Reflections
Perhaps the only thing worth anything are thoughts and memories, sketches of the consciousness – certainly not worth much economically, but worth recording, even for myself and the very few people whom they might interest. It follows then that writing is one way of translating and recording these thoughts and impressions.
Society, it could be said exists on a very delicate and precarious balance. These days, it all seems to be unravelling. All those times of feeling so frustrated at the injustice and absurdity of the ways that things are organised. But there was always bread on the table. There has always been bread...
Soderbergh’s version of Tarkovsky’s film, Solaris or Stanislaw Lem’s book, or both (whatever way you choose to look at it) could be read on many levels.

(The article was first published on La Trobe's RED Alert) Taking on a PhD while working full-time can be a rewarding experience. I get to delve into an area of intellectual enquiry in a really rigorous way, and in a fashion that I'd be unlikely to undertake during my spare time!

About this site
Having recently finished a doctorate, with some new found time and creative energy, this site is a way to rediscover the joy of writing just for the sake of writing – and writing without specific disciplinary constraints.

Having a lot of fun experimenting with this new (to me) opensource CMS and am very appreciative of the community that put it together and continue to maintain it.
This site is to document thoughts and ideas in an unstructured way. Everything here is a bit unpolished, but aiming for unfiltered and raw ideas - consider it a compilation of drafts that may or may not be developed further at a later stage.
