Day 3 of our South Korean getaway and we take a tour to see the Korean DMZ, and learn more about the war.

Many moons ago, when I used to write software, I realized I was misinterpreting stakeholders, and they me. We were using the same words, but thinking of different things.

Years ago, I was convinced by a friend to play a game where you build a rocket. I didn’t think much of Factorio, and I didn’t expect to ever dedicate 100 hours to it, let alone 1000.

Today is my first dog Ada’s six birthday!

Sometimes I encounter things that are so simple, but so clever, they fill me with wonder.

With the rise of LLM-driven development, my previously ignored upgrade guides, finally have someone who reads them.

I just finished Season 3 of War of the Worlds (2019), and I wish I had stopped at Season 2.

In the waning light of 2025, December 31st, I finished Split Fiction. It stole the easily won “Phill’s Game of the Year” award.

This year, I set myself a goal to try and double(ish) the amount of books I read, aiming for a total of 24 books which is 10 more than last year. I thought it would be nice to share with you what books stood out, and which books might be worth skipping.
