in the 10 years or so I've been self-employed. So, I've started working with a coach to improve my marketing habits.

Personally

• Celebrated our daughter's first birthday. We survived the first year as parents! It's been a whirlwind, but I wouldn't change a thing.
• Planning to embrace a little minimalism next year. Sorting through our stuff, donating and recycling what we can, and reducing what we own.
• Reading and writing whenever I can.
• Taking photos in the little free time I have.

Currently reading

• The Spy and the Traitor: The Greatest Espionage Story of the Cold War by Ben Macintyre

I keep a log of the books I've read.
