This Week
→: This WeekLife Hanging out with lots of my friends at 360iDev, which was great. After the conference I’m chilling in Denver for a bit so I got to spend some quality time with Chiu-Ki IRL, and went to yoga. It’s really great to be in a city again! I love it. Work Conferencing, then catching up.…

This Week
→: This WeekLife Mostly just sorting things out before leaving! Booking last bits of this trip etc. Went to Frankfurt for the night, then on to LA for my friend’s wedding, which was great – it’s wonderful to see her so happy.

This Week
→: This WeekLife Spending a lot of time in the gym. I’m trying this thing where I break up my workouts into a shorter morning workout and an evening workout. It definitely ate into my work days a bit but I’m feeling much more even-keeled after being a bit despondent for the last couple of weeks. I’m…
