The boys made some new friends at the park this evening, and did not want to come home!

Okay, so I succumbed and bought an Apple HomePod. So far, I’m loving it. Sound is awesome and Siri has been fine for what I need. Its ability to hear me say “Hey Siri” from anywhere and over whatever it is playing is crazy.

I’ve never received mail from Ukraine πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ before! Happy birthday Setapp!

He had to call his broker. More bad news about AMP led to an arbitrage opportunity.

I didn’t make it to an ANZAC Day dawn service, but I just heard an Air Force fly-by from home. Lest we forget.

Loaded up. David doing the photography.

I finished reading Thinking, Fast and Slow. It’s clearly the benchmark book about behavioural economics and is more interesting than the Keynesian textbooks that formed the basis of my economics degree. The only downside was the final section, which dragged just a bit. πŸ“š

Still thinking about Wild Wild Country. I’d love to know what happened to some of the people who were on the ranch. Did they become Grandparents? Did they go back to living ordinary lives?

Wow, Wild Wild Country is a tour de force of documentary production. I remember Bhagwan and Sheela from TV reports as a kid, but this told the larger story in such a compelling way.

I hate that feeling of knowing there was something you wanted to say to somebody, but can’t for the life of you remember what it was. So it just nags at the back of the mind, teasing you.

Had an awesome day in the city with Mr. 6 year old. We followed our noses all day, which led to a series of great experiences. With no pressure to meet an agenda it seemed we were more open to accept experiences from the world, and the world delivered.

In Apple Store Perth and even the demo MacBook Pro has a dodgy β€˜n’ on its keyboard.

Firefox for iOS seems really fast and I like its tracking protection. But not being able to set is as a default browser is such a pain (iOS issue; not their fault). Does anybody else bother trying to use it full time?

I’m no artist, that’s for sure.

Don’t anticipate the worst; it might just work out better than that.

It was fun to volunteer to hit a free throw in a β€˜triple or nothing’ scenario at basketball fitness training today. Nothing but net; saved everybody some running. πŸ€

3 years ago today I was at the Great Smoky Mountains, Tennessee. I want to go back!
