The Coffee Table

(This is a ‘now’ page inspired by Derek Sivers and nownownow).

I’ve called it The Coffee Table because growing up, when my parents had guests around for a catch-up, they would often sit around the coffee table. It was also the place in the house where whatever was most interesting to them in the moment accumulated, such as photo albums. Some of my biggest interests and hobbies include listening to music, sampling craft beer and I love to read.

Recent News:

• In a few days my wife and I will have a twenty-month-old. It’s staggering to think how quickly time is flying and how fast our little boy is growing up.

• My wife and I are both training for Australian big city marathons. She’ll run the Sydney Marathon at the end of August and I’ll run the Melbourne Marathon in October. Lots of training to stay motivated over winter.

Current Projects:

• Investigating Lychee and ListenBrainz as open-source, self-hosted options to display photos and music listening history.
  
• Getting back into self-hosting my website. I love BearBlog, but I’ve learned a lot since I started using it and I think I’m ready to host on my own again.
