I Can Write. I Just Don’t See Why I Have To.
Why I use AI to explore ideas, why that still feels like my writing, and why I’ve decided to start blogging again.
Welcome to my homepage!
Yes, people still have these.

I spend quite a lot of time thinking about things that probably don’t matter. This is somewhere to put them.
I’m Richard. You can find the more conventional version of me on LinkedIn.
I’ve spent most of my working life around technology, business and people. I’m interested in how things work, why we do things the way we do, and whether any of it makes sense.
I used to blog years ago, back when the internet was full of people writing about whatever interested them.
I rather miss that. So I’ve decided to start again.
These days, I often develop my ideas through conversations with AI. Not because I can’t write, but because I enjoy exploring ideas considerably more than spending hours turning them into articles.
There won’t be a publishing schedule or a particular subject. If something interests me, I’ll write about it. Or, more accurately, I’ll talk about it and get some help writing it down.
You’re welcome to disagree. In fact, I’d quite like that.
