In case anyone was interested, it costs $1600 to fly Qantas then Jetstar from Hobart to the Gold Coast today if Virgin wasn’t able to rebook you on other flights today and yours was getting in to Sydney too late and you’d miss your connection. Just a lazy $1600 and there goes this week’s profit margin.
My high school internet username results in a Googlewhack today. I've never been so proud.
Britt Shoo sketched me at work at a wedding in Maleny today, how cool is it!
All the guests recieved portraits like this.
Jenny Saville:
When I paint, I don’t search for beauty, but for the power of life’s force: when you fall in love with someone, it's life’s force. When you see amazing food or you listen to music that goes right inside your body, that’s life’s force. That moment is not an intellectual space, it's something beyond – you can't articulate it. It’s about the moments that help you breathe deeper.
A short love letter to QuickTime. RIP QuickTime Pro.
My favourite thing about taking a car to the dealer for a warranty issue and they make you feel like you're a woman in the fifties reporting sexual abuse. Looking at you like you're imagining the problem, suggesting "maybe it's your fault?"
tap, tap is this thing on?
I’m grateful for the opportunity to share my wedding celebrant story, my passions, my heart, and to also talk videographers and audio from an audio tech point of view on the Wed Co podcast today.
Qantas’s ears were burning
Wild how we use the same bowl for popcorn and vomit
I would personally donate money to keep the Raygun fire burning
Along with a social media age limit I'd like to see the app icons and splash screens changed to shocking images of people depressed, public servants dancing, or phone notification screenshots overflowing with replies featuring the opinions of strangers.
Look, I might not be your favourite person, but at least I've never tried to sell you a MLM, or a course that promises you that you can make lots of money without any effort.

I'm a Remarkable tablet user and was excited to see what they launched today but I'm out of the live stream already. Colour e-ink and a bigger screen aren't on my list of desired changes.
Better, much better, Remarkably better, software is needed.
Anyway, how cute is it watching every tech founder today wanna be Steve Jobs.
Took an early morning photo walk around the host city for the 2032 Olympics, Brisbane, and the new Star (casino name TBC probably if the regulators do their job) casino.
Brisbane's looking nice tonight
I’ve got a genuine interest inst in the new Pixel phones. Genuinely curiosity if they’d feel nice in hand, how the UI feels, how it works. Maybe they’re a real competitor to the iPhone.
But sampling the product is nigh impossible. They’re on display in shops but covered in security accessories that stop you from folding the folding phone or holding it in hand, plus this one in particular set the alarm off if it was picked up.
I wonder what the cost of loss of sales is compared to stock loss due to theft? Also, it sucks that we live in a world now where theft is so common.
