I watched it with kids. Even they got bored.

A nice amount of nervous tension in this one.
I remember as a kid sitting in the backseat of our car. I can place exactly which road I was on. I was calculating how old I would be when the year became 2000 (13 years old). Now I’m well into 2022. I’m both impressed with my memory and saddened by my age.
Fun with DALL-E: “A painting of a middle-aged white man creating a podcast about basketball.”

Watching this with my kids for the first time. It's such an awesome movie. But Rooney is not the old man I remember him being! John Hughes was a genius.

This was so boring, derivative, and I didn’t appreciate the Indiana Jones rip-off moments.

It’s fun, but it’s not the best basketball movie.
The Jurassic Park Lego exhibition put on by Brickman is epic.
8 days of basketball, 15 games, 8 podcasts, 2 silly videos, many conversations with basketball people, countless Twitter updates. The NBL Blitz in Darwin has finished, and I had a blast engaging with it as an accredited member of the media. I live a fortunate life. 🏀

I would consider this grammar a bug in iOS 16. Anybody else agree?
Today at the NBL Blitz I’m cross-promoting @hemisphericviews 🏀 🎙️

I’m watching this movie 30 years from when it was made, which is the same amount of time between when it was made and the time it was portraying.

The movie needed a more forceful editor.

My young fella performed at school assembly today. They rocked out to a song about adjectives!

Incredible animation and a non-stop action adventure, with just enough Pixar feels added.
It is wonderful to be attending the Basketball WA Awards with my wife Hannah Beazley MLA.

An incredible story well told.

I made a caraway seed cake. When I was a schoolboy, my Mom would sometimes make one of these during the day. When I got home we would eat it alongside a cup of tea using our fancy tea cups. This cake today has provided me with both deliciousness and nostalgia.

After listening to myself interviewed by Martin Feld on Really Specific Stories I started thinking about the strange mixture of interests I have.
For fun, I thought I’d grab the main categories and represent them in graphical form.
Basketball is predominantly represented by NBL and NBL1 - not NBA.
Podcasting incorporates listening, and producing NBL Pocket Podcast and Hemispheric Views.
Productivity and IT & Tech almost bleed into one another to an extent. Productivity is about finding optimal ways of working, creating time and space through efficiency and clever use of technology where appropriate. This can be applied at a personal level or a corporate level. Application of effective productive measures is how I can often add value with companies I support as part of my day job. The IT & Tech portion has shrunk over the years, as this area has become commoditised and it becomes harder to tinker. Nowadays my focus is mainly on using Apple platforms to build nice workflows to support my own productivity improvements. I will let IT & Tech also capture the small amount of computer gaming I do.
Finally, politics encapsulates mainly Australian Federal politics and Western Australian State politics. I used to work in State politics; my wife is a State Parliamentarian, so I guess this checks out.
I wonder if there are any other people out there with a similar cross-section of interests?

A tender and touching story of parenting and caring.

Started off great. I would have preferred a different ending.

Based on the game Battleship? Seriously? The first third of the movie was good, the rest not so much.
