This week in NBL1 West basketball I am commentating Perth Redbacks v Willetton Tigers (women and men). These games will be broadcast on Kayo Sports Freebies. Watch the stream and enjoy my commentary!

I just became moustachioed!

The Super Mario Bros. Movie, 2023 - β˜…β˜…Β½

Hits all the Mario tropes, and I got a few chuckles along the way. Mainly one for the kids, though.

Air, 2023 - β˜…β˜…Β½

A basketball movie about business - my kind of film! Would have benefited from some tighter editing, but it’s always a pleasure to watch Damon act.

Thank You for Smoking, 2005 - β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…

I was excited to rewatch this movie, until I saw the opening credits where both Elon Musk and Peter Thiel were listed as Executive Producers. Urgh.

On the Hemispheric Views Discord I diagrammed my cable connections after my recent setup change. I thought it would be fun to post it here, as well.

New Mac Setups

Today I restructured my computing setup. For about 2 years I’ve been running a MacBook Air M1 as a satellite device, keeping my 2019 Intel iMac as my centralised ‘home base’. The iMac had a nice screen, 40GB RAM and apart from at boot, never felt slow. To the iMac were connected a bunch of devices, including a Stream Deck, JBL speakers, an EVO-4 audio interface, and a Time Machine drive.

The Love Punch, 2013 - β˜…

This was bad. What were the contract terms that got Emma Thompson and Pierce Brosnan on board?

A Relationship Well-lived

“So it goes” β€” Kurt Vonnegut, Slaughterhouse-Five I met Hannah Beazley in 1999. We married on 19 March 2005. Innumerable highlights (and lowlights), some of which include: Establishment of a business, which together we ran for 5 years, then sold. Multiple overseas trips. Vietnam, Hong Kong, Italy, USA, Croatia, Singapore, Bali. Each of these trips with their own massive collection of memories and experiences. Hannah’s chronic medical challenges, which resulted in near death, as then virtually unknown hypereosinsophilia ravaged her body.

Did some window shopping at the Apple Store yesterday.

I am enjoying reading The Daily Stoic each morning as a devotional. Today, this resonated.

The Edit of Hemispheric Views 078

Here is a screenshot of the edit for Hemispheric Views episode 078. Six audio tracks in play. Lots of edits and adjustments. Ferrite by WoojiJuice makes this possible, combined with a couple of years of editing experience and know-how I have built up. I’m proud that I have the skills to do this. Not something that generally goes on my curriculum vitae, but maybe it should?

This is why I make podcasts. Quote is from Kurt Vonnegut, via Do the Work by @rishabh

My Mom sent me this quote. Much appreciated right now.

Today I learned that Siri can identify buffalo grass with its machine learning.
