now

This page was inspired by Derek Sivers. It’s to give a quick summary of what I’m doing right now, as opposed to the general overview of the ‘About’ page.

What am I up to in August 2026? I’m:

  • I’m teaching English to government staff that’s focused on professional international engagement within/across ASEAN.
  • I’m learning (a lot) about how to use AI tools.
  • I’m on holiday! I’ve just spent a week in Bali, listening to the surf and drinking cocktails.
  • I’m on holiday! I’m about to go for the first time to the Timorese island of Ata’uro, which was appearing in my dreams many years before I knew it existed.
  • I’m doing research for a book on the origins of modern Druidry.
  • I’m developing my skills in divination: currently the tarot reading and geomancy.
  • I’m psyched up to start a full-on campaign to get my physical health back to where it was when I was 39.
  • I’m coming to terms with the fact that the country I thought I was from no longer exists.
