  • They’ve probably found weapons of mass distraction

  • The scariest thing I’ve realised today is that making a really good static website based on Astro makes me feel the same way as delivering an awesome wedding ceremony.

  • I’m offended seeing items I once used as part of my craft and art now in a museum display

  • C.S. Lewis on what matters most:

    To be happy at home is the end of all human endeavor. The sun looks down on nothing half so good as a household laughing together over a meal, or two friends talking over a pint of beer, or a person alone reading a book that interests them; and all economics, politics, laws, armies, and institutions, are only valuable in so far as they prolong and multiply such scenes.

  • Only show work you like, or you’ll end up being hired to do things you don’t like.

    – Victoria Pater, Designer

  • I’m scared

  • Late last night I stopped at McDonald’s drive-through for a coffee while on the way to a late-night aurora tour. The guy serving me was amazed, the 61-year-old local in the car ahead had never been to McDonald’s.

    I've been thinking about that guy all day. How glorious it must be to have never been to Maccas.

  • Random Aurora Australis sighting on Mount Wellington/kunyani tonight

    Aurora borealis with green purple and pink hues over a starry night sky and a dark silhouette. A tall white tower under a starry sky with green and purple auroras.

  • If I was getting paid $10 million a year to co-host a breakfast radio show with Kyle Sandilands you could watch a really cool slow-mo video of me gathering my thoughts in the space of about 5 seconds if Kyle was a dick to me.

    And for context, I once consented in a job interview, to getting paid something like $80k a year to be called a c*nt by Kyle.

    For $10 mil he could address me purely by that title.

  • It’s cool how really high tech streaming platforms make it seem like the placement of ads is a mistake or an error as they abruptly interrupt a program instead of gracefully crossfading like the olden days.

  • Astronomy is cool

  • Is Carl Lentz the King David of this era? Does some cool stuff, also screws up a lot, repents, publishes a book.

  • I’m “yelling at chickens to be kind to each other at 10pm” old

  • Is red bad?

  • You shouldn’t worry about criticism from someone that you would never ask advice from.

    – Aaron Rodgers

  • Brian Halligan on people:

    The older I get, the more I think outstanding taste in people is the only real alpha.

  • Please sign my petition to have the title of the Greatest Generation reassigned from people born from 1901 to 1927 to people who were in their twenties in 2009 and got to live through the release of The Lonely Island's I'm On A Boat.

  • I love the green tail of the Qantas A220 VH-X4A

    Airplanes with red and white tails parked at an airport under a clear sky.

  • I love how much my kids love museums

    Two children running under a suspended whale sculpture in a modern building lobby.

  • My experience using the iPhone’s emergency satellite service

  • I have moved this blog from micro.blog to Astro hosted on Cloudflare Pages via Github and honestly I’m freaking out to try and post this status via Apple Shortcuts …
