Feld Notes

Dec 2019

This is Pickles, our resident guinea pig (statue) that we haven’t mentioned before. It sits on top of our bookshelves and while most visitors seem to think it’s cute, @NTKF’s sister is terrified of it and insists that it’s creepy. 😂

Today @NTKF and I had a wonderful time with my mum and sister, during what will likely be our one time swimming this summer holiday before visiting the US in January. These photos show Port Kembla Beach from the local Olympic pool. ❤️☀️🌊

A walk along Wollongong’s Blue Mile is a perfect way to end Boxing Day.

In the seventh episode of the Lounge Ruminator podcast, Look Yonder!, I discuss the value of being truly present and attentive at live performances, along with how different kinds of product (smart or otherwise) can either inhibit or encourage this positive behaviour. 🎙

Dec 2019

It’s not my favourite thing to do but we’re taking advantage of the Boxing Day sales for useful stuff before our trip to GLORIOUS NATION OF U, S AND A. @NTKF cleverly placated me with a double-shot flat white and apple and cinnamon burek before we started.

Django, my brother’s-in-law Christmas pooch

Well, that’s a bit confusing…

When Christmas presents must be protected from family members’ dogs… (apparently they still got around it!).

THE FESTIVUS FEATS OF STRENGTH (at a local swimwear shop, with sister Jodie in the offensive position) 😮😮😮

Dec 2019

We wish a Happy Festivus to all! May your grievances be aired freely and feats of strength be on display! Here we are gathering as a Feld-Kandilas combo around the fabled, tinsel-free pole.

The transformation of the entertainment unit’s shelving into a majority book nook is now complete. Pâté the Duck looks pleased. 📚🦆

Why did I spend all of that money on an iPhone 11 Pro? To stick lenses in the faces of cute rodent friends…

Dec 2019

Luminous beings are we… not this crude matter!

Dec 2019

I just finished watching The Mask with @NTKF, who hadn’t watched it before. This film, along with other Jim Carrey classics, was essentially my childhood. Not to mention, the song Hey, Pachuco! has to be one of the most entertaining musical numbers ever in a movie.

Sharing Home screens looks fun, so I thought that I’d jump on the bandwagon with a new page.

Here’s an obligatory Rise of Skywalker post: do not read negative clickbait reviews; the movie is excellent and a lot of fun. Enjoy watching movies without submitting to Internet interference. Thank you for your attention. 👨🏽‍💻

In the mood for more Sydney Harbour shots, so apologies for filling your feeds!

Dec 2019

I’ll never get sick of this place.

Dec 2019

In the latest episode of Lounge Ruminator, No Spoilers, Please!, I explain the effort that I’ve made to avoid spoiling Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker for myself, as well how trailers could be better. 🎙

Dec 2019

My generous colleague, Craig, who is also a Mac enthusiast, lent me this awesome copy of the Macintosh Human Interface Guidelines to peruse. It was published in 1992—the year that I was born! 👨🏽‍💻

In the quest for efficiency, what are we really losing? Read Rumination 61: Automation Visualised on Lounge Ruminator for more.

This poster at BIG W perfectly encapsulates two grammatical issues in separate ruminations of mine from this year: hyphenation and capitalisation. Advertisers and marketers need to lift their game.

Dec 2019

Wow… @NTKF and I just went to the cinema to see Knives Out. That was a lot of fun and genuinely unpredictable. 📽

Dec 2019

I feel proud and most amused that I somehow managed to get @NTKF mentioned on Accidental Tech Podcast. Natasha is extremely patient in listening to all of my constant tech chat at home; now she’s actually been dragged into it. 😂🎙👨🏽‍💻
