Vale, Roozi

My friend Roozi Araghi died last week. For various reasons, I won’t be able to make it back to Sydney for his memorial service tomorrow, but at the least I thought I’d share a little about him.

Around the World in several books

This last year has been pretty crazy, in all honesty. It started with a conversation on the water in Berowra, just north of Sydney. A close friend and I sat on the balcony, chatting about the general dissatisfaction I had with my life. 2014 had been (literally) one car crash after another, and I really […]

Róisín Murphy at Berlin Festival

I’ve spent the last week or so travelling around London and Berlin. Here’s a short video of Róisín Murphy performing a personal favourite, Dear Miami, at the Berlin Arena centre last night. Apologies for the awful camerawork – I was quite far back.

The Next Challenge

I’ve set a new challenge for myself. For the last year and a bit, I’ve been working at a software startup in stealth mode. The thing is, it’s a good product with a promising future, but for all the attempts of the management team (including myself), it’s not ready for market yet. After a difficult time working through very conflicting […]
