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. 👨🏽💻
A behind-the-scenes view of @NTKF’s guinea pig shot for Christmastime
In the mood for more Sydney Harbour shots, so apologies for filling your feeds!
I’ll never get sick of this place.
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. 🎙
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.
Wow… @NTKF and I just went to the cinema to see Knives Out. That was a lot of fun and genuinely unpredictable. 📽
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. 😂🎙👨🏽💻
After hearing that others do it, I thought that it would be interesting to try the mouse+trackpad lifestyle for a bit with my Mac. I love the feeling and clickiness of mice but also enjoy 360-degree swiping and scrolling of trackpads. Let’s see how this nerdy experiment goes…
I decided to repurpose the lower shelf of our entertainment unit; now I’m loving the look of our book nook.
On the latest episode of Lounge Ruminator, titled Interference, I reflect on my own use of online accounts, covering the rubbish networks that I’ve left behind and how I aim for more meaningful online interaction today. 🎙
Anyone have some spare Australian cash lying around?
Congratulations to @NTKF on her first-ever dance concert as a tap dancer at the Arcadian’s Theatre! Awesome show 😍😍😍
During a quick trip to Target with @NTKF yesterday, I couldn’t stop myself from buying this little Star Wars pin for my camera bag. Also, I still need to buy and add more, so this is a nerdy work in progress…
My beloved city of Wollongong!
A cheeky cockatoo came to visit this morning while we fed the guinea pigs and was rewarded for its cuteness with a Pink Lady apple. 🍎❤️
It’s 33 degrees Celsius today but still lovely to spend lunchtime in the shade. There’s a severe fire warning, however at least it’s not as bad as the recent catastrophic rating that we had in New South Wales. It should be an interesting summer… ☀️🔥
On this day five years ago, I camouflaged perfectly with a chair.
This latest episode of my Lounge Ruminator podcast, Immediate Recognition, is the result of a subtle nudge from fellow Micro.blog user @canion, who kindly responded to a post that I made yesterday about a particular movie soundtrack. I thank him for his encouragement! 🎙
Our neighbours upstairs are very loud and seem to have very poor dexterity, as they drop things constantly. Finally, they’re doing something noisy that I can enjoy: watching The Matrix. It was so loud that I stood in our lounge room describing what was happening on their screen.
There’s no end to the list of things that I can nitpick when out the shops! Read the latest grammatical rant in Rumination 60: CAPITALISEm on Lounge Ruminator.
These little friends provide a nice, squeaky ambiance while I read in the lounge room.
There are stereotypes for elderly drivers and then there’s this… Rumination 59: They See Me Rollin’ on Lounge Ruminator.
