An idea is rarely self-contained. It exists within a network of other thoughts, observations, and seemingly unrelated data points. My brain is filled with rabbit holes that spring from this, and this site is my attempt to give these mad rambles a home. Im intending this to be a digital garden, cultivated in the open. Though you should think of it less as a single, manicured plot and more as a series of greenhouses, each with something different growing inside. ## Thematic Nodes The rambles here cover a lot of different ground. If this site is a collection of greenhouses, then these topics are the various things growing inside. They often don't have much in common, but are a direct reflection of the different parts of my brain and the thoughts that inhabit them. My hope is that you can learn something new, regardless of the field. These currently include: * The application of #OSINT methodologies. * Deep dives into baseball and its #Analytics, from the #MLB to Japan's #NPB and the Australian #ABL. * The mechanics and outputs of #Simulation and modeling of cognitive and physical warfare. * With hopefully many more to come! ## Obsidian The entire framework is managed within Obsidian and made public through their Publish Service. It also wouldn't exist without the amazing source code of [Marco Noris](https://lab.marconoris.com/marconoris). The goal here isn't to publish polished essays, but to show my thinking in progress—the raw analysis, the developing thoughts, and the methodologies behind them, hopefully which might be of some value to you. ## About Me I'm a PhD Candidate at the University of Canberra’s National Security Institute, where my research specialises in using node-based network modelling to analyse both the cognitive and physical domains of warfare. My academic work is grounded in practical application. I've been involved with several online #OSINT efforts, contributing to fighting internet crime, helping find evidence of war crimes, and supporting open-source projects in active war zones. A lot of my work was in the shadows of the anonymous internet, and I'm hoping to change that through my research and rambles here. My professional background is in the media realm, where I built broadcast, statistical and analytics frameworks for my startup from the ground up. Beyond that, I'm a lover of Sportsball, Aliens, and Spreadsheet Gaming, which you'll definitely see bleed through into my rambles. This site isn't just a collection of opinions, but a toolkit of methods and ideas. The purpose is to put my thinking out in the open—to document, refine, and stress-test my work. Hopefully, this process sparks new thoughts, both for me and for you.
