My current book collection and organisation strategy
As anyone who has seen my Goodreads or Kindle analysis posts knows, I read a lot. Once I had a bit of space at home, I started collecting books I’d read in the past, and reading physical books more. Here’s a summary of my collection in 2022, along with a little bit of analysis!
Why I stopped moderating Android subreddits
Back in 2017, I was just getting into Android development and spent a lot of time moderating Android-related subreddits. This was a good way to keep myself busy and give back, but 5 years later I… don’t moderate any subreddits. Ever. I wanted to dive into why I lost all motivation, as a warning to others!
Analysing 5 years of Amazon Kindle reading (and how you can too!)
One of my favourite possessions that I use almost every day is my Kindle Paperwhite 3 from 2016. I purchased the Paperwhite 5 recently (comparison coming soon!), and decided to analyse the hundreds of books read on my previous Kindle before I say goodbye to it!
Analysing 12 years of Amazon purchases (and how you can too!)
Like many people, I purchase… pretty much everything from Amazon, especially since the pandemic. In this post I’ll analyse my own purchasing habits, and provide a template so you can do the same!
Analysing my Google Play purchase history (and how you can too!)
I’ve been in the Android ecosystem for a few years now, and tend to make 1-2 Google Play purchases per month, usually removing adverts from a super casual game. To analyse this data, I wrote a little script that is now hosted on this site!

Analysing my Goodreads book history since 2014 (and how you can too!)
I tend to read quite a bit, and really enjoy Goodreads’ “My Year in Books”. It’s a great way to look back at the last 12 months of data, but I wanted to dive a bit deeper, and include my whole collection. Luckily, I discovered a way to do so…
Analysing my YouTube subscriptions & views over the last 4 years (and how you can too!)
According to Wallace Boyer in Chuck Palahniuk’s “Rant”: “… every person is obsessed with himself. You are your own favorite hobby. You’re an expert on you”. With that in mind, I spent some time exploring my YouTube viewing / subscribing habits over the last few years!
The overall cost of owning a cat in the UK
Anyone who has spent more than 5 minutes talking to me knows I love cats, especially my girl Cassie (pictured in this post!). They’ve always been a big part of my life, and to me the emotional payoff makes almost any cost a great deal. That being said, I was curious how much I actually spend.
