I can confirm that getting a Day One journal printed is totally worth it. This first test only gets me until 2015. I am definitely ordering Volume 2.

Itβs so much fun recording NBL Pocket Podcast. ππ
Episode 48 of Hemispheric Views features an interview with the Governor of Western Australia, Kim Beazley. Previously a Federal Minister, Leader of the Opposition, Australian Ambassador to the USA, among other distinguished roles, Kim has now really hit the big time as a guest on the best tech and culture podcast on the Internet, @HemisphericViews! π
My son came home from his first day of Year 1 yesterday complaining that it was βtoo babyishβ.
This reminds me of myself. I came home after day one of Year 1 angry because they hadnβt taught me how to read and write, and instead made us do silly things such as colouring in.
12 hours after I unsubscribe from my discount-rate NYTimes games subscription they announce they’ve bought Wordle. To resubscribe at the normal rate will double my cost. π€¦πΌββοΈ
I’m proud to share that @HemisphericViews podcast is no longer on Spotify because we can’t condone the willing spread of misinformation.
Iβm enjoying playing Chess.com with @mjdescy - a tough opponent! β
Boosted! π
Hemispheric Views Episode 047 appeared like clockwork. One might say, too much like clockwork… as if we were all living in The Matrix?
If you have kids, a great podcast for them is Like You. I’ve been a Patreon supporter since they launched, and Noah Glenn does a wonderful job as host.
I did the βthumbs upβ ride today. π΄π»
This wide ranging discussion between my son, Benjamin and Jason Burk ranges across a diversity of topics. The conversation touches on the Loch Ness Monster, Scooby Doo, questions as to the intelligence of Hemispheric Views co-host Martin Feld, and ends with a great joke.
Is there anything better than an ice-cream truck on a hot summer day?
The Hemispheric Views logo on the Core Intution website. I love it. Proud to be the sponsor of Episode 498.
Spent 4 hours in the pool this evening. Loved it, and kids had a blast. ππ»ββοΈ
I was in one of the old buildings of University of WA today, and came across this beauty of a machine. Dymo Lyfe, @martinfeld
As of this writing, a single transaction on the Bitcoin blockchain eats up the same amount of energy as the average US household in a 77.8-day, or roughly two and a half month, period. Ethereum, though nowhere near as large, still eats up the same amount of energy that a US household does in eight days.Β
I knew crypto was bad for the environment and used a lot of energy, but look at the scale of consumption. Itβs insane. Especially when you add the fact that so much of this is mined in locations where coal is the energy source of the electricity.
Centralised currency is fine - unless youβre a grifter or a criminal.
I had to move furniture today. The temperature was hovering somewhere between 42Β°C and 47Β°C. It was not ideal.
Sometimes as a Dad you’ve got to forget everything else, and just enjoy some quality time with your kid. They’re only young once.
Firstly we went to get a cup of coffee, then travelled a long time looking for a car wash. Car washes are fun!
Then onto Fremantle where we saw some container ships being unloaded. Big ships are fun!
Then, we went to a the harbour entrance to watch some recreational boats enter and exit the harbour (and talk to a seagull). Boats are fun!
Apparently the #10YearChallenge is a thing. Hereβs mine. 10 years ago I was already an Apple nerd - but a skinnier one with less grey hair.
