Photography I Created
Simulating your life’s finances like a computer game is depressing
Was blessed to actually see colour in the sky this afternoon. Had to ask Google whether colour in the sky was a shepherd’s delight or not.
Yes, I do want to report the problem now. Boots and swimmers is illegal I think.
Apple has rebranded “Apple Pay Cash” to “Apple Cash” and launched new splash pages for the service, along with new pages for Apple Wallet and Apple Pay. Is the money transfer amongst iMessage users launching globally this WWDC?
The “day after a federal election” vibes
I, for one, welcome our new DJ overlord.
Luna was really upset. She thought we were going on a boat when I said that we were going to vote. Teach your kids the difference between floating on water and enacting change.
Name a better collab, I’ll wait

I, for one, welcome our new sunny and shining overlord
David Thorne was doing NFTs well before everyone else
Rest In Peace, still images on Instagram
Ok, I’m a little bit sad because the Internet is changing and I don’t like it.
My favourite thing to create outside of marriage ceremonies, are photos. Video is fine, but there’s something so beautifully finite about a photo.
A photo says everything it wants to say and no more. You don’t need volume up, and you can give it as much attention as you like. You’re not forced to spend a certain amount of time on it. You can spend all day looking at and thinking about a still photo, or half a second.
The medium requires nothing, but everything off you. You can just as easily swipe past it as much as it can change your life.
High quality and colour graded is nice, but I think about the first computer I owned. The entire screen was 640 pixels wide, and 480 pixels high, and each pixel could be one of 256 colours. Nothing fancy, but I saw photos that changed me on that screen.
So Instagram, Facebook, and Meta are pretty much moving away from still photos. Recent changes mean the entire company is deprioritising photos and prioritising Reels. Think about the last time you saw something on a Meta platform that wasn’t a moving picture.
So if we want to stay in touch, it’s gotta be over video. Unless you’re on somewhere cool like Twitter, Glass, or Micro.Blog I guess.
Video killed the photograph star.
When a wedding vendor emails you prices and you don’t reply
Apple Photos’ memories feature can detect when I’m at a Foo Fighters concert but categorises the photos from the hospital at Southport where both our daughters first appear in the library as “Southport over the years”.
When I’m not marrying people, or shitposting on social, I write a weekly email for the southern end of the Gold Coast called The Tugun Pause. In [today’s issue I wonder if a monorail would be better than the light rail everyone takes issue with](Do you think a monorail would be better than light rail? https://www.tugunpause.com/p/its-a-bit-wet-innit?s=w).
Whenever I hear people talk about the Christian/Catholic vote I always wonder why it has nothing to do with Matthew 25.
I reckon if Jesus was a registered Australian voter today he’d probably vote the Greens first based on Matthew 25.
Staff member of the 24/7 convenience store next to nightclubs in Fortitude Valley tells me that the clothes and footwear are how they make bank. The drinks and food are for the daytime crowd.
Playing with motion in Fortitude Valley tonight
Filed under “odd anniversaries” today is the 13th anniversary of the first time I saw a Newton in real life and also the Robina Apple Store opened.
