Live from San Francisco

I'm currently 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?

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

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.

Portfolio updated

I attended the 5th annual Sun Microsystems IT Journalism Awards on Friday night, where I was a finalist in the category of The Alicia Camphuisen Best New Technology Journalist in 2006.

It was an honour to have been nominated for this award by the MediaConnect crew after only having been in the industry for about 5 months. Maybe I'll win something next year!
