It’s storming outside. I’m sick and don’t have a voice. Today’s Public Holiday is wasted on me. My boy wanted me to feel better so brought me breakfast in bed. 🥰

Incredible acting supported by great lighting and the 4:3 aspect ratio.
The Redeem Team, 2022 - ★★★½

Turns out I like Carmelo Anthony, even though he carved up Australia when playing for USA.
Post-soccer hangs with The Booj.
Looking forward to commentating #NBL1 West action between Perth Redbacks and East Perth Eagles, streaming on Kayo Freebies tonight. 🏀 🎙️
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, 2023 - ★★★½

I like that I don’t need to be an MCU nerd to enjoy this film. I didn’t like the music in this as much as the first two, but playing from a brown Zune makes up for it. The corridor scene is epic.
Voyager just slayed at Eurovision! 🎶
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 - ★★½
Tuesday, April 11, 2023
Hits all the Mario tropes, and I got a few chuckles along the way. Mainly one for the kids, though.
Tomorrow I am flying to Karratha to commentate the NBL1 basketball game between Geraldton Buccaneers and Perth Redbacks. It will be streamed live at 7pm (+8GMT) if you want to watch. 🏀
Air, 2023 - ★★½

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 - ★★★★
Tuesday, April 4, 2023
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
Sunday, March 26, 2023
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 - ★

This was bad. What were the contract terms that got Emma Thompson and Pierce Brosnan on board?
Living, 2022 - ★★★★

A great reflection on what is truly important in life. Supported by great cinematography and the audio treatment of the dialogue is lovely.
A Relationship Well-lived
Wednesday, March 15, 2023
“So it goes” — 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.
My nephew Alex Canion doing media on ABC News. His band Voyager are going to be playing Eurovision in a couple of months!

My reward for mowing the lawn.
The Edit of Hemispheric Views 078
Friday, February 24, 2023
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.
Paddington 2, 2017 - ★★★★

Absolute heart warmer of a movie. I love it.
