Enthusiasms taken too far!'Far From The Madding Crowd' by Thomas Hardy is a small & simple tale of love, betrayal, anger and heartbreak. It's set in Wessex during Victorian England in the farmland countryside. The young, beautiful Bathsheba is courted by 3 suitors: mild-mannered shepherd Gabriel, distinguished farmer Boldwood and dashing sergeant Troy.I summarised the book as follows. "It's a bare bones tale that probably strays into too much simplicity. I found it hard to connect with any character other than Gabriel and even then not deeply so. It's not a great love story and is probably better suited for kids. Personally I would recommend his other famous work 'Tess Of The d'Urbervilles' rather than this one."I hope you have a fantastic day wherever you are in the world.

Consumer facing Artificial Intelligence playthings seems to be getting more and more frequent.In Episode #355 of 'Meanderings' Juan and I discuss: his crappy sleep as determined by an Apple and Garmin watch, why I can see a future where I would stop doing handstands, some random interactions I had out and about, why it would take an AI that could mimic a human interaction to really 'wow' me and a brand new 'value for value' pitch aimed at newcomers.As always, we hope you enjoy.

Small choices can lead to big outcomes, so be very careful of accepting advertising.In Episode #349 of 'Meanderings' Juan and I discuss: how Medibank lost all of Juan's data, the collapse of a crypto exchange due to fraud and other BS, which of the 7 deadly sins cause companies to fail, why I'm somewhat careful about not being a HOSKY shill, my rant of why Bankless/Uponly/What Is Money all look silly due to taking advertising and why it is essential to follow the fundamentals of crypto to not get rekt. #fuckadvertisingAs always, we hope you enjoy.

Today is a mix of physical training and philosophical pondering, as all good podcasts should be!In Episode #319 of 'Meanderings' Juan and I discuss: how my brother is eating 5 servings of fruits and veg to glow up, whether there is any merit in forcing people to do things for 'the greater good', Juan's realisation that he is no longer good at pullups, why we differ on the topic of 'specialisation' in training regimes, why it would be fun to see my dad in a modern environment and the WOW meetup that's sparked Juan to find better ways of communicating in his MMW3.As always, we hope you enjoy.

Are there any current trends that will impact history as much as 9/11, COVID, social media or the iPhone?In Episode #314 of 'Musings' Juan and I discuss: how this topic could be easy to confuse, how history is quite subjective, what type of moments matter to an individual, why current hot topics aren't necessarily historical events, the practical benefit of appreciating the moment, making predictions will necessary involve failure and why Juan didn't particularly like this framework for thinking.A big thanks to Joey Broad Shoulders, Petar the Wise Old Man, Oscar Merry & floydianslips for supporting the show.
