  1. Time for a fresh #introduction.

    They tell me I’m chronically #trusting and #optimistic 🤜 🤛 . It’s a weakness I feel no need to address.
    After the first 10 years my wife said she wasn’t going to explain my jokes any more 🙅‍♀️ , since I didn’t seem to care if anyone laughed anyway. That was a while back, and our #kids now have the same policy.

    Professionally I’m what happens if a #scientist 🥼 looks at themselves and asks what that’s for. Spoiler: it ended up being about people, and how #technology can make our world better 🌍.
    My last ricochet took me from #digital #economy to the one place that hasn’t been corrupted by capitalism: #space! 🚀 🛰️ 📡 .

    I've become a delocalised European 🇪🇺 🇬🇧 🇪🇸 who rarely sleeps five nights in the same bed these days. Not even for the fun reason.

    But I came here in the Great Relocation of 2022 to escape from all that, and to hear about your #pets 😻 and #hobbies 🧶
    It’s quiet here, away from the road noise and the shouting. You can hear the birds sing 🐥 🎵

  6. A quotation from Thomas Fuller

    If thou trustest every one, thou wilt be known to be a Fool; if thou trustest none, thou wilt be suspected to be a Knave.

    Thomas Fuller (1654-1734) English physician, preacher, aphorist, writer
    Introductio ad Prudentiam, Vol. 2, # 1989 (1727)
