I recently updated my app, Chronicling, for iOS 26 and the new Liquid Glass design language. It turned into quite an intense work period over the summer trying to get this right. Next up, category-specific reminders.

Reading and Watching

I’ve been slowly reading War and Peace for the entire year, initially aiming for a chapter a day. In practice, I’ve read in bursts, but I’m still trying to finish it by 2026. In some ways, the characters feel so alive to me that I don’t want it to end. I’m also reading Moonbound by Robin Sloan and Powers and Thrones by Dan Jones.

As a lifelong Trekkie, I really enjoyed the third season of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. I love the episodic format and balance of classic Trek, character exploration, thoughtful reflection, and humour.

Learning

Having a young child has reminded me of the joy of trying new things. I’ve started learning to play the piano in my thirties, and the best bit is when my kid comes to join in.

I ran a half marathon in March and have been trying to find a balance in exercise since then. The realisation that running slowly is extremely important too has been a real game-changer!
