### What do we do? Astrobites is a daily astrophysical literature journal written by graduate students in astronomy since 2010. Our goal is to present one interesting paper per day in a brief format that is accessible to undergraduate students in the physical sciences who are interested in active research. ### Why read Astrobites? Reading a technical paper from an unfamiliar subfield is intimidating. It may not be obvious how the techniques used by the researchers really work or what role the new research plays in answering the bigger questions motivating that field, not to mention the obscure jargon! For most people, it takes years for scientific papers to become meaningful. Our goal is to solve this problem, one paper at a time. In 5 minutes a day reading Astrobites, you should not only learn about one interesting piece of current work, but also get a peek at the broader picture of research in a new area of astronomy. If you’re new to Astrobites and aren’t sure where to start reading, check out a few selected posts from our first four years. ### What is astro-ph? astro-ph is the astrophysics section of arXiv.org, where researchers post their latest work (often before official review and publication).  We always link back to the original arXiv post, where you can download the original article (for free).  Occasionally, we will take on special topics such as results presented at conferences, tips for applying to graduate school, or tutorials for specific research tools. ### Who Writes Astrobites? Astrobites is written by a team of graduate students at universities around the world. We bring a diverse set of research interests and backgrounds to our writing. Please visit the Meet the Authors to learn more about each author. ### Astrobites Committees In addition to writing daily posts, our authors are encouraged to serve on Astrobites committees. Those committees include: **Administrative Committee: Collectively responsible for ensuring that Astrobites committees, working groups, and chairs are upholding their designated responsibilities; Act as intermediaries and advisors to members of the organization; Promote expansion of the collaboration’s work by e.g. promoting its use in classrooms, expanding its readership, or starting up extensions of the site for different media or target audiences.** Committee members: **Junellie Gonzalez Quiles**, **Roel Lefever**, Samantha Wong, Cole Meldorf, Suchitra Narayanan, Sahil Hegde, Lucas Brown, Katya Gozman; Contact: \[email protected\] **Climate Change Committee**: _Dedicated to publishing ~1 post each month about astronomy’s impact on climate change; acts as an advocate for addressing the climate crisis in any way they see fit._ Committee members: **Roel Lefever, Will Golay,** Suchi Narayanan, Olivia Cooper**,** Kat Lee, Megan Masterson, Cole Meldorf, Pranav Satheesh, Abbe Whitford, Sahil Hegde, Amaya Sinha **Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee: Aims to address issues of representation, marginalization, and community through education (acknowledging minoritized population issues in physics and astronomy, outreach to budding astronomical communities), advocacy (supporting diversity and inclusion initiatives in academic spaces) and efforts to make the Astrobites collaboration inclusive.** Committee members: **Erica Sawczynec, Pranav Satheesh**, Megan Masterson, Junellie Gonzalez Quiles, Skylar Grayson, Kat Lee, Olivia Cooper, Bill Smith, Amaya Sinha, Lindsey Gordon, Emma Clarke, Delaney Dunne **Editorial Committee: Ensuring editorial consistency by maintaining the Astrobites style guide, operating periodic editing workshops, and helping the scheduler assign editors.** Committee members: **Jessie Thwaites,** Sonja Panjkov, Kat Lee, Caroline van Raesfeld, Annelia Anderson, Brandon Pries **Education Committee:** _F__ocuses on building Astrobites as a pedagogical tool across the astronomical community.

We affirmatively declare our support for a scientific community open to — and providing support and safety for — every individual, regardless of race, ethnicity, nationality, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, or medical condition. Such support includes ensuring that universities, laboratories, and professional societies do not tolerate any form of harassment, and have transparent procedures for addressing such harassment when it occurs. We reject racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, and prejudice stemming from religion or citizenship.  Eliminating these injustices is the only way to ensure that all people can benefit from participation in science, and we accept this task as integral to the pursuit of science and scientific outreach. * * * Follow us on Bluesky @astrobites.bsky.social, follow Astrobites on Facebook, or send us an email at \[email protected\]! * * * As an independent graduate student organization, since 2016 Astrobites has been hosted and supported by the American Astronomical Society.

