I am 26 and almost finished a PhD in Physics through the Australian National University. My research typically involves shining powerful lasers at diamonds to make them glow, but this year I’m taking a gap and lecturing at Avondale College of Higher Education. In any left-over time I sometimes contribute to the OpenStreetMap project, go camping, read, tweak my Gentoo GNU/Linux, take photographs, ride my recumbent trike, contribute to Wikipedia and chat with friends.
I do most of these things with my wonderful wife Clansi (do you want to see our wedding photos?). We have some pet fish and a cat named Corbett.
If you want to contact me just leave a comment here.
I like this post. and your painted eggs are awesome! maybe when Jasper is...

hey buddy.. just dropped by to say gday.. so, in my most aussie of accents.. GDAY!!! And ‘ow ya gowen? You loving the political territory.. seen johnie around? I wish I knew more about politics so I could be more witty at this point.
Just came home from bible study. Seriously, there is little more convicting than a good bible study. I am constantly trying to sum up my life philosophy/outlook in a few sentences… At the moment it is this. Information is vital!! If you have an open mind to experiences, or you are actively involved in discovering information (ie, school/uni) then you are heading towards wisdom. Most conflicts in the world happen from lack of information… rebuking, pride, humilty, suffering, compassion are all issues/concepts which can only be understood by seeking and discovering.
My tummy is sore.. i ate chocolate cake, and in my old age, I can’t handle chocolate cake. Makes my tummy do turns.
Starting singing lessons today!! It has been nearly a year since I have learnt and I MISS it so much!! Pretty excited.!!
Miss you guys. Love ya heaps. You going to NNSW camp?? I just realised that maybe you are…. YES?????? I HOPE SO!!! (but I also fear that you won’t. poo). Let me know.. I will be there. (will be wearing bells).

Hey Lachlan,
Nice site, in many ways this is exactly what I have been wanting to do for a while now.
I’ve been messing around a bit with making a website (not useing html) just using basic in-built programs for newbs like me
On my site I have a ‘friends of the site’ page, I added your website to it, if you want it removed just let me know.
p.s thanks for the link to that program, found a few other interesting ones on the same site.
