Someone clearly didn’t think ahead.
Chinotto is one of my favourite beverages and whenever I have to explain to people what it is, they give me a very strange look.
It’s official: our budgies, Rogue and Rio, absolutely love Queen. So much chirping!

Being able to control playback and volume on my HomePods from my Apple Watch under `Now Playing’ is brilliant.
Wonderwalls in Port Kembla
Natasha and I had a wonderful time roaming the streets of Port Kembla during the 2019 Wonderwalls Festival. It’s fantas...
Paco and Coco are thoroughly enjoying fresh weeds in their inverted pigloos!
These two make me extraordinarily happy when I return from work each day. They love it when I stick something on through the HomePod stereo pair and begin to chirp. 🎵🐤🐦🎶
Last night, I had the enormous pleasure of watching Australian comedian Anh Do at the Sydney Opera House with my wife, Natasha. Anh’s show, The Happiest Refugee was hilarious and touching, as he told his life story and shared details of his family’s tumultuous boat journey from Vietnam to Australia.
I am in no way nationalistic or patriotic, however sitting in such a beautiful venue and listening to this accomplished individual, I felt grateful to be living in a country such as this.

This is one of the stranger items that I have seen left on a lunch table at work.
I know that people tend to scoff whenever Apple tries to enforce desktop minimalism but I’m a big fan of the new desktop stacks feature. It’s really handy when exporting edited images for the Web. They just sit there neatly!
Could this be the best day ever? Who would have thought that my ATP pin and Mac mini for work would arrive at the same time? (Thank you to my sister Jodie for the pin.)
These dodgy, old light switches almost look like little birds peering out from gaps in a building.
I love the colours that you can get with filters in Obscura.
The addition of categories is really fantastic. I’ve gone through all of my posts since joining last year and categorised them, which makes discovery easier in the archive. I’ll be making it a habit to categorise every post from now on. It’s a real advantage over Twitter.
There’s something a bit sad about making a chair in the shape of something that’s used for health and fitness, so that your rich child can sit down with her/his tablet.
The things that you spot in antique shops… here’s a gigantic map of the United States and southern Canada in German.
Depending on the angle, this is either a lovely, well-maintained and expansive lawn in front of a line of shops or a sad, little ‘parklet’.
Google’s disrespect for design standards in iOS is somewhat frustrating. Here’s a little example: the lack of title case in the app icon’s 3D Touch menu. Every other third-party app on my iPhone abides by this.
This Micro Monday, I encourage you to check out @numericcitizen, who has frequent thoughts on the state of tech.
A welcome visitor!
My wife, Natasha, was quite enthusiastic whilst collecting weeds for our guinea pigs. Fortunately, she had a 7-Eleven cup handy to collect and display the fresh garden produce before feeding it to them.
After a recent post by @burk, I couldn’t help but get a Keytron mechanical keyboard too.
Watching Rage on a Saturday morning is about the most Australian thing that one can do, even if a lot of the content is (and has long been) American. RAAAAAAAAGE!!!
