About Orbisaureus Notes

Orbisaureus Notes has published since 2022. We write about companions, plot & plant and auto, with a bias toward advice that still holds up months after the novelty has worn off.

How we work

We buy what we test and we live with it before writing about it. Where a recommendation depends on circumstances, we say so rather than pretending a single answer fits everyone.

• We prefer the boring option when it is the correct one.
• We revisit older articles when the underlying advice changes.
• We say plainly when we have not tested something ourselves.

Who writes here

Rowan Barros, Editor. Rowan reports on auto, and keeps a spreadsheet nobody asked for.

Nathaniel Verity, Columnist. Nathaniel writes the weekly column on companions, and is slowly running out of shelf space.

Alice Halloran, Contributing Writer. Alice edits our coverage of plot & plant, and is happiest when a recommendation survives six months of real use.

Ellis Nakamura, Features Editor. Ellis reports on auto, and prefers the boring answer when it is the correct one.
