I’m looking forward to the NBL v NBA games coming up this week. Such a shame my Perth Wildcats will be without their starting centre, Angus Brandt. We needed that unit, who has a build like Aaron Baynes. 🏀

Royal Show!

A Successful Day at the Office

It was great to be able to provide business advice and support to an iconic Perth business - Scott Print, as part of my work as a Business Adviser with the Entrepreneurs' Programme.

An article detailing the work we did together, and their experience as a customer, is also available.

I love operating system update day. Beforehand, I’m all like, “I’ll wait a few days to avoid any zero-day risks”. Then on release morning I rush around in a giddy haze updating all the things.

Beer at Petition, Perth.

Ben Thompson really smashes it out of the park with this analysis at stratechery.com. So well written, and so accurate. It’s always more profitable to be a shareholder than a customer.

My iPhone 8 Plus Product(Red) is still nice and new to me. I have no desire or need to upgrade to an iPhone X variant. My wife, on the other hand, who is still rocking the iPhone 6S might be interested!

I’m addicted to Hearthstone. Are there any players in the micro.blog community?

I have bought a licence for BusyContacts, so I expect it will now be made available on Setapp any moment now…

I played a few levels of Starcraft tonight. Been about 20 years since my last game and I still remembered it perfectly. Took me back to the days of LAN parties.

I have to give credit to @manton and @macgenie - I think micro.blog is the nicest, most value-additive internet community I’ve ever been a part of. They have established a great culture.

I’ve hardly used Lightroom this year, but after trialling the photo apps in Setapp, I think I’m going to stick with it Creative Cloud for another year.

The Washington Post: Why your favorite bench might be there to thwart a terrorist attack

I can’t get a good Dropbox workflow for writing in iA Writer. I keep going back to Byword because of its simple integration with Dropbox. The iA Writer approach of using the Files interface is just too clunky.

Don’t Be an Ugly Parent

I am impressed with Mark Dickel’s take on how parents should behave when engaging with their children’s sport.

“I love watching you play.”

This is what I now say to my kids after every game I watch them play.

I do not critique their play or discuss the game with them. Or talk with them about who played well or how many points they scored. Only “I love watching you play”.

When I was taking my boy to Aussie Hoops - a basketball skills program for little kids starting out - there were already parents “coaching” from the sidelines.

Just let kids have fun.

Allowance for Ynab ➜

This iOS app, Allowance, is the first application I have seen using the new YNAB API. It’s quite a helpful little app, just bringing front and centre a small selection of budget categories.

Mission Impossible: Fallout ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ boxd.it

Mission Impossible: Fallout is a great movie. So much fun.
