I’m proud to be the commentator of the Perth Redbacks NBL1 team who is smashing out these numbers!
In my happy place commentating NBL1 basketball. 🏀
A brick wall.
Rocking a new pair of shoes.
Those who listen to @HemisphericViews will know that I’m a beach guy! Here I am repping the show and a wetsuit!
The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1, 2014 - ★★½
Monday, April 1, 2024
This feels closer to Star Wars than The Hunger Games. The plot to kill Catniss is possibly over convoluted?
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, 2013 - ★
Sunday, March 31, 2024
Just get to the good bit already. Oh, there is no good bit.
Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret., 2023 - ★★★★
Friday, March 29, 2024
More evidence that the 70s were the best. I remember reading this Judy Blume book (and others). Wholesomeness delivered to the sad 20s.
Run Rabbit Run, 2023 - ★★
Friday, March 29, 2024
The audio mix was terrible, but the film at least made me think. But can somebody tell me what the deal was with the face appearing in the memorial?
Sideways, 2004 - ★★★★
Saturday, March 23, 2024
Such a fun movie but it feels like a movie from the mid 90s. A lot has changed in 20 years - more than I realised.
Taking photos of signs @maique style. This one is a relic! Look at those seniors!
The Family Plan, 2023 - ★★
Sunday, March 17, 2024
Not great but good family fare.
Surely now I own all the Notes apps.
The Lost Daughter, 2021 - ★★½
Sunday, February 25, 2024
Children really can be that annoying.
The Sad State of Fibre Internet in Australia
Saturday, February 24, 2024
A couple of days ago I got fibre to the home installed (finally). Australia’s broadband rollout is a decades-long case study in political fuckery. Previously I was on “Fibre to the Node” which used fibre to the end of the street, then copper from that street node to my home. Now I have fibre all the way to my home, which is great, but the plans offered are still depressing.
Proud of my Podcast Productions
Friday, February 23, 2024
Several years ago I became interested in creating podcasts. As an early adopter, I’d listened to them for years. I decided I finally wanted to try the creation side of the equation. I’m proud of what I’ve achieved since that decision. Yesterday, two podcasts of mine were released on the same day. They show two different aspects of my personality and interests. I am incredibly proud of these latest episodes, but also the incredible run of consistent podcast creation I have achieved over the past few years.
Zoolander, 2001 - ★★★★
Friday, February 23, 2024
I watch this film now and struggle to identify the cameos. Not all careers kick on, I suppose.
Bob Marley: One Love, 2024 - ★★★½
Tuesday, February 20, 2024
I was unaware of the Bob Marley story and this clued me in well. Actors of course were more attractive than the actual people.
Windfall, 2022 - ★★★
Sunday, February 18, 2024
A well-acted kooky thriller.
Wonka, 2023 - ★★★
Wednesday, February 7, 2024
I wanted to like it more, but it was trying too hard.
Lean Can Be Applied Anywhere
Wednesday, February 7, 2024
Deploying small, incremental improvements. Prototyping an improved workflow using lean, visual control and 5S principles. Observation will determine what improvements and changes to next make.
I spent the money. This is a much more pleasant reading experience. 📚
Should I spend $16 to buy a Kindle version of the book I’m reading so I don’t have to deal with small print? The pink highlight shows the Kindle viewport. 📚
Vesper, 2022 - ★½
Monday, January 29, 2024
Wow, that was really boring.
The Big Lebowski, 1998 - ★★★½
Sunday, January 28, 2024
This movie makes me want to go bowling.
The Breakfast Club, 1985 - ★★★★½
Sunday, January 28, 2024
I think I’m older than the teacher now. He’s the guy I now relate to.
Once a Nerd…
Tuesday, January 9, 2024
I can draw a fairly straight line from my personality as a young fella to who I am today. I mean, look at this nerd. He’s got a Commodore computer running Workbench 2.04. Dot matrix printer. Stephen Lawhead books on the shelf. A thermometer that read the outside temperature. Basketball trophies. This would be a great submission for one of Hemispheric Views Desk Reviews. But it doesn’t end there. As listeners of my podcast will know, I maintain a depreciation spreadsheet tracking my major asset purchases.
I just did an internet quiz like it’s 1999.