Updated: 2024-11-19 from Brisbane Australia Worked at Evolution Marketing Services since 2008, which has from November 5th 2024 merged with Optimate.me, which where I am still working, so change of name, but still the same work, which I enjoy. I’ve been fully remote since 2018 and my current role is as a Senior Solution Consultant. I help our clients understand and solve their problems using CRM and Marketing Automation using Agile methods, see about and tools for more info. My primary interests are family, health, travel, productivity (making effective first, efficient second), Personal Knowledge Management, archery, and of course, motorcycling. Current Projects: * Project implementing SugarCRM for a property company in Australia. * Project updating and improving workflows in SugarCRM for an Australia company that manages Self Managed Super Funds. * Assisting in a Zendesk project where we’re improving the support systems for a national white goods outlet. Also doing: * Playing with local LLMs and training them on information local to the device, I see locally trained LLMs as useful to both individuals and businesses, where their IP is kept local and not sent to the cloud * Helping with some community work in Vanuatu. * Riding a KTM 250 in Vanuatu, and a Suzuki Bandit 1250 when in Australia. * Visiting more islands in the Pacific The countries I’ve visited, in order of first visit are: 1. **Australia** (One of the two places I live) 2. United States of America (Colorado was fab. New York better than expected) 3. Malaysia (so. many. people.) 4. Thailand (Chang Mai. Felt like home) 5. Germany (Münster, Berlin, Selters Tanus, and more) 6. Denmark (enjoyed the train ride) 7. Sweden (Old Town Stockholm was great, company was even better) 8. Norway (Hurtigruten! Fjords! Dog sleds! WOW!!) 9. Austria (awesome snow) 10. Switzerland (beautiful) 11. **Vanuatu** (The other place I live, message me if you visit) 12. Nepal (mountains are amazing, people beautiful, I _really_ miss the Moo Moo) 13. Spain (Mungia, Bilbao, and more) 14. Croatia (Brač, Dubrovnik, Plitvice Lakes, and Split) 15. Bosnia (would have liked more time here) 16. Italy (Tuscany, Rome) 17. Fiji (Caught up with friends, I’ll be back) I don’t count countries where I didn’t leave the airport, so New Zealand and Qatar haven’t yet made the list (yet) but even with them, I’ve still visited fewer countries than one of my kids, she is the real _globetrotter_! Places on my shortlist to visit next (or again) are, in alphabetical order: * Antarctica * Australia * Botswana * Croatia * Fiji * Germany * India * Madagascar * Mauritius * Mongolia * Nepal * Norway * Spain * Vanuatu (because, you know, that’s where home is) * Zimbabwe See what I use to do my work on the tools page.

_(This is a now page, and if you have your own site, you should make one too. Here’s my profile there )_ Recently I bought a waterrower so have been focusing on doing “a row” per day. Sometimes 1km, more rarely (twice!) 5km. Really enjoying the whooshing sound. Completed a short-ish course hosted by coursera related to generative “AI” and software development which was… interesting?! I have thoughts which I will turn into a post. Other than that, reading more books, continuing to work on this blog, walking the dog (that rhymes, yiss). * * * Updated Nov. 20, 2024.

Updated November 12, 2024

Skip to content Ideas are everything. These are the ones I keep coming back to -------------------------------------------------------------- ### Civic 1. **Double the bounty for recycling bottles and cans –** This would effectively double the income some of our most vulnerable citizens make and hopefully have an environmental impact. To prove this I would like to weigh sanitation costs against redemption revenue 2. **Universal healthcare to spur entrepreneurship** – I have a theory that countries with universal or single payer healthcare start more businesses than ones that do not. Doesn’t mean correlation is causation but I’d like to weigh data from OECD to explore this more ### Business 1. **Calendar analytics** – I spend a tremendous amount of time in my calendar. I would love to pay for a service that looks at all my calendar appointments and tells me where I can improve. Heavily dependent on logging all activities   2. **Digital hygiene** – Students have driver’s ed, sex ed and spend years learning disciplines that will have slim to no impact on their professional success. I have talked to many educators who tell me how bullying and poor digital skills hurt the development of their students. I envision an info product or course that teaches kids healthy digital habits at an early age. Targeted to bullying prevention, safety, digital literacy and online research and productivity.  3. **Rideshare trip subsidies** – Retail is dying and there will be a fight to get consumers into stores. Dan Reich has a great concept for Native Advertising that any of the rideshare companies could easily implement 4. **Move/travel assistant** – nearly every time I have traveled one of my credit cards does not work because I forget to notify them. In 2020 I should be able to do this from one portal or dashboard.  ### Consumer 1. **bathroom hand dryer that sucks instead of blows** – “hand dryers suck in fecal matter and blow it all over your hands” I wonder if using a vacuum and maybe UV light would provide for a more hygienic experience.  2. “**Bartender’s base**” – Having planned and executed a variety of events these past few years I constantly found myself buying a variety of large bottles of mixers. I see an opportunity to build a bundle that includes fruit juice, soda, tonic, seltzer and water that is perfect for a small party. Could probably get more margin for the aggregation of it all into a 12 pack.  3. **Set of cards for all the holidays in a year + birthday**, condolences and blank ones – 100% stolen from this guy on twitter.  4. **Trash/recycling can with barcode scanner** – Likely in the kitchen and you’d need to scan before throwing things away but it would automatically populate to a grocery or shopping list.  5. **Frying pan with a trap door** – everytime I scoop something out of a pan I think there has to be a better way. Would require heavy engineering but imaging if you could pull a trap door and drop the food onto your plate.

