Welcome to the personal site of Declan Byrd
Hi I'm Declan, and this is my permanently in-progress website.
Here you will find my journal which includes a mixture of short notes, Mastodon posts, and longer pieces of writing.
The journal also contains my week notes, in which I try to document what I do each week. There are some common themes such as any basketball games I have played in, any Brighton & Hove Albion football games that I've been to, and my media consumption. The most recent week note is 2024 Week Notes - Week 12.
A keen photographer, I also publish my photos to this website. These include photos that I've taken on my smartphone as well as my DSLR.
Re-discovering the joy of reading books, I log all of the books that I've finished on this website. The last book I finished was Artificial Wisdom by Thomas R. Weaver and right now I'm reading Upgrade by Blake Crouch.
I enjoy playing single player video games. At the moment I'm playing Horizon Zero Dawn™ Complete Edition on the PS5.
If you want to know how this website was put together, everything I use is listed in the colophon.
