Things are Fun!

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. Here’s mine. 10 years ago I was already an Apple nerd - but a skinnier one with less grey hair.

Season 4 of Cobra Kai done. It’s so bad, it’s good. 📺

Rodman: For Better or Worse, 2019 - ★★★★

Is the story and life of Dennis Rodman a tragedy or a comedy?

Watching this film gives me the impression that Dennis himself doesn’t know. I tend towards the former.

The Matrix Resurrections, 2021 - ★★★½

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?

The Matrix Revolutions, 2003 - ★★½

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.

The Matrix Reloaded, 2003 - ★★★

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.

The Matrix, 1999 - ★★★★★

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.
