I think I’m going to have to buy a Nintendo Switch. Again. (I bought one at launch to play Zelda Breath of the Wild and then sold it).

Quarter of known bee species have not been recorded since 1990.
I wonder if I’ll live to see US President number 50. I was born when Jimmy Carter was president (number 39), so that’s 8 so far. 4 years for Biden takes us to 2025. Three 2 termers after that would be 2049, so I’ll be retired (hopefully) by then. So maybe…? Probably?
I’m extremely happy that American politics is boring again.
Update! I escaped!
I feel like The Count Of Monte Cristo trying to get through this tree stump. One millimetre at a time.
The following foods sound horrible from their ingredients or serving style, but are, in fact, delicious:

Doing a lot of work in the sun, fixing up the house. High of 26°C. I was up on the roof cleaning off lichen and the roof metal was sizzling hot. But I’m a good Kiwi and managed to avoid sunburn. Now I have an ice cold beer and it was all worth it 🍻
You know you’re at a Kiwi barbecue when there’s nine people and only one is wearing shoes.
Any Kiwis out there who haven’t visited one of the more distant North Island cities, New Plymouth is amazing. If my family and friends were here I’d never leave.
Currently at the Festival of Lights in New Plymouth. There’s a concert stage in the middle. It’s packed.
A sci-fi short story you may enjoy - The Road Not Taken by Harry Turtledove. 20 pages and throughly interesting and enjoyable.
Given the recent trash clear outs on major social networks, it’s good to see micro.blog has remained… the same. Because it’s just so damn pleasant here and we have the incredible community management of @macgenie preserving the sanity. Thank you @manton and @macgenie.
We stayed at Ōpunake in Taranaki for a few nights. Here a couple of panoramas of the gorgeous beach there. Only downside is the sand is super fine so it gets everywhere.
The presumed premise of Star Trek: Discovery season 4, rebuilding the Federation, is super hopeful, inspiring and exciting and I can’t wait for the next season! (And the the Section 31 series and for Strange New Worlds, and for Lower Decks season 2. Picard… 🤷🏻♂️)
The season 3 finale of Star Trek: Discovery was 🖖🏼
Due to some precision culling, this is the first year I won’t have 40 hours worth of podcasts to catch up on after my summer holidays.
My OG Apple Watch, which I have worn every day, turns 6 this year. Should I try and push it to 10 years?
Can you believe it’s already… wait… what day of the week is it again?
I’m trying to explain Apple TV to my mum. She got a year free Apple TV+, which she can watch in the Apple TV app, on her Apple TV. It’s extremely confusing.
2020 was a rough year. Things aren’t going to be magically fixed in 38 minutes when it ticks over to 2021. But here’s to 2020 being over. I hope you all have a fantastic 2021. You made it.
Death to 2020 is hilarious, tragic and only 70 minutes long. Give it a watch.
Ain’t no party like a New Years Eve party at home with just the family, cause a New Years Eve party at home with just the family can stop whenever you want and then you can go straight to bed.
Went strawberry picking today. The haul was big and the strawberries were gigantic.
