Content, categorised

Not everything I share fits the same style. Some thoughts are shared fully-formed, others evolve in the open. This page outlines the different categories I use to help you understand the positioning of any particular post.

Alerts

Short-form posts about newly released data, products or services, or developments in current affairs with limited analysis.

By the numbers

A companion to the signal. Data-driven posts that embrace the messiness, interrogating the patterns, anomalies and deeper questions behind the numbers.

Early thoughts

Where half-formed ideas and provocations live. Raw, uncertain and reflective. Shared not because they’re ready but because they might become something.

Field notes

Freeform reflections from the real world. Informal, observational and rooted in lived experience. Occasionally long, but sometimes shorter.

Idea relay

Long-form pieces exploring a specific topic or concept in depth. These are original thought pieces.

Secondhand signals

Long-form pieces based my interpretation of someone else’s work or an event. Reflective and analytical pieces that respond to external sources.

Teachhead tidbits

Where code meets creativity and tech trends spark innovation. From DIY coding projects to the latest in digital tech, this is where I break down the geeky, the shiny and the future of the tech world.

The final say

Reviews of things. Personal, evaluative and usually conclusive in tone.
