Taylor Drayson

Hi. I'm Taylor, a web developer in London. I log far more of my life than is strictly necessary. I've logged every calorie for 2,538 days straight, which is either impressive or a cry for help depending on who's asking.

I started The Creative Tinker at 19. My side quests include developing a WordPress plugin , and co-hosting a weekly podcast with my dad that's somehow at 255 episodes. Elsewhere on here you'll find activities, sleep, flights, and whatever else I'm measuring. When I'm offline, I'm either hitting a ball with a racket or making another coffee.

The Karate Kid

I watched this 2010 action film. It was 140 minutes long.

Note

I don't know if this is me just having a mid-20s existential crisis, but the world seems to be in a funny state. We're told by everyone we need to be doing more, leveraging AI, leveraging this or that. Yet at the same time, we should be doing less, keeping a healthy work–life balance, spending time with family, and making memories.

It reminds me of this video from Casey Neistat 11 years ago - Life in 27 seconds, opens in a new tab.
