What I’m doing right now
What is this?
Here I keep an up-to-date list of the things I'm focusing on and what I'm doing. Think of it as a more relevant and interesting "About" page. Inspired by nownownow.com.

Just got back from Afrikaburn
2025 has been a great year, both for me and for Bear. I just got back from a week in the Tankwa Karoo desert for Afrikaburn with a good clan of friendos!
To me the burn is an excuse to spend unstructured time with friends and go on mini adventures. When else do we get to do that in our modern, hyper-connected world?
Refining and improving Bear
Bear is growing by the day, and my focus for the next few months is to ensure the longevity of the platform. Currently this work revolves around scaling the infrastructure, and making sure that the discovery feed doesn't become too cluttered and remains a cozy virtual neighbourhood for the Bear community.
I recently wrote The Bear Manifesto which details my philosophy and plans for the platform.

Currently reading Unseen Academicals by Terry Pratchett.
I still run The Idea Roastery - a podcast with Jason, where we talk about random topics of interest every 2 weeks.
