Geeze, I've been so stressed out, floundering about, to even think about my upcoming publication, the completion of Shadowed Memories. As of now, I'm considering just using a grayscale version of the cover my wife made for part one. I already have Part 2 set to publish across different ebook sellers in September, so I'll get the cover set very soon so it'll be ready for preorders.

The Korea Venture Capital Association will launch its 'Next Chapter' program in September, offering eight weeks of hybrid training to support prospective entrepreneurs from major firms and public institutions with practical startup education and networking opportunities.

Just back from a 24-hour flying visit to the University of Sheffield with Mrs C and Louis.

Just enough time to soak up the atmosphere, explore the campus, and start picturing the next chapter.

Some great architecture too — captured on a 1976 #Polaroid 1000 Land Camera.

Retirement seems like a good time to get rid of some things that I no longer need in my new life. But decluttering has been harder than I'd hoped - no matter how much I want less stuff in my home.

I’ve decided to step away from Brabham Motorsport as both a driver and manager.

It’s time to start a new chapter in life — and I’m truly grateful for everything this one has given me.

Thank you Brabham & Arnage for the trust, support, and memories.

I'm speaking at a conference in September! (For a 5-minute lightning talk)
Like so many other things related to my profession, it's going to be different as a retiree than when I was working full time.

Ok with the ferocity of these thunderstorms I don't feel like a wimp (anymore) for not heading over the mountains on small roads as it gets dark

Will leave as the sun rises tomorrow!

Is retirement somehow bad for your brain? A recent NY Times articles might leave that impression, but the actual studies it's based on tell a different - and more nuanced - story.

I knew I needed to be prepared for a stock market downturn sometime after I retired. But I was kind of hoping one wouldn't happen the *first* year I stopped working. . . .
