I first felt Beetle around the 20 week mark, he was the very faintest flickering on my wrist, draped across my wife’s belly in the night.
Later he felt like distant thunder, a couple of pulses followed by a slide.
Now he feels like a cat in a leather bag, pushing to get out.
I've worked as a scientist for the last 30 years, at various universities, a large home and personal care company, a startup in Liverpool called The Sensible Code Company (formerly ScraperWiki Ltd), GBG and now as a consultant in data science.
I write about:
* the books I have read, typically science and history (or both), partly as a reminder to myself and partly as a review;
* science, things I have done or things I find interesting;
* technology, programming and gadgets;
politics, and current affairs;
* ...and other stuff as it takes my fancy - holidays, photographs and things I want to remember.
