A new episode of my podcast was out on Monday just gone, and you can find it wherever you get your podcasts; just look for "A web designer in Harrogate did what?!"

My good friend, Andy, was a nurse with MSF in the Ebola Clinics of Sierra Leone - if you think you are having a bad day at work, put yourself in those shoes. If you want to see why he did that - head to https://andy4msf.com/ and at the very least have a look at his site, I helped make it; any money you give will go directly to MSF.

A quick write up about a book I was given as a birthday gift - a great book about design that is actually a poorly designed book. The writing and the message are fantastic, I am grateful for the gift, but it is a difficult book to read.
