Review of 2021

Ultimately it was a strange year. After the trials and turmoil of 2020, we thought we were getting back to normal. But of course the Alpha variant, and then Delta, soon put pay to that, and the year became one of postponements and uncertainty. On the whole though I can’t complain at all, I had […]

Review of 2020

OK here we go… deep breath, and begin.  Well 2020 was a rollercoaster year that’s for sure. My original plans changed, and changed again; it actually feels like way longer than a year. Astonishingly I had one of my most successful years to date, and I ended up working on my biggest project so far […]

Review of 2018

This year has been overwhelming and exciting and it’s probably been the most varied one so far. The stand-out experience was at The Albert Hall for Space Shambles where I shared the stage with an actual Apollo astronaut who played a massive version of Lunar Lander, laser projected onto a 25m wide screen.  But there have been […]

Review of 2017

I can hardly believe it but this is now the tenth anniversary of my annual review, and therefore I’ve been blogging for over ten years – how the internet has changed since 2007! Back then it was all about open APIs, personal websites and blogging. Facebook was a tidy and uncluttered alternative to MySpace, the […]

Review of 2016

It’s been quite a year, that’s for sure. Politics in both the UK and the US have been increasingly chaotic, and I can’t help leaving this year in a high state of anxiety. It’s certainly had an effect on my productivity and in many ways has left me questioning myself; am I really doing the […]

Review of 2015 – the year of electronics

2015 has gone by in a blur – at first I couldn’t remember the details of what I did. There have been so many different threads and distractions that it occasionally felt like I didn’t accomplish much. But now I’ve looked back at my calendar I’ve realised that there was actually a lot going on. […]

2014 – the year of the laser

It’s New Year’s Eve as I write this, the perfect time for little reflection on the departing year. And although my blog has been a little neglected, the annual reviews are still coming – this is the 8th I’ve done so far. My overriding memory of 2014 is that of variety. Whereas 2013 was mainly […]

Review of 2013

As the new year starts I like to reflect on the past year, and it’s become quite the annual tradition. Clearly this is quite a self indulgent activity, and I do it more as a reminder to myself than anything else. That said, I’ve really enjoyed reading my friends’ yearly reviews, Remy, Simon, Laura, and […]

Review of 2012

Historically, I’ve not been that timely in writing my annual review, and this year is no exception. But I have been consistent – I’ve managed to pull one together every year since 2007! And it’s been a great way to chart my progress through my what-I-call career 🙂 So let’s take a long hard look […]