##### Last updated on 28-10-2024 This is a public list of ideas that I would like to work on someday. This is a copy of the ideas note I have in my Obsidian vault, where I jot down interesting projects, concepts, and thoughts that I find intriguing and might want to explore in the future. Since it is not practically possible for anyone to work on every idea they have, I thought it would be better to make this note public so that someone else might build it someday. Ideas that I’m currently working on are crossed out and have been moved to my projects page. Against each idea, I’ve added a short description to provide more context. If you are interested in any of the ideas mentioned below and want to work on them or collaborate with me, feel free to contact me. In case any of the ideas already exist, please let me know, and I will cross them out with a backlink to the project. **A Search Engine for Personal Blogs**I’m unable to search for content in personal blogs on google or any other search engine. Kagi small web is there, but it’s not personal blog specific.**A World Travel Lottery**A lottery with the grand prize as a fully-expensed, world travel package to visit n countries across all continents**Cricket Guard Line Projector**If you watch cricket, you can see batsmen often marking guard lines against the stumps by asking the umpire. Why can’t we have a laser projection of the stumps controlled by the umpire with a remote?**A cheap running tracker**There are multiple running trackers that you can attach to shoes, like Stryd , but these are quite expensive. Why is it so hard to make cheaper running trackers?**A platform to read both sides of an argument.**A moderated platform where a dedicated page is present for popular topics, and people can read about both sides of the argument.**Indian News Aggregator with relevance**India is struggling with misinformation and rigged news. The magnitude is quite high, considering the huge population, the demographics, and the rising internet penetration. A platform like News Minimalist that removes clickbait titles and filters relevant news would be useful for India.**Global Fish Database in different languages**Fishnames are tricky if you travel around the world. Within a country itself, fish names would be different. A global database of fishnames in all different languages would be great!**Bookmark for Videos & Podcasts**I wish there was a tool to record a particular timestamp on a video or a podcast so that I can watch it from the saved timestamp when I resume, rather than scrolling and finding the time.**Strava for Writers**Strava is a great tool to track your activities. As a writer, such a tool would be great to see the number of words written every day and also get a sneak peek at others’ writings.**About Me Collection**I love reading the About Me sections of various personal blogs. A curated list of the best about pages would be cool.**Evergreen Hosting** People put a lot of effort into their blogs, and most often, after the person passes away, these blogs go obsolete. How about a service that you can pay for one-time or in installments, ensuring that your blog stays live forever? _Update: I wrote about in detail here .

**Last Updated: 11/19/2024** The "/now" page highlights stuff I'm into or doing currently. Also using it as an ad hoc status page for /now 😜 It’s slowly becoming a first class citizen of this website. \*\*\* Check out other personal website /about, /ideas, and /now pages on aboutideasnow.com. \*\*\* Also hanging out in the now.garden /now. \*\*\* **Creative** * Created a preliminary TLJ sketch in Procreate. Last comic was almost a year ago. * Trying to figure out an efficient workflow to sketch on my iPad and do the finished work on Debian desktop in either Krita, GIMP, or Inkscape. * TLJ and AV comic landing pages are back up, sort of :) They need some CSS tweaks. **Culinary** * Made another huge batch of lentil stew and we’re still whittling it down. Tried it over mashed potatoes and topped with avocado slices last night 😋 * We’ve entered into this tempura shrimp phase recently. Seems every store we visit has some form of frozen shrimp tempura with little packets of tempura sauce. There’s three boxes in the freezer now, each from a different vendor 😬 * We're also in a shepherd’s pie phase as well, though my preference is for more vegetarian based nutrition. **Personal** * Finally knocking down some chores and projects on the home front. * Trying to log more meditation and prayer time. * Got my late 2014 Mac mini OS updated after several years and played World of Warcraft on it. Using a PC keyboard and mouse instead of the Apple ones. **Reading** * Thinking of getting this book next: _Setting God Free_ by Fr. Seán ÓLaoire * Emmet Fox books * The Sermon on the Mount. * Just ordered Diagrams for Living: The Bible Unveiled. **Social** * Hollowed out my recent Mastodon account. Made it almost 3 weeks this time! 😊 May revisit it next year. Repurposed it and now publishing short statuses from my CMS to status.lol via API and automagically to social.lol. * Shelved my homegrown ActivityPub experiment…for now. * I think the inbound webmentions are working again. * Got a Bluesky too. On the fence on whether or not to devote effort on a corporate platform. Played with cross-posting a bit. **Techie** Figuring out how to get a few hundred Procreate works from iPad to my Debian desktop into Photoshop format...efficiently. Tried a terminal program and SSH but kept getting random disconnects, forcing retracing my steps🤬 Then discovered _ifuse_ and _libimobiledevice-utils_. **Television** Some of the things we are watching or have watched…definitely an incomplete list. * Squid Game (season 1, finished 11/17/24) * The Chosen * Investigation Alien * Waiting on the new seasons for these. * Brokenwood * Vera * Resident Alien * Murdoch Mysteries * Death in Paradise * Midsomer Murders **Website** * Got a links-only Atom feed up and running.
