I’ve recently made big strides on a few fronts when it comes to my productivity, focus, and wellness. I’ve been sharing with some folks lately, and I felt that writing a post would be the best way to convey these improvements. Why the changes? When I left my job and life in San Francisco, in…

The ball tampering event in Johannesburg has saddened me as a fan. What has caught me by surprise is the depth of emotion I feel about it not just as a cricket fan but more-so as an Australian.
