  • I was not expecting this result. Absolutely for sure 100% definitely thought Jedi Survivor would be my most played game. Shocked.

  • Perfect gift for a middle-aged Star Wars geek, really.

  • Played Back to the Future: Back in Time today with my daughter. And just as we were getting a rhythm, Marty disappeared from the photo and we lost.

    Next time.

  • Got concerned when I heard scratching at my back door today. Just this guy saying hello.

  • Got to head out to the women’s Sydney vs Melbourne City A-League match today with Ninja. It was a gorgeous day and a good match of football. Should try and get to more matches.

  • I have to laugh, because I did forget I had to vote that day. That is until about 2pm when our neighbours walked past and announced they were heading to vote. I swore, then quickly went and voted, before walking home with the neighbours and their dog.

    Sadly, I was too late for democracy sausage.

    A notice for an apparent failure to vote in the local council elections. I did vote though.
  • I’m testing a robot vacuum at the moment that just won’t quit. It has been vacuuming my 3 bedroom house since about 10am. It had to stop and go to recharge, then it kept going.

    I just looked in the settings and I think I found the problem: It’s programmed to vacuum until the end of time.

    A screenshot of the settings of a robot vacuum. There are two check boxes: One says " Repeat - Clean your home until the battery runs out" and the second says "Continue cleaning after charging"
  • We’re getting one of our side fences removed today. Our neighbour needs to do some landscaping before the new fence goes in, so my desk is going to have a nice view of their backyard for the next week or so.

  • So here’s something fun: I took the data I collected from my massive SIM mobile plans comparison table and pivoted the info to look at some different angles.

    Factoring in current discounts, this is the average price per day across all plans, by provider.

  • I’ve been struggling a fair bit recently, but managed a nice bushwalk down at Minnamurra on Sunday. It was a perfect day for it, and helped me manage my stress significantly.

    But that was Sunday. Monday has a funny way of undoing Sunday’s good work…

  • I’ve been getting more and more frustrated with AI-generated slop recently, but these images produced by the OPPO Reno12 for my review have just pushed me over the edge.

    Why does this crap exist? Who wants it? I can’t understand why companies are pushing it.

  • Was playing around earlier this week and broke my BTTR email. Trying to get it back online – if you sent me an email in the past 2-3 days, I probably didn’t get it…

  • I’ve spent the past few hours listening to Nintendo Music and I have to say, the urge to go and play Nintendo is strong.

  • An email from Apple outlining a $40 a year price increase to Disney Plus.

    Holy shit Disney. I knew this was coming, but I still wasn’t prepared for a $40 a year price increase.

    Not worth it!

  • Meat feast to celebrate the first-born’s birthday. The meat sweats are real.

  • Had my busiest day in ages today. Highlight was definitely having an intimate meal cooked for me by Rodney Dunn, the founder of Australia’s best restaurant, the Agrarian Kitchen, to showcase a new AEG cooktop.

    It was delicious.

  • Ninja Woodfire event in Bundanoon

    Got to spend a lovely night down at Bundanoon for a Ninja Woodfire event. It was pretty impressive watching a professional chef use the Ninja Woodfire grill. Cooked up some delicious steak and then we enjoyed a super tasty dinner of smoked treats. Definitely have some ideas for things to cook up … read more

  • Had a nice week away in Orange last week. Here are some pics.

  • Went for a walk and a coffee in the Botanic Gardens yesterday. Just after we saw these kangaroos, we came across a guy holding a GoPro camera. He came up to us and asked us (with a European accent of some description) if we had seen any kangaroos, and when we told him we had and pointed out where we had seen them, he excitedly exclaimed, “awesome!”

    I hope he saw them, I’m still thinking about him.

  • Went to the opening of the new Nepean river walk at Camden today. It was a really gorgeous day for it, and a really nice walk.

    Got to watch the gliders come in to land at Camden airport as well.
