Using an iPad in Centre Stage with a Studio Display is kind of compelling. I’ve just been bouncing between apps, servers, local servers, etc. With Spotlight to jump between it doesn’t feel terrible.
On the Hemispheric Views Discord I diagrammed my cable connections after my recent setup change. I thought it would be fun to post it here, as well.
New Mac Setups
Today I restructured my computing setup. For about 2 years I’ve been running a MacBook Air M1 as a satellite device, keeping my 2019 Intel iMac as my centralised ‘home base’. The iMac had a nice screen, 40GB RAM and apart from at boot, never felt slow. To the iMac were connected a bunch of devices, including a Stream Deck, JBL speakers, an EVO-4 audio interface, and a Time Machine drive.
My Intel iMac annoyed me one too many times. The closet/server M1 mac mini has been promoted to the production environment. Biggest loss? Going from 40GB RAM to 8GB. ☹️
Why do all modern washing machines have such obnoxious beepers?

This was bad. What were the contract terms that got Emma Thompson and Pierce Brosnan on board?
Living, 2022 - ★★★★
A great reflection on what is truly important in life. Supported by great cinematography and the audio treatment of the dialogue is lovely.
Software Before Hardware
This article was originally written for the June 2022 edition of Hemispheric News, delivered as part of the Hemispheric Views podcast member bonus program, One Prime Plus. Another WWDC has come and gone, and Apple have released the M2 and a new MacBook Air to go with it. Apple’s hardware continues to be refined and it’s hard to argue that they are not knocking all their new machines out of the park.
I have the Brother HL-3170CDW laser printer. It prints. I like it. Nilay is right 🖨️
A Relationship Well-lived
“So it goes” — Kurt Vonnegut, Slaughterhouse-Five I met Hannah Beazley in 1999. We married on 19 March 2005. Innumerable highlights (and lowlights), some of which include: Establishment of a business, which together we ran for 5 years, then sold. Multiple overseas trips. Vietnam, Hong Kong, Italy, USA, Croatia, Singapore, Bali. Each of these trips with their own massive collection of memories and experiences. Hannah’s chronic medical challenges, which resulted in near death, as then virtually unknown hypereosinsophilia ravaged her body.
Did some window shopping at the Apple Store yesterday.
Listening to In Rainbows by Radiohead while drinking expensive whisky. What a life. 🎵🌈🥃

I’ve had a music evening. I love these nights. Ranged across Jónsi, R.E.M., Sloan, Dolly Parton, and Toby Martin, to name a few. 🎶
I am enjoying reading The Daily Stoic each morning as a devotional. Today, this resonated.
My nephew Alex Canion doing media on ABC News. His band Voyager are going to be playing Eurovision in a couple of months!
Perth today feels as though it’s the end of summer and perhaps an early end to Bunuru season. It wasn’t warm enough to swim today. It’s 7:25pm and it’s dark outside. Perth moves closer towards Djeran.
