  • 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.

  • I ate all of this. It was incredible.

  • Tried out a (new?) dumpling bar in Camden for lunch today and they were delicious.

  • Had to walk down the shops, and it looks like we had a fair amount of rain.

  • Had the hot water replaced today. Moved from gas to heat pump. Hoping it will save us some dollarydoos and be better for the environment.

  • After years of trying to work out where we could fit it and whether it was a worthwhile investment, we finally bought a piano.

    It’s a little cramped, but it’s beautiful. Sounds so much better than the keyboard we had previously.

  • I reckon we saw almost 20 kangaroos and wallabies while walking around the Botanic Gardens today. Still such a thrill.

  • Google Search is shit

    I have to admit that the inspiration for this post is anger. Pure unadulterated rage. As many would know, last year I launched my own product review site, bttr.com.au. I’ve been working hard at trying to make it great, I’ve experimented with some things (including AI content), and have … read more

  • What the hell are the people at LinkedIn smoking?

  • I went out to take photos of some review products today in the Botanic Gardens. The local wildlife did not seem enthusiastic.

  • How does a typo like this happen on a product’s box?

  • Making Beef Jerky for the first time in the Ninja Woodfire I’m pretty excited.

    marinated beef in a tray waiting to be slowly dehydrated to become jerky.
  • I am absolutely loving Lego at the moment. While I typically get most excited for the Star Wars stuff, this looks incredible!

    I guess that’s the wife’s birthday present sorted…

  • Finished Boba Fett today. Really love how there are subtle construction differences for similar features across the helmets.
