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 - ★
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
“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!

Bohemian Rhapsody, 2018 - ★★★★
Watched on Friday March 3, 2023.
My reward for mowing the lawn.
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.
Paddington 2, 2017 - ★★★★
Absolute heart warmer of a movie. I love it.
Stutz, 2022 - ★★★★
Me bring me, I wanted more technical details of application.
The Menu, 2022 - ★★★★
A gastronomical delight, with acting to die for.
Hustle, 2022 - ★★★½
I’m old so I liked cameos by old guys. But this is a movie for the next gen, with a solid development montage.
Today I learned that Siri can identify buffalo grass with its machine learning.
Uncle Buck, 1989 - ★★
It’s pretty bad, but it still an iconic 80s movie.
My favourite tree.
Strange World, 2022 - ★★½
A story of climate change wrapped up in some impressive animation and characters that I didn’t warm to.
Die Hard, 1988 - ★★★★½
Now I have a 64-bit computer. Ho Ho Ho.
Home Alone 2: Lost in New York, 1992 - ★★½
1992 really seems a different era, back when you could board a plane because you assumed your parents were on it. Slapstick cruelty is still fun, though.
Oiling the Deck
There are some household jobs that I procrastinate over. Oiling the deck is a new one I can add to the list. Our deck was installed a couple of years ago as part of a backyard renovation. I knew at the time this would be a necessary maintenance job that I would despise. I dutifully entered it into OmniFocus as a task for the future. That OmniFocus task has been deferred for about 9 months.
Swearing in of Hannah Beazley MLA as Parliamentary Secretary
Earlier I posted how happy I was that my wife, Hannah Beazley MLA had been made Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Emergency Services; Innovation and the Digital Economy; Medical Research; Volunteering, within the WA State Government. On 14 December, 2022, Hannah was officially sworn in by the Governor. It was fantastic to share the experience with her, and also with her Dad, former Governor of WA, Hon. Kim Beazley AC.
Another average day in Perth.
I taught Benji how sports brackets work. Now he is building his own World Cup version. 😍🥰🤩⚽️
Elvis, 2022 - ★★★½
A wonderful telling of the bastardry of Colonel Parker.
On one of Jack Baty’s blogs, I saw a reference to neofetch.
It doesn’t do a lot, but it looks pretty. I’ve run it on my three machines:
iMac
MacBook Air
Mac mini
