And somewhere in the darkness
The Gambler he broke even
And in his final word I found
An ace that I could keep

F1 drivers prepare for face-off in virtual races following postponements – all sport is video games now.

The Doctor Who Helped Defeat Smallpox Explains What’s Coming.

🖖🏼 You know who would’ve been way cooler to beam on the ship and say “You owe me a ship, Picard”? Neelix. Fenris Ranger Neelix.

Kurzgesagt - The Coronavirus Explained & What You Should Do.

12” iPad Pro with Magic Keyboard and Pencil (256 GB)

OR

13” 2.4 GHz Macbook Pro (256GB)

Same price. But I’d probably go for the iPad. And probably will, once this whole “everything is exploding” thing settles down.

I tend to panic buy enough food and supplies to last a week, every week. I call it “grocery shopping”.

Don’t Panic

When reading something about a new product, my jaw has dropped perhaps once or twice. Reading about the LiDAR on the new iPad Pro has pushed that to thrice. Holy moly! I wonder what the range is.

If we’re all socially distancing ourselves by 2 meters can I… stop wearing deodorant?

Feeling sick? Don’t be a dick! Self-quarantine is essential to beating Corona Virus and saving lives.

Now is the time for some tech firm to release gesture-based POS machines and supermarket self-checkouts that you don’t need to touch.

A question. My Series 0 Apple Watch is slowly dying. It will need replacing at some point in the next year. So do I:

a.) Buy a Series 5 (or 6 when they’re released) b.) Buy a Series 3 for cheap c.) Stop wearing a watch

We’ll get through this. Wash your hands. Don’t be racist. Watch our for your neighbours. Don’t panic.

2010 and 2020

🏏 Also of note in the Empty SCG: Black Caps seem to be doing foot taps instead of high fives. Setting a good example, fellas.

🏏 Watching New Zealand play Australia in an empty Sydney Cricket Ground. Eerily silent, only the sound of the players and the crack and echo of leather on willow.

🖖🏼 There are far too few Andorians in modern Star Trek.

We just cancelled our trip to the US and Canada. Maybe more of a postponement, but all the same, stacks of cash down the drain. Frustrating.

If you strung all the documentaries about World War 2 end to end, how many times longer would they be than the actual war?

I really wonder what carbon emission impact COVID19 forcing people to telecommute will have. China will be back to business relatively soon, but the US may get hit hard once the virus hits its stride.

I wonder if Covid-19 will be a defining moment for a person’s generation. Pre-covid and post-covid generations.

The only country in the Commonwealth of Nations that celebrates Commonwealth Day seems to be… the UK.

Instead of panic buying toilet paper, just think, what would Macgyver do?
