I have anxiety about the US election, and itโ€™s not even my country. Iโ€™m fearful that Trump will win. Iโ€™m fearful that he will lose and all hell will break loose with the crazy gun totinโ€™ Trump supporters.

Itโ€™s extremely hard to concentrate on things with two kids in the house. #mbnov

Today is a rainy, dreary day. Perhaps the last rain before the full brunt of summer arrives. #mbnov

I’ve spent a little time updating my homepage on the web

The water was beautifully warm.

Can anybody recommend a reasonable monitor to be connected to a MacBook Air for business use? i.e. gaming performance not required.

Of course my kidโ€™s ancient hand-me-down iPad Air dies 2 months before Christmas and his birthday. The family hand-me-down process is complicated by the A14X iPad Pro not yet existing.

Hey look! Itโ€™s summertime Drew!

Just another day in sunburn paradise. The Booj about to go on a ๐Ÿช ride.

Vote Biden. The world doesnโ€™t need 4 more years of this bollocks.

TheBrain v12 beta is looking quite amazing. This might be the answer to all my recent explorations for a capture/note-taking application.

Again, again, again!

Oh no. I have the hiccups.

Family Getaway - Four Elements Farm Stay

We spent a few days at Four Elements Farm Stay in the South-West of Western Australia. I relaxed into it quite quickly.

The owner of the Farmstay, Pete, offered daily activities for the kids in the morning and the evening. While the ride in the ATV would have been enough, catching marron in the dam was even better.

These photos donโ€™t do justice to the size of this bonfire. It was pumping out some serious heat. Necessary farm activities can be fun, as well.

The funniest moment was when we went catching tadpoles (and some baby marron). In the slippery mud, little Benjamin had a suction event. He landed on his butt. Bad news for Dad, who had to carry him a long way home on his shoulders. Showers needed!

The last day was an opportunity for cart racing. For those who have listened to Episode 3 of Hemispheric Views, this was very โ€œA Race for Bill!โ€

The micro.blog community is the best! Both @jack and @twelvety have provided me with with thoughtful, genuine feedback about Roam.

Kids and their phones these days. What happened to a good old fashioned conversation?

Iโ€™m being drawn towards Roam. Iโ€™ve emailed @twelvety for his thoughts, and I imagine @jack must have some too. Itโ€™s expensive, but Iโ€™m also searching for a really great daily note system and knowledge database combined.
