Watching Simon try to find an idol last night was like watching a cat trying to use a pen. #survivorau

Wearing the shark socks a local cafe was kind enough to give me for Fathers’ Day yesterday. This is despite me being about as fatherly as your average four year-old.

Ugh. Has Morrison vowed to fix all the people wearing purple at PM&C today too? Prat.

I’m pleased to see the Footscray park redevelopment on hold. It’s not an unused public space needing to be revitalised, it’s usually crowded on weekends with BBQs and cultural events https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-08-27/maribyrnong-council-weighs-melbourne-victory-footscray-park-plan/11454642

Exploring the HTTP Archive data on Big Query. It’s interesting but demo queries with `/* warning: this costs several hundred dollars to run. */` sure add a little unwanted excitement to the mix.

It kinda makes me proud to see this blown up and displayed at the new job’s offices. If memory serves, The Age was among a vast majority of news outlets to call it out at the time.
