Feld Notes

As usual, Sydney’s Vivid Festival was seriously crowded but really beautiful.

I got to use CarPlay for the first time today and I thought that this would be a good way to test it. A great episode! 🙂 It was great to hear @siracusa’s happiness. @liss @marco

Now that was an impressive keynote. With all of the changes, particularly the shift to a more powerful iPadOS, new SwiftUI and Project Catalyst, I’m looking forward to a lot more positivity in reporting on Apple. They’ve never been bigger and there are many people to please.

With this, Siri has proven its usefulness and understanding of my needs.

This Micro Monday, check out @renem for his great photos.

These two will sit happily on your shoulder for ages.

Reports of iTunes’s potential shutdown or break-up into separate apps has finally hit the mainstream press and it’s hilarious to watch. I jumped in my car and heard Triple J radio reading emotional (and somewhat negative) user experiences of iTunes to slow piano music.

Obscura 2 for iOS has some really nice filters. Everything always looks quite other-worldly, without being too harsh.

What a lovely way to start a Saturday! I’m sitting with my Baba, watching Rage on her TV and discussing 90s music. ❤️

I’m trying to take my writing more seriously and get it out there a bit more. 😀 You can now view Lounge Ruminator on Apple News and Twitter!

These cute animals certainly enjoyed their breakfast this morning. As usual, the guinea pigs devoured it all very quickly and the budgies knocked most of theirs over.

I’ve now been in my current job for a year. That’s hardly a huge milestone, however I’m grateful to have a job that’s closer to home. Not having to commute almost four hours in total each day has given me so much more time to enjoy with my family.

Eight years ago, I was a strange one. No shame.

The air-conditioning at work is down for the second day in a row, whilst they perform maintenance and check for faults. I have now discovered a new state of matter: something between gas and a liquid. I call it ‘giquid’ and it is clinging to me as I sit here typing.

This will be a highlight of 2019: Bamboleo with André Reyes (of the Gipsy Kings) in Sydney.

The votes are in!

This cockatoo doesn’t care about the election either.

Sleepy ducks couldn’t give a stuff about the election today.

In a recent episode of ATP, John had a bit of a Fergie moment from The Black Eyed Peas.
