I Lost My Writing Mojo - the Story. Top Story - July 2025.
I wrote a poem last month, indicating that I had lost my writing mojo. I Think I've Lost My Mojo!: I am pleased to report that it is back, at least partially. It was quite confronting for me for a week or so. I sat down, looked at my list of a hundred or more potential titles, and failed to get past "Go" with any of them.

The Host of the Station
I usually arrive at the station just as the train arrives. This time, I was a little early, and my train was a little late. This gave me enough time to lose myself in thought while sitting on the uncomfortable iron chair. My gaze was fixed on the tracks—tracks that help people get to where they want to go, to their destinations, to their loved ones, to their dreams.

From Concept to Creation: How Tripo Studio is Revolutionizing 3D Design
For decades, 3D content creation has resembled an exclusive club with steep membership fees: years of technical training, expensive software suites, and high-end hardware requirements. Even for professionals, the traditional pipeline involves a frustrating dance between multiple specialized applications—one for modeling, another for texturing, a third for rigging, and yet more for optimization and rendering. This fragmentation doesn't just create technical barriers; it disrupts creative flow, turning what should be an inspiring process into a technical obstacle course.

Our Independence Day
Our Independence Day, at its core concept, is the independent gasp of a nation—an intangible instant condensed into history, memory, and legend. It is not so much a date enumerated by flags and parades; it is a throb of liberty, a transcendent liberation from the silences of servitude. By definition, Independence Day is the yearly celebration of a nation's freedom from foreign rule, colonial occupation, or tyrannical authority. But under this technicality is a maze of feelings, philosophies, and obligations beyond the ink of historical proclamations.

Data Breach - End of Privacy?
When the Optus data breach hit headlines in September 2022, it was impossible to ignore. Over 10 million Australians, myself included, found ourselves caught in the crossfire of one of the country's largest privacy scandals.

What AI Wrote About My Diary — And Why It Scared Me
What AI Wrote About My Diary — And Why It Scared Me It began on a rainy Sunday afternoon. I was at my desk, browsing through my diary app—a diary that is powered by artificial intelligence and which I had been keeping for months. At first, it was groundbreaking: I'd type in how my day went, how I felt, and the AI would offer me some feedback. It suggested habits I hadn't noticed—like how I always relaxed better after a late-night walk. Even sensed small worries I wasn't fully aware of. Like sensing a sense of loneliness underfoot amidst frantic to-dos.
