The Asterisk

I raced my second triathlon at the weekend, except it wasn't one. The Outlaw Sprint in Nottingham had the swim cancelled because of algae in the lake, which is just one of the joys of outdoor swimming, so the day became a duathlon instead. A 1.6km run,

Accurate Enough

I've been testing the Garmin Cirqa for a few days, trying to figure out where this device sits and gaging the market to see where it fits. On thing I have noticed on every Reddit thread and YouTube review I watch, the same question of how accurate it

Agents Everywhere, Apparently

For the last few years companies have been working hard to convince us that AI is going to replace huge swathes of jobs and workers. This isn't cynical marketing from a few outliers, it seems to be a genuine belief held at the top of some of the
