I’m contemplating a career change - or at least a new job. Is there anybody out there that might be interested in having a conversation?
Today I learned that Siri can identify buffalo grass with its machine learning.
Uncle Buck, 1989 - ★★
It’s pretty bad, but it still an iconic 80s movie.
It was wonderful to have a conversation with @heyscottyj today. Another cool friendship in the making.
I’m trialling Raycast (again 🙄) as a possible replacement for Launchbar.
Harry Froling has nothing on Nick Tan!
My App Toolkit 2023
At the beginning of 2023, an update to my 2020 post about my App Toolkit. It is still overflowing with tools, although I think it’s in better shape than at my last review.

Does anybody know what has become of @smokey - no activity for a couple of years on any of his sites.
My favourite tree.
I’m going through a tough time. Day One has been a blessing to capture thoughts, feelings and emotions. The subscription is worth every cent.
Finished reading: A Guide for Grown-ups by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry 📚
Microsoft Authenticator will no longer work on Apple Watch. I use this feature every single day. 😖
Strange World, 2022 - ★★½
A story of climate change wrapped up in some impressive animation and characters that I didn’t warm to.
Die Hard, 1988 - ★★★★½
Now I have a 64-bit computer. Ho Ho Ho.
Home Alone 2: Lost in New York, 1992 - ★★½
1992 really seems a different era, back when you could board a plane because you assumed your parents were on it. Slapstick cruelty is still fun, though.
Books of 2022
I’ve not done so great on book reading this year. The list looks a little thin!
Oiling the Deck
There are some household jobs that I procrastinate over. Oiling the deck is a new one I can add to the list. Our deck was installed a couple of years ago as part of a backyard renovation. I knew at the time this would be a necessary maintenance job that I would despise. I dutifully entered it into OmniFocus as a task for the future. That OmniFocus task has been deferred for about 9 months.
You Always Own Your Blog
My Blog, My Home - Geoff Graham: That’s why I love my website. It’s apolitical. It can’t be bought by a billionaire (maybe). It doesn’t care when I last logged in. It doesn’t push me to gain an audience and could care less if I have a one or not. And the feed is spot-free of algorithms and sponsored content. But it’s always ready for me to say something if I need to.
Swearing in of Hannah Beazley MLA as Parliamentary Secretary
Earlier I posted how happy I was that my wife, Hannah Beazley MLA had been made Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Emergency Services; Innovation and the Digital Economy; Medical Research; Volunteering, within the WA State Government. On 14 December, 2022, Hannah was officially sworn in by the Governor. It was fantastic to share the experience with her, and also with her Dad, former Governor of WA, Hon. Kim Beazley AC.
Stephen Hackett on "Really Specific Stories"
My friend and Hemispheric Views co-host Martin Feld continues to bring incredible guests to his interview show, Really Specific Stories. This week he welcomes Stephen Hackett, founder of Relay.fm. Martin Feld: This time on Really Specific Stories, I’m joined by @ismh, who delves into the history of Relay FM and explains his shift to podcasting and running a business—all the while balancing the needs of advertisers, co-hosts, members and of course, family.
