I was walking through Montgomery BART station in San Francisco last week when déjà vu came upon me. The creamy hexagonal wall tiles (which coincidentally can be admired in Greenday’s When I Come Around video) triggered a long-forgotten one-time avatar from 2010. It was during that summer I’d quit my full-time job in the magazine world to follow […]
Photos from a Grand Tour
For those not on Instagram, I’ve been cross-sharing photos of my travels on Flickr here. I will also try to post a wrap-up of my findings from each city visited soon. The idea is to produce a Startup City Index measuring different parameters from each city such as affordability, community, access to funding and more-subjective things […]
Half-yearly review
I’ve been wanting to reflect on the past six months for a few weeks now. To share how life is going on my little space on the web. I’ve duly titled it “Half-yearly review” and with the absence of a outside ‘boss’, it’s almost a performance review. As with a case of a lot of […]
You were just as I left you
Here’s a photo snapshot of the week I just spent in San Francisco:
Your feet tell your story
Five-year plans are cute
I was sorting through one of my anti-minimalist memento boxes the other day and came across a mind map of an old five-year plan. A wave of nostalgia came over me and I was transported back to myself at that stage. It really is remarkable how paths change. At that time I was preparing for […]
21st birthday nostalgia
I keep everything. Well, anything sentimental. You could call me a maximalist. I have too many memento boxes to count. Old cards, letters, event tickets, photographs, small gifts, buttons, name tags, conference lanyards and so forth. Every year or so, I love opening these boxes up to rediscover what lies within – they’re treasure chests […]
On the go
I thought I would do a quick update about what’s been happening in the world of Kate. I’ve got a few posts saved in draft but want to give them more attention before publishing, and it’s been difficult at the moment to find that attention time. So, I’m currently in the Golden Bay region on […]
Update on the journey
Dear compassionate and caring individuals who give a crap what I’m up to, You might have been confused about where I’ve been and what I’ve been doing. Well, after eight weeks in the US and two back in Melbourne – I thought it was time to post an update. The post to read for background info […]
My manifesto for living
June 2010 To seek authenticity in all that I encouter To maintain a high level of integrity in all that I am responsible for To question constantly and learn continuously To respect others and empathise with their perpectives To energise and excite the environment around me To appreciate and focus on every moment I have […]
Photoblogging foray
I recently transferred my photoblogging platform of choice from Facebook to flickr. It’s ironic because Facebook’s schizophrenic privacy changes have actually instilled the desire for me to be more open elsewhere, and share my images with the universe – not just my friends. Like many digital citizens, I think I have developed a sharing compulsion […]
New adventures
I have a pre-announcement announcement to make. I am leaving my digital director job at Niche Media and my last day is… tomorrow. It is a conscious decision I made just over a month ago and the timing feels heartwarming and right. My affiliation with Niche started in July 2008 and over this time I’ve […]
