I was very fortunate to be visited at work by @NTKF today, who surprised me with the spontaneous delivery of a peppermint Magnum. She was in the area after finishing at work for the day and now I shall expect this all the time.
I agree with what Dan Moren has to say about autocorrect on sixcolors.com; I’d love to be able to add words to the iOS dictionary and remove unwanted ones. ‘Don’t’ often becomes ‘Donny’ for me and I don’t know anyone called Donny.
Wish List: Edit iOS’s autocorrect dictionary
During a trip to the shops, @NTKF and I were excited to test the new Logi Ergonomic Mango.
It has been a few days since I was on Micro.blog—too busy to think about it—which felt strange, now that it’s one of my favourite things to read each day. Every time that I’m here, I’m struck by how genuine people here are. Most other networks are noisy, artificial and boring.
The jacaranda tree at the front of our place is looking absolutely beautiful now that we’re in spring. They’re blossoming throughout the suburbs and it’s lovely to see the big return of colour!
Domestic cacophony
When Belgian and Australian culture collide… (It’s hard to have a Gaytime on your own.)
An awesome day at the Viva la Gong festival with @NTKF, featuring Sera’s delicious corn, soul flamenco and a gorgeous mother-daughter trio, called Putri Ayu Indonesia!
I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again: any good Saturday morning must feature Rage on ABC TV.
I get to use this photographic monster at work today. Woo!
A great show tonight by Alex Lahey at Wollongong UniBar! Naturally her song Don’t Be So Hard on Yourself was one of the highlights. 🎵
I am impressed by For All Mankind and will be sticking with it.
Rumination 57: Subconscious Ferrari on Lounge Ruminator
Check out the second episode of my Lounge Ruminator podcast, It’s Complicated, in which I discuss how Apple Watch complications and watch faces, like other technologies, have come to affect our behaviour and perception of time. 🎙
I could sit to watch these two for hours. 🥰🐤🐦
In the last week, I have seen three different Tesla Model 3 vehicles in Wollongong and I am very jealous. They look so sleek and are really the perfect size. If only they were more affordable…
Football in the library!
Before going out for coffee this morning with @NTKF, I decided to wash our KeepCups. During the drying procedure, she said that I looked like a hipster barista. I’ll take that, even though I have no skills.
It didn’t take me long to think of something to say for mbnov today: in typical fashion, I forgot my car key this morning when leaving the house, so @NTKF had to call me. I can be the forgetful type when I start to daydream (or ruminate).
My hopes are high for the show For All Mankind on Apple TV+ this week. Is anyone else looking forward to trying the service? Any particular shows?
With the announcement of AirPods Pro, I feel like we need to establish some sort of ‘Apple Expenditure Support Group’. I don’t wish to be consumerist and splash cash but the temptation is great.
We took our friends to the park for a grassy lunch.
