Latest Articles
I am gradually working through all my old blog posts that have been collecting dust for years – when I get chance in between working on client projects. I have hundreds of old articles to get through. In the meantime, here’s a few.

Facebook Isn’t Showing You What You Follow Anymore
You open Facebook expecting to see updates from people you chose to follow. Local businesses. Maybe a few familiar faces. Instead, you get a wall of absolute nonsense from pages you’ve never heard of and never asked for. That’s not bad luck. That’s how it…

I Wish You’d Met Me Before Everything Changed
I Wish You’d Met Me Before Everything Changed. That line stuck with me. Not because it was deep or clever. It wasn’t really. It was one of those throwaway Facebook lines with zero context, designed to get a few likes and a comment or two…

Two Hours of Human Connection in a Week
On a Monday night, a group of men sit in a room together and talk. Properly talk. Not the usual surface stuff about the weather or football scores, but the things most blokes carry around quietly for years. For two hours, nobody interrupts, nobody judges,…

The Web Is Turning Into One Big Toll Booth
I’ve noticed something lately. Not gradually either. It feels like it’s happened in the space of a year or two. The internet has started putting up gates. You click a link, you want to read something, and you’re met with a banner. Not the old…

Advanced Technology That’s Strangely Unreliable
Technology still manages to shock me. Not because it’s clever. We all know it’s clever. What surprises me is how often it fails at basic things. I’m not talking about complicated scientific systems or experimental gadgets. I mean the everyday stuff. The things we all…

Is Support Always Meant To Be Ongoing?
There’s something that’s been circling in my head for a while and it came up today in a conversation with another facilitator who’s been running a group as long as I have. Every Monday night, across the UK, around 6,500 (or so) men walk through…

When AI Tech Support Creates More Problems than It Solves
There’s something slightly ironic happening in technical support right now. The more experienced you are, the harder it can be to get help. That sounds backwards, but it makes sense when you think about it. When Experience Works Against You People who’ve been working with…
