For the past 2.5 years or so, we’ve been trying to watch every Disney movie since Snow White. It has expanded and changed over time, but today we are watching A Bug’s Life. 🍿

There are a lot of things I like about living in the outer suburbs of Sydney. For example: Just last week I picked up my daughter from school, took a 5-minute detour from our usual commute home through the local Botanic Gardens and ended up watching about a dozen kangaroos hopping across a field. But this post isn’t about the Gardens, (though I’m sure I’ll write about that soon). Instead, it’s about recycling. Continue reading →

The last couple of Muse albums didn’t really do it for me, but I’m digging this one 🎶:

There are now too many choices.

Whether it’s deciding what book I should read next, choosing the next show to binge watch on Netflix (or Disney Plus more likely in our household), or finding a new video game to play, I am frequently overwhelmed with the sheer number of options available.

I feel that the 4 day work week outlined here will be inevitable for some businesses, eventually. Though it won’t happen any time soon for most of us. ia.acs.org.au

Flashback to this stunning sunset at the Three Sisters.

I’m actually shocked at how hard I’m finding it to write. There was a time, a little over a decade ago, that I would regularly pump out thousands of words a day. I’d trawl the internet for the latest tech news, finding my own unique angles. I’d go to events and write about them, then spend time investigating and writing up follow up stories. I found an audience and gave them what they wanted. Continue reading →

Early in the pandemic, I was looking for a new hobby. For the past couple of decades, I’ve enthusiastically enjoyed spending my free time playing video games as my “hobby of choice”. But as I’ve gotten older, I’ve found that whipping out the old DualShock (DualSense now?) to bring be less joy. All of this aligned with me hitting my 40s. I’d never had as much disposable income. My kids were hitting the age where they can look after themselves a little bit. Continue reading →

Home.

One last Fijian sunset. It’s been an amazing week. Nobody wants to leave…

We went back to the fire dancing show tonight. Again, it was spectacular.

Tonight, we dined at Fiji’s best* restaurant as a slightly delayed 10 year wedding anniversary celebration. It was magnificent. The food was divine, the service amazing, the wildlife exquisite (including the reef sharks and sea snakes that came up to say hello) and the company… well, she makes any situation special, but tonight was perfection.

We’ve been super lucky with the weather here in Fiji this week. 🇫🇯

My sunset was probably better than your sunset tonight.

On Fiji time now 🇫🇯

It’s a terrible photo, hastily taken, but goddamn Ben Folds was amazing at the Opera House. How one man and a piano can take you from hysterical laughter to the verge of tears in a few short tracks is something I’ll never understand, but willingly experience again and again.
