The Coffee Table
I stopped using social media a number of years ago. Instead, I made a now page.
I've called it The Coffee Table because growing up, when my parents had guests around for a catch-up, they would sit around the coffee table and chat about what was happening 'now'. I also find it's the place in the house where the things that are most relevant to 'now' accumulate.

Recent News:
- My wife ran an absolute blinder of a second marathon at the Sydney Marathon at the end of August. I thoroughly enjoyed a spectator with our little boy.
- I threw the kitchen sink at my own marathon attempt at the Melbourne Marathon this October. It didn't quite go how I wanted it to, but it was a great day out nonetheless.
Current Projects:
- I haven't written a blog post or devoted time to personal projects in months. Just haven't had the time with my PhD work ramping up. I've elected to allocate any extra project or 'learning' time to better understand some of the fundamentals that are necessary in my field of research - i.e biostatistics and biochemistry
- That said, with marathon training now over, I'm looking forward to getting back into bird watching and I'm reading a lot again, after a bit of a lull in the middle of this year.
