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!
Secret Headquarters, 2022 - ★½
I watched it with kids. Even they got bored.
Guest Appearance: Throwback Hoops Episode 46
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.
I Hate Entropy
This article was originally written for the March 2022 edition of Hemispheric News, delivered as part of the Hemispheric Views podcast member bonus program, One Prime Plus Things break down and that causes me stress. I know that everything in the world is gradually corroding, eroding and disintegrating but that doesn’t mean I have to like it. The root cause of my problem is that I don’t like fixing things. I have zero interest in hardware, maintenance and DIY projects.
Jurassic World Dominion, 2022 - ★
This was so boring, derivative, and I didn’t appreciate the Indiana Jones rip-off moments.
Semi-Pro, 2008 - ★★★
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 🏀 🎙️
Suburban Darwin needs to lift its coffee game.
That Thing You Do!, 1996 - ★★
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
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.
