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!

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! 👨🏽‍💻

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.
