2026 continues to disappear at an alarming rate.
At the beginning of the week, I saw favourite author Ben Aaronovitch in conversation at the British Library, another reminder of why I love living within such easy reach of London. Ben was in conversation with another author, Mark Stay, who I’d not come across before. I’m now halfway through Mark’s first book, The Crow People, and loving it.
Following that I spent a lovely couple of days in Bristol with my wife, including a phenomenal dinner at Wilsons.
Having been an AI cynic for some time, I’m finally on board the hype train and using AI. Claude Cowork has been the tipping point for me, as I’m sure it is for many others. Claude Cowork is Claude Code for normal people, and what it can do is quite extraordinary and, for the first time, actually useful.
