Being a marketing communications person in a human resources department is a very interesting experience. It’s like speaking two different languages; in fact, it’s like two different planets.

Is it just me or is ‘dumpster fire’ one of the most overused, melodramatic terms on American tech podcasts and videos? It’s uttered frequently about iTunes in particular, when most users couldn’t care less about issues in the blogosphere. Sure, it’s a heavy app but it’s not a ‘dumpster fire’.

It’s amazing how much more motivated I am at work when I pull out my own iPad Pro to perform certain writing and design tasks.

There just isn’t enough time each week to listen to all of my podcast subscriptions; work gets in the way…

I just finished seeing Toto live in Sydney and it was one of the most excessive, hilarious and brilliant concerts that I’ve ever seen. It was like being transported back in time inside a radioactive keyboard demo track.

This is the second New Year’s Day in a row that I’ve had to kill a huntsman spider early in the morning. Last year was in my car; this year was in my bedroom. (Shudder…)

I’ve discovered the best use for Apple Pencil yet: official writing implement for Scrabble scores on Notability for iPad! 😯🖊

It was absolutely stunning at Port Kembla Beach this morning; it pays to go early before the crowds arrive. I can now be satisfied that I went at least once during my brief summer holiday.

Corporate drivel drives me crazy. I heard this actual sentence from someone speaking on the phone: ‘We need to co-facilitate to get that up-skilling happening’.

I experienced the worst death by PowerPoint today. It was as if someone had vomited fine print onto slides and then arranged it all in table cells. It should be illegal.

I know that no network is perfect but I continue to be impressed with Micro.blog. I don’t feel like I’m wasting time here. It feels calm and genuine—free of the advertising and garbage that piles up elsewhere. Most of all, I love that people actually respond here; this is communication.

It is so hot in the office today; the word ‘torturous’ comes to mind.

Natasha and I discovered a gigantic huntsman above our bookshelves last night. Unfortunately, it escaped the wrath of our Dyson and hid itself successfully. I’m hoping that it has gone for good by the time that I arrive home from work today, although I don’t like my chances… 😥

Bohemian Rhapsody is absolutely brilliant… incredible casting, awesome soundtrack and unbelievable attention to detail. You can tell when people who were part of the history (Queen members, in this case) were involved in the process as consultants. It’s easily the film of the year.

I loved that you kept the dog sounds in your most recent podcast episode, @gruber.

There’s an Irish accent available for Siri?! Switching now…

The ability to assign shortcuts with text phrases for podcasts in iOS 12 is fantastic. I would often ask Siri to continue playing a certain episode but it wouldn’t always select the right one. It’s much easier to assign a natural custom phrase in the new system and have it just work!

Today I experienced what is quite possibly the worst first-world problem ever: forgetting to take my AirPods to work. Ea... -
