When I was a kid, buying a box of ‘choks’ for my mum whilst not cheap against my pocket money, was still doable … wondering how kids today do it, I can’t afford these as an adult.
They stole the Sybase logo..

📸 You might have heard that New Zealand was given a rare taste of ‘Aurora Australis’ last night. Just a 4 year old iPhone - this was one that I took. No effects added. Will put some more up later.
Trotting through my threads this morning and stumbled across this. You are being noticed @benwerd
🎈132/366 Very happy with myself. Up at 4:30, sucked back some caffeine made myself and house ready for the day and out - with time to walk down to the 6 o’clock ferry.
Got there in record time and plenty of time .. fully 10 70 minutes ahead of departure.
I had forgotten it was a Saturday. 🥳😂🥱
🚧 Shame
I have deleted what should have been this post since it wasn’t doing what it should. No time to debug now .. will come back and flag when I have fixed or got a workaround.
🎥 Three Thousand Years of Longing, 2022 - ★★★½
Yes, or is it no … not sure. I wanted to love it. But I couldn’t. Except sometimes. You can see that I’m a bit undecided. That’s not going to change.
Oh - and Idris.
‘The Biden Crime Family’ … seriously Rudy?
🎈131/366 I know this has been raised on the past - and the answer is generally way above my pay grade, but thought I would ask again in case there have been any break throughs.
Is there a relatively easy way to add a ‘nested menu’ / drop down item/menu on to the ‘normal’ Micro.Blog menu?
Be a pity if something happened to it? @simonwoods 😂 Thank you

I’m gonna say that even though my ‘pages’ - you know the ‘about’ .. ‘doing’ .. ‘new’ .. ‘using’ .. aren’t ‘done’ - they are clearly done enough to add them to the menu.
🎈130/366 … Cough - no idea how long it has been there @bjhess - but I think that is a first for me. 🙏🏼
Read 🔗 Bob Lefsetz today - with this 🔗URL at the very top of his post. Nice piece. On the click through you see this.
Different chap I know - but I wonder if anyone else has remarked on it.
The Furor and How One Creative Thinker Changed Everything
To catch you up, you might have missed 🔗 📼 this video .. you can see it at the bottom of the page.
When I first saw it, I liked the visual effect - but really - not the message. As I wrote over on 🔗 John’s blog
I saw that vid .. kinda like it .. BUT .. I dunno … destroy everything physical, crush it to nothing ?
Unbeknownst to this bear - a lot of people were of the same opinion. A ‘furor’ indeed.
Anyway, in the comments thread on John’s blog he highlighted 🔗this ’twitter post’ from Reza Sixo Safai. This is the 🔗 tweet
Now on occasions I do pop out from under my rock and have noticed that these days Twitter isn’t a very nice place to go anymore. So - on behalf of you dear reader, I donned my protective suit, sprayed myself from top to bottom, grabbed the video and behold …. With all and every credit to Reza. ’Twitter’ is the only reason I pulled it to be here - because Twitter, so now all can view it - and those with protective clothing can pop over and see for themselves.
My comment cannot be better than this one …
This is unironically one of the cleverest creative feats I have ever seen. To take a widely-publicized, universally panned ad and then turning it into the exact ad that it should have been, communicating the desired message 10000x better.

If you are reading this post on my site, you will see that this link is rendered as an embedded video at the bottom of the post. (THANKYOU @rknightuk]. It will render just fine - unless the video owner wants you to watch it over on YouTube (and to be fair - there are very good reasons for that). If that happens, click on the link above and you will be taken to YouTube. The 'error' is only because the creator wants you to got to YouTube to watch it. That said - on rare occasions, it might actually be broken. If it is - sorry about that - try sending me an email and I will check if I made an error.
Now 🎵 THAT is what I call a lineup.
The 2 ‘permanent’ members of the Haiku Hillbillies plus their occasional phenomenal guest guitarist Tom Conway. Right there I miss Maui. And all the more special to be at Ocean Vodka.
