Micro.blog Photo Challenge: Day 6: ‘Sport’. Basketball has always been a huge part of my life. I’ve moved into a new phase recently, working on an NBL podcast, co-streaming games and participating in post-game press conferences. Life is full of amazing twists and turns. 📷


Micro.blog Photo Challenge: Day 5: ‘Pets’. Fish are as close as we have at the moment. 📷


“Walk with Apple”: It’s difficult to take life advice from 22-year old Shawn Mendes.


Went for a walk around the block. Didn’t buy coffee from the local organics shop because they had an anti-5G poster in the window.


Micro.blog Photo Challenge: Day 4: ‘Layers’ of pants. 📷


Micro.blog Photo Challenge: Day 3: ‘Comfort’. Bur-de-Bur, the teddy I received at my birth. He knows all my deepest secrets. 📷


Micro.blog Photo Challenge: Day 2: ‘Morning Beverage’. I’ve already had two morning beverages, but didn’t see the challenge in time. Hence, empty cup. 📷


Who does Flickr? I use it as a storage location, but I admit I don’t have a community over there. Now I’ve ditched Instagram, I wish it had more people and everyday photos in addition to the ‘high art' that tends to be its focus.


Micro.blog Photo Challenge: Day 1: ‘close up’. Apologies for the visage; no face-tuning here. 📷


🔗 Link Post: “A New Board Game: {macro}Dungeon - //Jason Burk”

Jason Burk writing for Burk.io:

“Players can advance in boring one increment moves or strategically build macro sets that can contain up to 5 moves allowing you to jump ahead of the competition.”

My friend Jason has designed and produced a genuine, actual board game that you can buy. He’s invested a lot of time and effort into this.

International shipping is currently a bit expensive, but if you live in the United States, I encourage you to make a purchase.


Here in Western Australia we’ve had a person out in the community who had the UK strain of COVID-19. So we’re all getting a week of lockdown. School was going back tomorrow! 😭


Good deed for the day: I approached the automated grocery store check-out machine as lady ahead moves on. At least $200 cash had been dispensed and was sitting there. I quickly called her back to get her money: the relief on her face was palpable.


I’ve checked in with OmniFocus. I have been yak shaving for the past three hours. I think I can now do what I originally intended to do.


I created a Linktree account, because, well, I don’t really have a because.


ShortcutDetective by Irradiated Software is a great app for finding out which app is eating a keyboard shortcut in macOS. Stupid Logitech Daemon was taking away an important DEVONthink shortcut - and not even using it for anything. Stupid Logitech.

Thanks to @Burk for providing a method to automate NextDNS updating my non-static IP address. He’s a smart cookie.


The macOS Finder can be controversial! Where do you stand on it? Listen to @HemisphericViews HVmini and see who you (dis)agree with.


I’ve disabled my Raspberry Pi & Pi-Hole combo as I try out NextDNS for a while. Early impressions are that it’s technically good, but documentation needs work!


This morning I took an Uber into the city, and it was a Tesla. Wow! This afternoon I came home on a bus.


Turns out Karabiner Elements isn’t so compatible with an M1 Mac. It caused a weird purple flash at shutdown and an OS error message upon boot. This article explains the problem and solution.
