It’s fun, but it’s not the best basketball movie.
The Jurassic Park Lego exhibition put on by Brickman is epic.
8 days of basketball, 15 games, 8 podcasts, 2 silly videos, many conversations with basketball people, countless Twitter updates. The NBL Blitz in Darwin has finished, and I had a blast engaging with it as an accredited member of the media. I live a fortunate life. 🏀
Making this parody video was hilarious.

I would consider this grammar a bug in iOS 16. Anybody else agree?

While at the NBL Blitz, Nick and I made a parody video of this South East Melbourne Phoenix inside look video. We had fun with it. 📹

Just a metre away from a crocodile. No big deal. 😬🐊
Today at the NBL Blitz I’m cross-promoting @hemisphericviews 🏀 🎙️

I’m watching this movie 30 years from when it was made, which is the same amount of time between when it was made and the time it was portraying.
NBL Blitz Day 1
Friday, September 16, 2022
I am in Darwin this week as the National Basketball League is holding its pre-season Blitz tournament. All 10 teams competing to win the Loggins-Bruton Cup. I am attending all the games as accredited media, representing the NBL Pocket Podcast. These are my brief notes from Day 1. A venue where the first NBL volunteer I meet is a friendly Darwin lawyer by day, basketball fan by night. Plenty of NBL staff scurrying around 90 minutes before tip-off, getting score benches ready.
Our clothes dryer died today. Repair guy isn’t available to the end of the month. Of course, now it’s raining.

Professional Realism - I'm Not Who I Was
Saturday, September 10, 2022
Tonight I have been noodling around on LinkedIn. It’s the curse of working in our current world, that I must maintain a LinkedIn account. The whole site feels incredibly superficial — a ‘social network’ devoid of true humanity, but full of humblebrag posts and small talk comments in something which amounts to little more than a business-suited circle jerk. Yet there I must be. Truth be told, for the last few years I’ve mostly used it as an avenue for promoting Hemispheric Views because if there is a podcast that deserves more listeners, it is that.
This is the first day of my life in which Queen Elizabeth is not with us. As an Australian I’m a firm believer that our country should become a Republic in its own right; but that is not to dismiss the magnificent servant of the Monarchy that Elizabeth II was. Rest in Peace.
Is this the last night that Australia has Elizabeth II as its Monarch? She’s had an amazing run.
Things got a bit crazy for E066 of Hemispheric Views. We struggled to keep to the script, and it was mainly my fault. @HemisphericViews @Burk @martinfeld

Once again I’ve decommissioned the Logitech MX Master 3 mouse and Logi Options+ in favour of the Razer mouse supported by razer-macos drivers and button management by Steermouse.
