Everything is a loop and we are all sheeple. Rebooted in a way that reminded me of Star Wars VII, but probably better? So why do I feel empty at the end, and feel the fan service were the best bits?

Why didn’t they call this “The Matrix Battlebots”? I might have watched it sooner. A limp ending to the trilogy that should have stopped at the first movie.

Don’t ask questions, just go along for the ride. The albino dreadlock dudes were criminally under-utilised.
Matter offers Kindle support now. Seems my Instapaper subscription may not be renewed…
It’s an honour to have a media pass for the Australian NBL on behalf of NBL Pocket Podcast. Tonight I joined the press conference to ask some questions of Hawks Head Coach Brian Goorjian 🏀

This wasn’t going well, until I solved it. I have a complaint about this word, however…
I’ve been doing strength workouts again, after giving them away mid-way through last year. I actually really enjoy lifting weights. Way better than cardio! 🏋🏻♀️
I was continuously getting “signal is weak” messages from Find My with regard to AirTags. I reset the Network Settings in iPhone and now it is working perfectly - tracks, points and finds AirTags.

It’s kinda perfect. Except for maybe the Oracle who is just a bit annoying.
I’ve bought a discounted annual subscription to Bike Citizens. This stuff usually has limited appeal in an isolated city such as Perth. It would be way better in dense Europe, but I figured I’d give it a try anyway. 🚲

I got lucky.
Finished reading: The Highly Sensitive Person by E. Aron 📚 An insight into a personality type that might generally be labelled as shy. I see many links between HSP and Autism. The book’s best work is done early; the final third lost me. The interminable fixation on a review of one’s childhood was overdone.
On another day that saw us over 40°C, this iced tea was a refreshing beverage.

I don’t consider myself to be a ‘blogger’. Yet if I think about it, I’ve had some kind of blog actively running for large portions of my life. Just off the top of my head, I’ve had Blogger, Movable Type, Wordpress, Blot and Micro.blog. On the private side of the equation I’ve also got years worth of entries stored away in Day One. Unfortunately some of those posts are lost to the annals of time - which I am sad about.

Search Engines and SEO Spam - Initial Charge: What I think I want is a search engine that only gave me results from small, independent weblogs. More often than not I just want to find information from a normal person that’s writing about something because they care deeply about it. And that’s very difficult to find in search engines today. I want the same thing that Mike Rockwell at Initial Charge wants: a search engine focused on nerds who blog about stuff they love.

It’s that time of year when many are making lists and undertaking audits of their subscription services. I had an old list in Dynalist that was almost complete. I’ve updated it and moved it into Craft, where I will attempt to maintain it over time.
