Most people wouldn't realise that before Thomas Edison invented the light bulb, moths and insects were the dominate species on earth. Edison was the first person to finally control them with light bulbs.

Flying business class on Jetstar today, which is pretty much like walking with socks on instead of barefoot #JQ57

Ok, so I've got an idea, it's like porn but the videos are of people replying to then archiving the last few emails in their inbox until it's empty.

Nothing unites Australians more than a speed camera as we all double-flash our headlights frantically.

"One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors." — Plato

Hello, Saturday, from Australia’s Gold Coast

I wonder if motorcycle riders with loud exhausts find the polite and subtle sound of regular city cars really annoying? Or is it only us?

First real attempt iPad podcast remote recording - recording on an iPad Pro, on an Apogee Mic+, into Ringr, will edit on Ferrite

Fascinating long read on the commercial side of the eyeglass market and the global monopoly behind Aussie brands like OPSM, Laubman & Pank, and Sunglass Hut: The spectacular power of Big Lens

“No one in the world ever gets what they want and that is beautiful”

Why do old guys with crazy/weird hats also wear crazy/weird vests? Are crazy/weird clothing items only available in that combination deal?

Which show is the designated survivor for Designator Survivor?

Delays and cancellations through the roof in Sydney due to strong winds, thank god I jumped on an earlier flight in

Last Thursday my iPhone went into a continous restart loop, and trying to restore on iTuens doesn't fix - it needs an Apple Store - and I'm not going to be at one til Thursday. So my Series 3 Apple Watch with LTE has become my phone. It's not a great phone ...

App idea: It's like an ad blocker, but it's a royal blocker. I know that reporting on the royals is how some media make money, but honestly, please just show me more ads. Maybe as I visit your site hit me with a popup begging me to opt-in, or whitelist you for royal coverage.

It's always exciting when you find out a call centre is using a Cisco PBX. That on-hold music is everything.

The iPad life just got a little sweeter: test recorded a podcast on my iPad Pro today using Ringr to record locally on each end, with an Apogee MiC+ on my end, and then Ringr gives me a ZIP file which Ferrite can unzip in the app, and boom, we're editing!

Hi, my name is Josh and I'm a Kanyewesttweetsholic. I'd been clean for almost a year, but something happened this last week.

My otherwise intelligent and lovely accountant has started regular email news updates about business related laws and news, but the email subjects are in ALL CAPS. So now I’m looking for a new accountant.

Please support my Kickstarter to raise $50,000 so we can holiday underwater.

This podcast edition is a really important conversation for wedding celebrants (and humans) to have, because the words, the conversations, communications, inside a wedding are our responsibility: "Gay weddings" are not a thing, they're just "weddings"

Straw poll: Have you ever hired a photographer or bought a photo, because of a watermark on a photo? I wonder if they're not there for marketing reasons why else we would watermark. Copyrighted work owners deserve the right to decide how their work is used, but watermarks?

At their wedding I officiated over one year ago, it was illegal for Brendon & Brad to marry in Australia, but not today!

Great way to highlight to the public that there is a home-alone Japanese woman inside a house: a shadow boxer on closed curtains #idiocy

Your marriage should be better than your wedding.

For over two years I’ve been enjoying a daily tech news email with an Aussie slant plus a bit of snark called The Sizzle. While the editor is on holidays I’m one of three producing the email and we’re doing work I’m proud of + I think you’d love it.

The Monocle’s Urbanist podcast today features Brisbane’s CityCat ferry network and now I’m thinking, I’d love to catch a CityCat to BNE.

Amazon Australia has started casually leaving stuff around your house.

She likes me for meee, not because I look like Tyson Beckford

Making a big change to our business today, which I'm a little bit scared of, so if you could just reply with a "this won't fail" comment that'd be great, thanks 🤜🏻

The trick is to never, ever let it make you cynical

Inspiring Elon Musk read via Electrek

Most of the design tolerances of the Model 3 are already better than any other car in the world. Soon, they will all be better. This is not enough. We will keep going until the Model 3 build precision is a factor of ten better than any other car in the world. I am not kidding.

Our car needs to be designed and built with such accuracy and precision that, if an owner measures dimensions, panel gaps and flushness, and their measurements don’t match the Model 3 specs, it just means that their measuring tape is wrong.

Some parts suppliers will be unwilling or unable to achieve this level of precision. I understand that this will be considered an unreasonable request by some. That’s ok, there are lots of other car companies with much lower standards. They just can’t work with Tesla.

Ev Williams: Now that the ad-only experiment has decidedly failed, quality information providers will be able to build strong businesses, and consumers will be better served than ever

I spent most of Ready Player One trying to figure out who was voicing i-R0k. Erlich Bachman, of course.

If you ever want to fall down a rabbit hole of wonder, just think about how someone loves you ... and how that doesn’t make sense, but they love you for you. Thank you for loving me, Britt xx
