Coco loves his garden weeds!
This big fluffer stood right next to us at the Giddy Goat café staring at us and people-watching. Cute! 🐶
Inspired by @burk, here are my favourites. I’m sure that I’ll think of more categories to add to the list!
Apple and Its Ever-changing, Unchanging Ecosystem on Lounge Ruminator
As much as I enjoy the display of new products, there is much to agree with here about the way that all tech companies use the keynote format these days. Let’s see it change for the better. Opinion - The Last Apple Keynote (Let’s Hope) — The New York Times
The weather was absolutely beautiful at MM Beach in Port Kembla this morning. I always feel grateful to live in the Illawarra. 🌤🌊
I’m getting much better at the 3:00 am wake-up thing for live-streamed Apple events. Each time that I do it, I feel like a little bit less of a zombie at work.
The QuickTake moniker returns! 📱📸
I’m super-pleased that my Feld Notes podcast is now available in Apple’s directory. It’s still a bit of an experiment at the moment—as a peripheral part of my PhD studies—however I’m looking forward to doing more and improving my skills in the space. 🎙
It was worth buying a HomePod stereo pair just for Samskeyti by Sigur Rós.
A Melbourne moment… hearing someone yell on the street, ‘I’ll add you on LinkedIn!’.
I’m in Melbourne for work today and whenever I visit, I feel like it’s a bizarro version of Sydney where the streets make sense and the footpaths have space for more than two people at a time. It’s good fun to observe the hustle and bustle of the place.
I recently stumbled upon this great photo of the suburb where I grew up, which is called Figtree. It was named after the gigantic fig tree that once stood at one of its main junctions. In this photo from 1937, you can see it on the right-hand side of the frame.
Here it is up close! It’s a real shame that it isn’t around today, due to disease and damage.
In my work, I have the pleasure of using ad campaign managers for Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn. They all have horrible user interfaces that are slow, ever-changing and incapable of showing any kind of helpful feedback about what is uploading, progressing or launching. Rubbish.
As Ace Ventura would say…
After much preparation and communicating with supervisors, I finally get to start my part-time PhD. It will take ages but I’m excited that it’s finally happening. See how I feel in a few years! 😜 📝
Budgie feast!
