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 Week 38 of 2025.

A keen photographer, I also publish my photos to this website. These include photos that I've taken on my smartphone, DSLR, or compact camera.

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 Strange Pictures by Uketsu and right now I'm reading Invisible Women by Caroline Criado Perez.

I enjoy playing single player video games. At the moment I'm playing Indiana Jones and the Great Circle on the PlayStation 5.

If you want to know how this website was put together, everything I use is listed in the colophon.
