I bought Untitled Goose Game for Switch today. I knew it was published by Panic, but didnโ€™t know it was Australian made. Good to have supported the local industry. ๐Ÿ•น

Iโ€™m showing tremendous restraint by avoiding iOS 13.0 and waiting for 13.1. Itโ€™s like Iโ€™m a different person!

Iโ€™m home again after my three-day work sojourn to Canberra which took 9 hours of flight time. Australia is big. โœˆ๏ธ

My Apple Watch Series 1 battery has suddenly become incapable of holding a dayโ€™s worth of charge. Itโ€™s like it knows the Series 5 has been released. โŒš๏ธ

Is The Far Side making a comeback? I was obsessed with these comics as a young teen growing up in the early nineties. Our science teacher would stick a new comic up in his classroom every day. Reading it each morning was the highlight of the day.

Great spring weather for a street walk.

First time at the beach for this season. First sunburn too. ๐Ÿฅต Itโ€™s no fun being a complete whitey. ๐Ÿ„๐Ÿผโ€โ™‚๏ธ ๐Ÿ–

The Australia v Spain ๐Ÿ€ game was epic. Double overtime. Aussies with one day less rest combined with some interesting refereeing did them in. So no gold or silver medal on this journey, but they can still make history by winning a bronze.

How Elon Musk Gambled Tesla to Save SolarCity | Vanity Fair

…many skeptics have come to see Muskโ€™s stuntsโ€”from smoking pot during an interview to calling a diver who helped rescue kids trapped in a Thailand cave a โ€œpedo guyโ€โ€”as more unhinged than iconoclastic.

Agreed.

I forgot there was an Apple event today. Thatโ€™s a new experience for me. Now having caught up, I wouldnโ€™t mind upgrading from my Series 1 Watch. Arcade and TV+ are well-priced. iPhone 11? Meh.

I’m going crazy adding emoji as the first character in my calendar events. Send help!โ€ผ๏ธ

Heading into wildflower season. The canola fields were a vibrant yellow but didnโ€™t get a photo of those.

The boy and I took a weekend road trip to Hyden, Western Australia to see Wave Rock.

Police hunt for gang of six men rob Perth’s two Apple stores

Police are on the hunt for a gang of six men wanted over daring smash and grab robberies on Perth’s two Apple stores.

My hometown hitting the news in not such a great way.

The USA v Turkey ๐Ÿ€ was bonkers. Turkey missed their opportunities and the US can breathe a sign of relief. Previously, the Brazil v Greece game was almost as good. My Boomers won ugly, with thanks to Joe Ingles.

A fun night at EPW wrestling my 8 year old son. Compared with a year ago, he gets into it so much more now! He even started a chant. But he still feels sad for the wrestlers who lose. ๐Ÿฅฐ

What does America have against vacation? - The Washington Post

The United States, on the other hand [โ€ฆ] mandates no paid vacation or paid holidays. Zero days.

This seems crazy to me. Australia mandates 20 days of annual leave plus 10 public holidays. Work life balance is vital.

Living my best life. ๐Ÿ€๐Ÿ“บ๐Ÿ€๐Ÿ“บ๐Ÿ€๐Ÿ“บ

The corrupting of democracy - The Economist

Politics used to behave like a pendulum. When the right made mistakes the left won its turn, before power swung back rightward again. Now it looks more like a helter-skelter. Cynicism drags democracy down.

Will democracy self-correct?

Just one day until the basketball ๐Ÿ€ World Cup commences. I’m excited! Two weeks of my favourite sport. I want the Aussies to do well, but I’ll happily watch any two nations play at any time.
