Facebook Creates Fact-Checking Exemption for Climate Deniers

My left hamstring has been giving me grief for over a month. I’ve been trying to stretch to no avail. Tried a different stretch yesterday and just like that, all the pain is gone. Human bodies are weird.

Ever wondered why cashew nuts are so expensive? It may be because each individual cashew is the seed of a cashew apple. And before they’re shelled and roasted, they look like this.

This is so sad. The rail ride through Taieri Gorge is incredible. Taieri Gorge is as breathtaking a site as the Grand Canyon in my geological opinion.

Taieri Gorge Railway line is mothballed

My enduring question from Star Trek: Picard is WHERE WERE THOSE HORRIFIC ROBOT TENTACLES COMING FROM!?

Bets on Apple branding their own Mac CPUs as Core?

You know, that WWDC keynote was insanely well produced. Why not just do that from now on? No hooting from the crowd, no awkward demos from third parties, just pure information presented insanely well.

The presentation by Apple regarding the switch to ARM said the transition for all their hardware will take a couple of years. And I reckon that’ll be about the time I’d be thinking about upgrading my 2015 5K iMac. Or just retiring it and going iPad and iPhone only…

How long until there’s XCode on the iPad do you reckon?

Gasp! Foundation as a TV series!!

I thought the Star Trek: Voyager episode Tuvix was goong to be hilarious. It was, instead, horrific.

Apple should call their AR glasses eyePods.

It’s Micro Monday in Aotearoa. Here’s a tip for the easiest way to improve your timeline: follow @macgenie.

Sure, I could buy a bunch of USB-C cables. Or, I could buy a bunch of these which cost a few dollars each and use the lightning cables I already have.

Star Trek: Voyager Season 2, Episode 23 The Thaw is a brilliant piece of science fiction. A unique plot point allows an exploration of a base human experience: fear.

Holy crap, why are USB-C cables so expensive?

I’m trying, Netflix. There’s literally 155 hours of it.

New avatar!

I’m super anxious about these new Covid-19 cases in Aotearoa. Cannonball in my stomach anxious. Urgh.

For a brief, fleeting moment, all my things were lightning or micro USB. Now they’re lightning and micro USB and USB-C and of course, all the ports on the wall plugs are USB-A.

Ever put your coffee cup in front of your keyboard and sway your head side-to-side to see the keys and type like an idiot me?

The best name I’ve ever heard for a cat is Chairman Meow.

It’s going to be a fun morning.

Mask wearing culture is going to be the norm in most countries now. So when this is all over and Kiwis go overseas again, we’re going to look really odd not wearing a mask. Speaking of which, I should remove my avatar’s mask.

Watched The Matrix last night. What an absolutely magnificent movie. Still good after 21 years.

Brought back the 90s for me, my days as a teenager up on a taped together tower PC on the internet. Good times.
