Kevin's Corner
My contribution to the Croud office end-of-week round-up was first named Kevin's Corner in 2019.
I began to script it once it was being delivered to camera from home, during the COVID-19 lockdowns. It was fun for me, and it worked well as a way we could bring everyone together at least once a week. That was important for people who might have been feeling isolated.
After we returned to the office, Kevin's Corner was still a regular item until mid-2023. I'm proud that when we moved into our office on Curtain Road, one of the meeting rooms was named Kevin's Corner.
Some are better than others.

You might have listened to Sharon Lee who was interviewed on Radio 4 this morning. She’s Bruce Lee’s daughter, and she has a new book coming out next week, which is why she was being interviewed. ...
The Accidental Beard
Sept. 11, 2020 • Kevin Joyner
Over the last two weeks, several of my family and friends have noted my beard. It came as a surprise because I wasn’t identifying as bearded. It didn’t do it on purpose. All I did was stop shaving ...
All about you and Google at home
Aug. 28, 2020 • Kevin Joyner
This week I have converted the windows in my kitchen so that I can ask Google to open and close them. Another thing that happened is - yesterday at breakfast I helped Imogen to fill in a worksheet...

When all of this is over, we’re a pretty good size agency, and we’ve got plenty of growing ahead of us. Some of our biggest moments of growth have been when we’ve punched above our weight - when we...
Catherine the Great and why are we so violent?
July 17, 2020 • Kevin Joyner
This picture is of Catherine the Great’s favourite horse. I think he looks worried. Today is the 17th of July and historically it’s a very violent day. Nothing of any significance happened on the ...
Pretending
July 10, 2020 • Kevin Joyner
I’ve mentioned at a Crouded House before that I bought a rowing machine in December. I’ve been using it a lot. This morning, though, I couldn’t find any gym shorts. I went to the toilet, mulled it ...
Who invented weekends, productivity and the 3-day weekend
July 3, 2020 • Kevin Joyner
Most of us will be aware that today is a Friday. Congratulations on having arrived again at the short spell of rest before we return to another five days of hard labour. I was thinking this mornin...
Oliver, Croud & LDC: the developmental leap
May 29, 2020 • Kevin Joyner
At 5:29 this morning, my son was finally unconscious, and when I laid him down in his cot I was pleased that he didn’t get up. I’d spent an hour trying to put him to sleep, and my wife the hour be...
Kepler's law of coronavirus
May 15, 2020 • Kevin Joyner
Okay so it’s a pretty philosophical one. Possibly a bit lame, we’ll see. I looked it up this morning and found that today - the 15th of May - is the day that in 1618 Johannes Kepler discovered h...
