I co-founded newCardigan, an independent social organisation for GLAM workers.
Previously I served on the VALA Committee for 7 years, and the In the Library With the Lead Pipe Editorial Board for two years.
I also host some online spaces:
Aus GLAM Blogs collects blog posts from Australasian workers in cultural institutions. It runs on my Rockpool software.
ausglam.space is a social media platform for the same people, running Darius Kazemi's Hometown fork of Mastodon

👍 Stuff I like
Podcasts
You should check out Against the grain, Tech won't save us, and Live like the world is dying for all your anarchist listening needs.
Technology
Gemini is a fun new protocol running on the Internet. It's like the Web but without all the annoying bits.
Rust is a powerful and relatively new programming language designed for safety and performance. I've been learning how to write compiled software programs with it.
I'm also a big fan of running hot water.
