Such a fun movie but it feels like a movie from the mid 90s. A lot has changed in 20 years - more than I realised.

How fortunate am I that I could do a podcast with journalistic legend, Boti Nagy. This man has a huge history reporting the National Basketball League, is a published author, and thanks to my friend Joseph Corr is now a co-podcaster with me! I was reading Boti’s articles when I was 12 years old. What an honour to do a show with him.
Currently reading: Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin 📚
I dated a handwritten document as 21/3/14
. Crikey, I’m a decade out of date!
Taking photos of signs @maique style. This one is a relic! Look at those seniors!
The boy and I started playing It Takes Two on Xbox. So much two-player raging. Lots of fun. He pulled out the nail while I was swinging on it! 🎮

Not great but good family fare.
Finished reading: Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami 📚 Probably one of the weirder books I’ve read. Entirely compelling, but I’m not sure I comprehend what I read.
Last night amongst my many vivid dreams, I met Linus Torvalds. I thanked him for his work and the contribution to society that Linux has been. Then I went and rode an elevator that went sideways instead of up and down.
Surely now I own all the Notes apps.
I listened to E70 of @hemisphericviews tonight. So cute to hear my own son from an earlier time. “Be more negative!”
We are aware that enshittification is a big deal in the tech industry. With the latest apparently vindictive moves by Apple against Epic, is the great fruit company now on the fast track to its own enshittification? Hubris is at an all-time high.
Good grief, parenting a kid with autism can be hard. 🪫🧩
I’m trying Alfred instead of Launchbar. I keep getting stuck. Today, I couldn’t get an equivalent of Launchbar’s “Instant Send” up and running. Why am I doing this to myself?
I’m not built for humidity. The last few days in Perth have featured this weather condition, and I’m not coping well. I have finishing mopping my floors, and now I’m the one who is mopping wet. 😰
My Day One journal consists of 2,597 entries. Of those, 418 are Instagram imports, leaving 2,179 “proper” entries. The oldest entry is an Instagram import from 5 November 2011. My first genuine entry was on 4 August 2012. I’ve journaled on 1,808 days since then.
Finished the show One Day and feel sad. It’s an impactful series. 📺
I’m watching the 46th season of Survivor. That is crazy! 📺
