By the end of last week I was just about cooked, I have to be honest with you. I ended up spending Friday playing video games to reset my brain a bit. It worked, though. This week has been much better for me, despite some illness floating around the house. A couple of noteworthy developments over … read more

I just finished playing Skyward Sword and I have to say, it seems very much like a prequel to Breath of the Wild. Some of the game mechanics, sure, but also the story.

Could Tears of the Kingdom bring about the return of Demise? I reckon it might. 🎮

The kids have been at Nanna’s overnight, so we played The Lord of the Rings board game for the first time today.

Loved it. Made quite a few mistakes, and our tactics were all over the place. We got a few spots along Shelob’s Lair before Sauron reclaimed the One Ring…

Might try to play again tonight.

Was feeling pretty run down today, so decided to play video games instead of grinding away at work.

It helped.

So, last week was a bit of a struggle. After having a bit of an existential crisis around the decision to work on BTTR, I took a step back and decided I needed to reprioritise. The catalyst was revenue, unsurprisingly. I was halfway through prepping a page on the best projectors in Australia, when I … read more

Well, they’re setting the gang up for some pretty big storms given the amount of quiet in this episode. 3 episodes left.

My guess is that at the end of the season Omega will be abducted and the Batch will have to try and rescue her… in season 3.

I am loving the Bo Katan Kryze story at the moment. She saw the mythosaur and is having a crisis of faith.

So many connections to Clone Wars and Rebels here. Can’t wait to see where it goes from here.

Today I decided to take a step back and reprioritise my content plan. It meant I don’t have much to show for what I did today, but hopefully it will springboard to faster growth.

I have to tell you, I was struggling at the start of this week. I’ve been pumping out pages for this site for about 2 months now, and while I’m starting to get into the swing of publishing content, I’m also conscious that things aren’t moving very fast. I knew it would take time. I knew it would be … read more

Classic! Introduced it to the kids last night. They loved it, though a scene or two caused some uncomfortable questions…

This was so much fun, even though the girls decided to gang up on me. Had victory snatched from my fingertips at the last moment.

Played #MunchkinDisney on 2023-03-11 with 3 players, winning score: 10

Two very different Star Wars episodes this week, but both were exceptional.

I loved watching Bo Katan be an absolute kick-ass Mandalorian. I’ve long been a fan of Katee Sackhoff, but this episode was exceptional, highlighting just how talented Bo Katan is, particularly when compared with Din.

But watching Bad Batch and seeing the redemption of Crosshair continue was just as good. I can’t wait for next week’s episodes.

I’m definitely running late on publishing the weekly update this week. It’s been a crazy few days, including my daughter getting prepped for high school and a realisation of a major challenge with the site’s setup that I’ll detail in another post. As for last week… well, it was okay. I got thrown … read more

Unbelievably, my baby girl is having her high school taster day today.

Where did the last decade go?

I hate losing. This weekend, my wife and I played the Hogwarts Battle board game, with the Monster Box of Monsters expansion. It had been a while since we last played, but I’ve been tracking our board game plays over the past year so I set us up to work through the second box of the expansion. We … read more

I really enjoyed the return of Mando this week. Grogu was superb, and there are plenty of threads for the show to explore this season.

But Bad Batch this week was even better. Real horror movie vibes in an episode that picked up an old Clone Wars story that seemingly went nowhere. Can’t wait to see where the rest of the season goes from here!

Now that the old barbecue is toast, I’ve had to pull out the Weber Q from retirement and… it cooks like a dream.

I am really going to miss this TV when it gets collected.

I hit a big milestone this past week on BTTR. For the first time, Search Console is telling me that it has indexed more pages than not. Given you can’t get traffic from search to a page that Google hasn’t indexed, this is a pretty big deal. There are still more than 500 pages (mostly index pages) … read more

What a morning. Today I did my civic duty reporting in for Jury Duty. That meant I sat around for hours waiting for the panels to be called so they could select the jury. Just as they sat us in the courtroom to decide the jury, the fire alarm went off. After evacuating to the park, hanging around … read more
