Outage
Our internet decided to shit the bed today, around 1:30 pm. It’s been very annoying. There is a technician coming round tomorrow, but for now, we’re going to just muddle on through.

Up and Away
It has been almost 5 months, but today, we finally, FINALLY, unpacked our last packing box. It was, unsurprisingly, our art. Now, art is probably too strong a word. Most of it is really just framed photos of our wedding, family, and holidays, but there are a few pieces that deserve to see the light…

Preseason
In a couple of weeks, the NFL kicks off. I don’t mind watching the last quarter on a Sunday, huddled up while the snow falls. Honestly, I quite like it. But at ~$300 a ticket, I can’t see myself going to a game anytime soon. The exception is preseason, where tickets are 90% off. Graham,…

Traffic
This evening, the whole family went off to absolute whoop whoop to get some snaps. It was almost a three hour expedition. Leaving at 5:30 on a Friday night was probably not the smartest idea. What should have taken us 20 minutes took us closer to 50, and man, it was terrible. I have been…

Date night

Gone
Skype was one of the first technology companies I used which felt like magic. Calling people with clear audio and video, for just a few cents a minute, wherever they may be in the world. This was at a time where people were still going wild over 10 cent texts. It’s now gone. And not…

Reunion
On Saturday, I attended my 15 year school reunion. I’m glad I went. There are quite a few people I have kept in touch with since finishing up at Corio, but quite a lot of the people I hadn’t seen since year 12. Fortunately, most people looked exactly like they did last time I saw…

The end of the beginning
One of my favourite quotes comes from Winston Churchill. “This is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is perhaps the end of the beginning”. That is how I feel right now. The whole tech world is poised for what could be a MOMENTOUS day tomorrow, when OpenAI…
