Writing for a 100 consecutive days, first in 2026. No rhyme or reason, just stuff and thoughts that bubble to the fore.

61. More AI Stuff
AI and its use in the Investment space came up on a podcast I listen to from time to time, featuring Sarah Ketterer of Causeway Capital Management. Whilst adopting AI at her firm, they are focused on keeping humans in the loop, using AI as an enabler, not as a decision maker. Not too dissimilar… Continue reading

60. Re: 5 Albums
5 Albums which shaped me. Found on Olly’s post which was in turn inspired by Martin’s. Written as part of the JulyReply series Continue reading

59: Re: How I Use AI
(Gen) AI and its impact on life, the future of work and pretty much everything in between has been on my mind for quite some time, more so of late. It hasn’t helped that Co-pilot has been rammed down our collective throats at work for the better part of a year, in the name of… Continue reading

58. Joining JulyReply
The very productive Robert Birming (how does he manage to keep his online projects going?) is at it again, this time with JulyReply. It is another one of those initiatives which focuses on building community. The core idea is [r]eplying to others’ blog posts in a “Re:” format. As I have used the format sparingly… Continue reading

57. (Stories of) A Thousand Splendid Women
Finally finished Kate Mosse’s tome, Warrior Queens and Quiet Revolutionaries after having it on my to-read list since it made an appearance on the Empire podcast. Part biography, part celebration of femininity, it was great to see a few names I know crop up. For a final word, I have to go to the afterword:… Continue reading

56. On Becoming a Tactical Slacker
Someone, a Black-British celebrity/ intellectual of sorts, who I follow on Twitter posted a link to a substack article which hit far too close home. The article, I did no work for a year and no one noticed, delves into the crisis of meaning which is apparently endemic to corporate life and the author’s experience… Continue reading

55. JUnited, The Wrap
And so this year’s edition of JUnited comes to an end, a first for me. I missed a few days but gave it a good shot, I think.I’ll add a few more links over the next few days to make up the 30 for the 30 days of June. In going over the links, a… Continue reading

54. History Maker – Delirious? – Life in A Song
The farewell tour which features the “Fabula est Vestri” quip (the story is yours) – which may be a mistranslation. :) Continue reading

53. Collectivist v. Individualistic?
Of my X/Twitter follows, @eldivine tweeted something which caught my attention. Whilst I am not entirely sure I agree, there is a kernel of truth there. One could argue that it is the black tax writ large, with all its negative connotations. That does not account for things like the Igbo system of patronage in… Continue reading

52. Going Walkies
F, the soon to be 16 month old, seems to be doing things at pace: not talking yet but humming along to several nursery rhymes, pretending to take phone calls and more importantly walking alot. Since discovering the ability to walk, it has been tons of walking everyday. I guess I no longer have an… Continue reading
