Background Gone are the days where shirts are dull, boring and bland 🥱.
Here comes the rise of the colourful and head turning “did I just see that” thoughts and conversation starters from the 🔗Bad Shirt Club🔗 (previously known as Shit Shirt Club) until Advertising Standards deemed their name unadvertisable, which is utter 💩💩💩💩💩.
I mean just see for yourself with this one, which is one of many.

Alert: Incoming Content This is a very quick post to let you know we are in process of pulling some content together.
We have (well Ryan has) a plan of content for the next few years. Some of this will be public and shown as part of a GitHub Project, (a fancy project management tool like a Kanban board) that will have a loose timeline for when differing types of content will make it’s way to you.
Huh, It was off..? So this thing needed a bit of attention. Attention that due to other things I kinda left it to the side whilst I did a rethink on a few things. This lead to projects elsewhere like docTypes and putting some future requirements for all and previous projects for me to implement ADR’s which are know as either a Any Decision Record or an Architecture Decision Record. Which is a way of saying we had a Decision point & this is how we reached it &background info as needed.
Background Note: this post is written with a UK centric view, for the collective health of all it’s citizens, however can be easily adapted more generally for other countries too.
This article is part 1 of the series Universal Basic Income - the way to a healthier nation!, as well as being part of a wide ranging series of Grown Up Chats articles coming to you in future!
This part of the Series focuses on the what it is and the why we need it.
TL:DR (To Long Didn’t Read) Water, we are, the flow state, we must become! (in voice of Yoda)
We can freeze, boil or simmer at just the right temperature.
Each of these states can and does affect our mental & physical health differently.
We each have a slightly different optimal Flow State where we feel happiest, enjoy life the most and importantly perform the best we can.
We also have differing and complex dependency trees, all getting upset differently when we aren’t able to stay in our optimal flow state.
This will be a short & opinionated post, and as such should be something that you decide on whether you agree with or not. This will just be about using targeted AI’s for aiding you in understanding and then discussing your Mental Health & not about general use of AI’s. That topic will be covered in a separate post.
Should I use AI to help me write/talk about my Mental Health?
This article is part of the series The Power Of that looks into many aspects of life and how they can be powerful in helping with individual management & maintenance of mental health.
Warning - This is a post about swearing intended to educate, without resorting to use of swearing, even though the author was incredibly tempted to do so
The Power Of Swearing This really should be a short post that, for those of you reading that are against the use of emotive language including swear words, also known as use of profanity, should perhaps read on and have a rethink, and you know perhaps give swearing a go and see how you feel afterwards, as I can tell you now, you’ll feel better for it.
As someone that’s been through many types of pain, and seen many go through their own pains, I can say that it really really does. But pain is a personal journey, that whilst we may be able to sympathise and even empathise with those going through pain, I don’t think we can truly be able to say that we know exactly what a person is going through when they are dealing with, even if we may have gone through similar things to them.
Technology has helped keep many friends, families, schools, organisations & even governments stay connected and be able to function during the COVID19 Pandemic at mostly near pre-pandemic levels & in some cases beyond pre-pandemic levels. However, it is safe to say that even leading up to the pandemic there had been lots to consider about “Finding the Balance” between what is a good amount of technology & what is likely to be a detrimental amount of technology.
Back in May I was lucky enough to be invited onto a Podcast called Perspectives In TecH and had chance to chat to former host Don Jones. For those of you that don’t know Don, he is a 20+ year IT Veteran and is well known for leading the way with a Technical Community that I got the chance to be involved in.
You can listen to what we had to say over on his podcast
