Back when I was working in Sydney, I often sat in a gigantic foyer in a building on Bligh Street. There were super-comfy chairs and it was interesting to watch all the frantic businesspeople racing past and zipping up and down floors in transparent lift shafts. This photo shows the exposed floors of the building from inside, looking upwards from ground level.
There’s a current fitness poster in my office building that includes an iPod Video in its design. For a moment, I had to check if it was still 2018.
According to his LinkedIn account, Malcolm Turnbull is still the Prime Minister of Australia.
According to the great activist and academic Raj Patel, capitalism began with the plough. Here he is presenting at Antitode in Sydney. Borat Sagdiyev’s obsession with this agricultural device during his ‘cultural learnings of America’ now makes even more sense.
Australian journalist Peter Greste interviewing Chelsea Manning via satellite at the Sydney Opera House as a part of Antidote, after she was refused entry by the Federal Government (eye roll)… this was quite an intense conversation.
Ok another Sydney Opera House shot…
Apple Sydney is even nicer when almost no one is around!
If you can’t afford it, lie down in front of it.
Are there any other microbloggers out there whose family members constantly fall asleep during films and TV programmes?
It doesn’t matter how many times I visit the Sydney Opera House… it still blows me away.
I was going through some old photos, when suddenly I stumbled on this Messages screenshot from 2015: Natasha noticed that I had become what Apple refers to as the ‘Man Pedestrian’. What’s now equally flabbergasting to me is how long that I’ve lived with the Apple Watch. I don’t think that I could function day-to-day now without it.
This Micro Monday, I encourage you to check out @pyrmont: a fellow Australian with some great ideas for the network. :)
I had the opportunity to cover my company’s day of official announcements for its financial year results. It was held at the The Westin Sydney… not a bad building at all! 🌇
This is my beloved Wollongong with Port Kembla in the centre. It’s a place of great beauty, with a narrow coastal strip sandwiched by a low-lying mountain range and the ocean. There also happens to be a gigantic industrial port.
