I’m having a lot of fun with Mastodon tonight. I’ve joined the server hosted by @neatnik. My username is @andrew@social.lol
Okay @maique I’m at the point where I feel I need a cute avatar like all the cool kids. What was the name of the guy who did yours, how much did it cost, and what source material did you have to supply to provide inspiration?
What kind of bizarre inception moment is it when you follow your own micro.blog account via Mastodon? I have done it. 😵💫
The Book Thief, 2013 - ★★½
Saturday, October 29, 2022
Watched on Saturday October 29, 2022.
It’s macOS and iPadOS release day and I’ve updated nothing. That is a first for me!
At @HemisphericViews we finished our One Prime Plus member re-watch of Severance Season 1. It’s been a fun opportunity for @martinfeld, @Burk and I to get to know a group of our listeners better. We are blessed with a wonderful audience. Start listening today!
Planning on Paper?
Thursday, October 20, 2022
Finished reading: The 12 Week Year by Brian P. Moran 📚 After reading this I’ve pulled out a hard copy Best Self journal my wife bought me a while ago and have been giving it a go. I am enjoying the paper lifestyle in support of my typical Fantastical/OmniFocus/Agenda/Logseq combination. I am going to give it a full genuine effort for at least the 13-week cycle the journal allows. I don’t know if it will stick after that but having a change-up in approach to help keep some mindful plasticity is probably no bad thing.
Lactose free coffee is a bit gross. Not sure it’s worth it.
It’s terrible when you order a takeaway coffee and it’s still almost too hot to drink 25 minutes later.
Perth RAC Arena at 7:33pm. Perth Wildcats lost to Melbourne United, 81-84. I was invited to attend and sit court side by a Patreon supporter of my podcast NBL Pocket Podcast. What an opportunity! #adayinthelife
I have two podcasts, both of which I think are pretty great. As always with podcasts, however, achieving discovery by a wider audience is the greatest challenge. I’m all ears for good ways to grow the listenership.
If you’re looking for 5 minutes of fun, have a listen to the Cappuccino Corner chapter in Episode 68 of Hemispheric Views. I promise you will be entertained. 🎙 ☕️
I took one last BeReal photo, and deleted the app.
With my employer making it harder to login from multiple devices, I’ve had to go searching for a web-based cross-platform text sync program. It’s back to the future with… Simplenote!

I watched it with kids. Even they got bored.

Thursday, October 6, 2022
I was welcomed as a guest on the podcast/YouTube show “Throwback Hoops” Episode 46 to talk Australian basketball. We covered women’s world, cup, NBL Round 1, and gave our predictions for the league’s awards. 🏀 🎙 Podcast link
Fall, 2022 - ★★★½

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.”
Ferris Bueller's Day Off, 1986 - ★★★★★

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.
