🎶🎵Over breakfast this morning, I commented to Jax

Another cup of tea?

She replied

“You like coffee - I like tea”

This was in her messages before it had finished brewing.

Stuff I keep in my brain!


Sometimes it isn’t what you read - it is who is writing the words. Seeing @joejenett pop into my stream this morning just put me in a good place, not particularly because of his words just a reminder that he is still here.

It’s not Friday - but a great #FollowFriday candidate.


Readwise Experiment

Fast Company published this article.

I don’t usually read FC, but a friend on LinkedIN cross posted it, so I annotated with Readwise and set a public link here.

If you are a Readwise user, would love to know if you can add your own annotations.

Herschel Walker has relaunched his online presence ready for the run offs.


Day 15: aluminium

I have never quite understood why the U.S. pronounces aluminium without the second ‘i’.

Looks like The Guardian is more up to date with the news than Apple… Then again, ‘news’ is one of their main jobs.


Day 14: leave

You might think I have stopped playing MicroBlog Vember because leave is the day 14 prompt and in New Zealand we are already on day 15, but no prompt 🙁

🎥 The Silencing, 2020 - ★★½

It is what it is - it was what it was - a 'free' movie on Netflix


🎥 Big Fish, 2003 - ★★★★★

Quite simply one of my favorite movies of all time.



I don’t get why people keep saying that Mastodon is hard to set up. Other than choosing a server, isn’t it the same as Twitter?


Funny how nobody was calling him a sociopath before the crash. Wunderkind. Yup. Genius. Visionary… But never a sociopath… And some other pretty derogatory descriptions. But only AFTER the fall do the knives come out.

And no.. this is not about Trump.


🎥 The Batman, 2022 - ★★★½

I'm a sucker for Batman. Not the best and so DARK ... not the storyline, the cinematography. At times just watching a black screen. Probably more a commentary on the TV than the movie, but still... 

I guess if they are trying to get us back to the movie houses... It makes sense?


🎥 Enola Holmes 2, 2022 - ★★★½

Having watched ‘round 1’ … I knew what to expect and I wasn’t disappointed.


🎥 Enola Holmes, 2020 - ★★★½

Fun. What you’d expect.


How to Disable Auto-Brightness in iOS 16 / 15 and iPadOS 16 / 15

I didn’t even know this setting existed!


1 in 20 workers will quit if transparency laws reveal they are paid less than co-workers.

I think they might me underestimating - by a lot.

Not saying that the other 19 will immediately leave - but it would surely motivate them to start looking?


Every single one is a mastodon account. If I spot a higher count will record accordingly.


Day 13: adjust

‘Do Not Adjust Your Set’ was short lived as a UK TV program but definitely punched above it’s weight if you measure impact on a British comedy.
