Right before the end of the year, I posted about keeping a habit calendar and the various habits I was working on developing in the new year. It’s now February 12th and I’m in a position to reflect on the year that’s been and how I’ve gone in forming some new habits. My habit calendar [...]

Tonight Australian time, it will be Square’s third birthday. When I was in San Francisco earlier this month Ross and I dropped in to have lunch with Xavier and got the tour of their awesome office. It’s certainly a bubbling and exciting company working towards a big mission; revolutionising how we handle money and transactions. [...]

I stumbled on to this great resource yesterday that Google have put up. It’s called google.com/goodtoknow and covers off a huge raft of topics about how you can stay safe on the internet and manage your data accordingly. It’s very good, very simple and very easy to understand. This video, especially, is very good to [...]

Today was an exciting day for me. It was the first day I’ve spent working at the new coworking space to open up in Surry Hills, Home/Work. I’ve been working from home for the past 6 months and have enjoyed doing so but am looking forward to spending more time at Home/Work from now on. [...]

Today is Australia Day. Rose, Kyle, Marty and I started off the day with a swim in Sydney Harbour, called the Great Australian Swim. It was a 750 meter swim, out and back, starting from the Opera House. Of course, we swum it in our Australian swim wear and even managed to make the full [...]

There’s a group of young people who have just recently formed a group whose mission is something I think deserves a lot more support than it currently gets. The organisation is The Young Centenary Foundation. Science, as we all know, is a fairly important part of our society. Science informs many of the behaviors and [...]

Reading the Quarterly Essay the other day has stirred in me many of the thoughts I came to when reading Stuart Brand’s Whole Earth Discipline a few months ago. One of the things that Brand mentions a lot in that book is the amount of fear that is generated by people that don’t actually know [...]

A few days ago, I posted about how the presence of frogs in a wetland helps to show the health of that ecosystem. When I took that photo, I was on a walk on the property that hosted Railscamp. I took another photo that day, which I also thought I would share here. On this [...]
