From Monday 8 February, I will be working as a full-time journalist at Haymarket Media’s North Sydney office. I’m very glad to be rejoining the team and look forward to a productive year ahead.

Homeward bound

After having spent most of the year reporting from the U.S., I’m really looking forward to wrapping up here and going home. I miss living near friends and family, and plan to settle in Sydney permanently from mid-December onwards.

My year in the U.S. has been an invaluable experience. I’ve attended a few conferences, met several very nice people, and got to see some very cool robotics research in action on a prestigious university campus.

Many thanks to the team at Haymarket for the opportunity to contribute from overseas, and for being so pleasant to work remotely with.

Yet another facelift

I recently was commissioned to build an online catalogue for a medical start-up in Singapore. It was my first experience with Wordpress, and I was immensely impressed by its simplicity, power and ease of use.

So enamoured was I that when the project was over, I had to have a Wordpress-powered site of my own. So here it is

Farewell, Blogger. It’s been fun.

Live from San Francisco

I’m temporarily reporting from San Francisco to get a first-hand taste of Silicon Valley.

The city suits me very well. Why haven’t we got Yelp, Google Maps for public transport and fast, cheap Internet connections in Sydney?

Living in Sin City

I have settled into my new home in Las Vegas and am ready to dive into science and technology news from here!

On the road again

I will be leaving my full-time role at Haymarket Media in two weeks to relocate to the U.S.

I plan to live and work in Las Vegas for a year from February 2009. While in Vegas, I will be contributing as a freelancer to iTnews, while building my knowledge of, and network of contacts in, the U.S. science and technology industries.

From November 2008 to February 2009, I will be backpacking in South East Asia. Check out my newly created travel blog for updates during this period.

Web site redesign and update

admin — Sat, 14 Jun 2008 05:39:23 +0000

It’s been a busy few months, beginning with a month-long trip to China in February.

In March, I joined Haymarket Media as a full-time staff writer for iTnews, as well as commencing my last semester of a masters degree at UTS.

I attended my last ever university class this week. It felt great to hand in my final academic thesis on online journalism and to be leaving student life for good.

To reflect my updated Web design preferences, I’ve made some changes to the layout of this site. Comment to let me know what you think!

Back in Australia

I have returned to Australia, and will be freelancing for Haymarket Media over the summer.

It’s good to be home!

Out fishing

I’ve decided to extend my travels in South America, and am now due back in Australia in early November.

I will, of course, remain contactable via e-mail during this time.
