Update

Whattup, my homeboys and homegirls. 

Given that you're still, for some bizarre reason, donating, I thought it fair to throw you a little update on what's going on at the moment. 

Life is great in Europe. The people are pleasant. The food is delicious. The sun is cripplingly hot. 

I used last month's Patreon donations to, well, pay rent. This resulted in being able to work full time on some exciting upcoming projects which I'll give you a cheeky taste of. 

Hopefully in the next week two little offerings will be coming out, one of which I'm particularly  excited about. 

The first is a video on AI, which I've spent an ungodly amount of time editing now and have been considering throwing myself off the balcony as a result of.

The second is a book. I've collected a load of short stories - and written a bunch more - into an ebook. It's been a labour of love for around 2 years now and it feels good to finally almost have it finished. I'll be announcing it at the end of this week's video. I have literally no idea how it's going to be received but I seem to get a load of messages each week asking if I write, so the answer, finally, is a resounding, YES, I DO, ALL RIGHT? 

Writing a book is a bit like a relationship. Fun and games to begin with but soon you're eyeing all the sharp knives in the apartment and wondering how you got yourself into this mess. 

As to sending out mystery presents, this has been something of a fun and stressful adventure for me. Some have already been sent out. Others, given shipping restrictions, have not. I will get around to each and every one of you but this is turning into more of a drama than I imagined it would. Nevertheless, I'll be sorting it all this week and you'll have your anthrax shortly. 

Oh. Guess I ruined the surprise on that one, huh?

If you'd like to make chit chat sometime, you are of course always welcome to. My Skype handle is: exurb1a 

All the best, as ever,
