Listening to the cast recording of the Aussie Jesus Christ Superstar from the 90s for the first time in years and am shocked I still remember more than 3/4 of the words. My son is mortified.

Gotta love a message from your bank at 11pm on a Saturday night saying your credit card may have been used for nefarious purposes… now waiting for the call from the fraud team. So tired.

📺 Now I’ve seen the season finale of Rings of Power, I’m really looking forward to rewatching the whole thing to pick up on all the hints I missed first time around as to who was who and what was what.
Thoroughly enjoyed season 1. Don’t want to wait for season 2.

With the sun shining for the first time in a while, I walked my daughter to and from school the past couple of days.
And now my hip is aching.
I do not like this “getting older” thing at all.

Day in the life: Mt Annan, NSW Australia. Still can’t believe all this space is less than 5 minutes from home.

📺 That last episode of She-Hulk was weird. Was laughing all the way through it, but not sure how I feel about it all.

Thanks to a combo of public holidays, annual leave and illness, I haven’t worked a full week in a while. Which is probably why this week is taking forever to end…

I for one can’t wait to see the upcoming blockbuster from Marvel Studios, “Lad”.

This captures a good chunk of my feelings on the Metaverse:
It’s funny because VR is such a powerful technology, as anyone who has used it even once can attest. But Meta, its biggest proponent, doesn’t seem to know what to do with it beyond “what you already do, but worse.”
-
The thing I can’t understand about the Metaverse is why.
Why would anyone want to subject themselves to this horror? If this is the best idea anyone has for convincing people to strap a big, ugly device to their head, then they are going to lose a lot of money.

Virtually blind
Today my daughter brought home her prizes for school fundraising, which included an exceptionally cheap plastic “VR headset” - just a slightly better version of Google Cardboard. I stuck my phone in and she watched a 360-degree YouTube video of a roller coaster. According to her, it was the best thing ever. I tried to look through it and couldn’t make the image clear. But I don’t know if it’s because the headset is so cheaply made or because my eyesight has deteriorated so much. Continue reading →

I don’t think Google can launch a new successful product anymore. Surely the weight of its failures is more than its successes?

Managed to go out to dinner with the wife (and without the kids) for the first time since March last year. It was wonderful. I’ve missed those quiet meals.

Creativity unlocked?
How am I feeling right now? I’ve written a fair amount today. Nothing revolutionary – nothing that will change the world. But I managed to type out a bunch of words in sentences that made sense. Funnily enough, this feels like progress. Which is good. Because my motivational challenges at work are compounding. I’m hoping that I can offset some workplace lethargy with creative work at home. This blog is part of that, obviously, but I’m playing around with a few other ideas. Continue reading →
