Who's behind the sheet.

G’day, I’m OzGhosty, a Manly Beach local.

Most mornings I walk the beach from South Steyne to Queenscliff and film it for the daily Manly Beach Report: what’s on in Manly that day, Northern Beaches news, the stories behind the buildings and landmarks, and the surf and weather. Watch it on YouTube, catch the 60-second version on TikTok or Instagram, or read every episode’s transcript on the blog. All the links are on one page: ozghosty.github.io/links.

This blog is my notebook for building a calmer, healthier and more curious life. I write about the things I’m learning and experimenting with:

• Tech: home labs, self-hosting, AI tools and the occasional side project.
• Health & longevity: sleep, movement, nutrition and the small habits that compound.
• Nature & travel: weekend escapes, big landscapes and getting outside more.
• Building things: VR worlds, game dev and creative experiments.
• The long game: investing, simplifying and working toward a smaller footprint and an off-grid future.

I’m not an expert in most of this. I’m just figuring it out in public, and hopefully some of it is useful to you too.
