  • No, Peter, you’re never a wet nerd.

    Come on, people, it’s not a big ask.

  • I’m at my wet nerdiest when it comes to variant Sudoku (once you go variant you won’t go back). I got in to it doing the daily Genuinely Approachable Sudokus (GAS), which for many years where hiding out in a Discord for the most part.

    But now GAS’s primary home is the open-web and I couldn’t be happier.

  • In a throwback to my youth, I’m making curried sausages for dinner tonight. This is either going to be very good or very bad.

  • The 2025 award for making legitimate services, notifications and everything else look as scammy as hell goes to… iwantmyname dot com.

    [BTW: I’m not clicking any links in case they are scams but I think they are legit]

  • The Tony Awards are taking their sweet time putting up the official footage of the Hamilton reunion. They’re going to lose so many viewers to fan-cams.

  • I’ll write the LAPD investigation’s summary now: the officer was unaware the woman standing in front of a camera crew describing the situation was a journalist.

  • I’m just a few hours from heading up to Zurich to catch my flight back to Melbourne. Switzerland is a lovely country but it’s been a busy week so I’m looking forward to getting back home.

  • The nice local who helped out with the photo told me this was a recent addition to the banks of the Rhine. It’s intended to be temporary but he is hoping they keep it.

    Me standing next to a six foot high white sign that says Basel with the Rhine and the old city in the background.
  • I started my morning in Basel with a short walk around the city. There are some subtle signs that Eurovision was in town a couple of weeks ago.

    A warning sign made up of three vertical planks. The sign is painted in red and white horizontal stripes. In a white section HOT GAY SEX is graffiti on the sign.
  • A little proud of myself for making it through to 9pm last night with only a 75 minute nap. I was not expecting that after landing at 7am.
