If you have kids, a great podcast for them is Like You. I’ve been a Patreon supporter since they launched, and Noah Glenn does a wonderful job as host.
I did the “thumbs up” ride today. 🚴🏻
This wide ranging discussion between my son, Benjamin and Jason Burk ranges across a diversity of topics. The conversation touches on the Loch Ness Monster, Scooby Doo, questions as to the intelligence of Hemispheric Views co-host Martin Feld, and ends with a great joke.
Is there anything better than an ice-cream truck on a hot summer day?
The Hemispheric Views logo on the Core Intution website. I love it. Proud to be the sponsor of Episode 498.
Spent 4 hours in the pool this evening. Loved it, and kids had a blast. 🏊🏻♂️
I was in one of the old buildings of University of WA today, and came across this beauty of a machine. Dymo Lyfe, @martinfeld
As of this writing, a single transaction on the Bitcoin blockchain eats up the same amount of energy as the average US household in a 77.8-day, or roughly two and a half month, period. Ethereum, though nowhere near as large, still eats up the same amount of energy that a US household does in eight days.
I knew crypto was bad for the environment and used a lot of energy, but look at the scale of consumption. It’s insane. Especially when you add the fact that so much of this is mined in locations where coal is the energy source of the electricity.
Centralised currency is fine - unless you’re a grifter or a criminal.
I had to move furniture today. The temperature was hovering somewhere between 42°C and 47°C. It was not ideal.
Sometimes as a Dad you’ve got to forget everything else, and just enjoy some quality time with your kid. They’re only young once.
Firstly we went to get a cup of coffee, then travelled a long time looking for a car wash. Car washes are fun!
Then onto Fremantle where we saw some container ships being unloaded. Big ships are fun!
Then, we went to a the harbour entrance to watch some recreational boats enter and exit the harbour (and talk to a seagull). Boats are fun!
Apparently the #10YearChallenge is a thing. Here’s mine. 10 years ago I was already an Apple nerd - but a skinnier one with less grey hair.
Season 4 of Cobra Kai done. It’s so bad, it’s good. 📺

Matter offers Kindle support now. Seems my Instapaper subscription may not be renewed…
It’s an honour to have a media pass for the Australian NBL on behalf of NBL Pocket Podcast. Tonight I joined the press conference to ask some questions of Hawks Head Coach Brian Goorjian 🏀

This wasn’t going well, until I solved it. I have a complaint about this word, however…
I’ve been doing strength workouts again, after giving them away mid-way through last year. I actually really enjoy lifting weights. Way better than cardio! 🏋🏻♀️
I was continuously getting “signal is weak” messages from Find My with regard to AirTags. I reset the Network Settings in iPhone and now it is working perfectly - tracks, points and finds AirTags.
I’ve bought a discounted annual subscription to Bike Citizens. This stuff usually has limited appeal in an isolated city such as Perth. It would be way better in dense Europe, but I figured I’d give it a try anyway. 🚲

I got lucky.
Finished reading: The Highly Sensitive Person by E. Aron 📚 An insight into a personality type that might generally be labelled as shy. I see many links between HSP and Autism. The book’s best work is done early; the final third lost me. The interminable fixation on a review of one’s childhood was overdone.
On another day that saw us over 40°C, this iced tea was a refreshing beverage.
