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?photo

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!

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 - ★★★★

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 - ★★★

I wanted to like it more, but it was trying too hard.Lean Can Be Applied Anywhere

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. 📚

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.

I can’t.The Mop Will Always Be Your Friend
Tuesday, November 21, 2023
A career is an interesting thing. I’ve never been a “career at all costs” kind of person. Probably why I’ve never made millions of dollars or been a CEO. At uni, I worked at a pizza shop and a liquor shop. The mop was my friend. Things always needed to be cleaned. I spent the first part of my “proper” career working to get ahead, to succeed in using my brain and to find new challenges to overcome.I keep getting older. Not even an iPhone 15 camera can change that.
Look what arrived in Perth, Western Australia @rknightuk @prami@social.lol
Four months ago I took an opportunity for a career change. A move from consulting to managing two Centres of not-for-profit WA Police & Community Youth Centres. It’s been an opportunity to learn, grow and improve. What I love most is working for my staff. The people at Rockingham and Fremantle Centres are first-class. As their manager it’s my job to make their work days better. When employees are happy, customers win. Culture is king.
Tim Cook chasing more of that sweet services revenue. A 16% increase! Even though I don’t use Arcade & Fitness they still have me over a barrel.

A fun movie that doesn’t take itself seriously and works as a result.
