My Series 0 Apple Watch went from “lasts right up until the late evening” on the 30th, to “won’t last beyond lunch” yesterday and today. 4.5 years old, it’s done well… odd it’s fallen off a battety cliff, though.

It’s been twenty long years, but we finally have a year we can shorten to something that sounds reasonable in english. “Back in ‘03” sounds odd, “back in ‘23” sounds reasonable.

Want a new years resolution that doesn’t involve strapping on running shoes? Learn another language. It’s like having a superpower. It doesn’t matter which language it is.

Aotearoa! 2020. Happy new year. And welcome to the twenties.

‪We’re 30 minutes away from 2020 in Aotearoa. Wish us luck!‬

What a perfect day in Wellington today.

Everyone thinks I’m a much bigger Star Wars fan than I am. The real issue is Star Trek merch isn’t so readily available.

Does every major studio have an Oval Office set, or is there an Oval Office Set Incorporated that leases use of the Oval Office set to big studios?

It. Is. The. Twenty. Sixth. Of. December.

🏏 Watching the Boxing Day Test with dad. The perfect boxing day activity.

There’s a particular word starting with “s” and rhyming with “fart” mossing from these low-end budget TVs that makes me very interested in buying one.

Santa is the god of procrastination. Sits around all year while others toil, then gets his job done by pulling an all-nighter.

Kiwi Kirihime. Step 5, sleep for three hours because you have some horrible gastro bug (image omitted).

Kiwi Kirihime. Step 4, cook brunch on the barbecue at the in-laws. Bare feet, t-shirt and shorts.

Kiwi Kirihimete. Step 3, gift unwrapping at the in-laws (a small hail is a the best haul)

Kiwi Christmas step 2: present unwrapping at the parents’

Kiwi Christmas. Step one, wake up at 6:30 long after sunrise.

Watching Die Hard. Hans Gruber is about 30 minutes away from falling off the Nakatomi building, at which point it’ll officially be Christmas.

Christmas time. The time of year I’m busy enough and interacting with real life people that all my podcasts build up and I end up with a 20 hour backlog.

Thinking on my slow Raspberry Pi… I normally leave my iMac on all the time. Maybe I should just turn on a couple of services in the background and get it done on a more capable machine.

I run a Raspberry Pi Zero as a little media server. And it’s fine. Works pretty well and reliably. But holy smokes copying anything from it or to it is painfully slow. Whatever wifi they crammed in there is offensively slow.

Bliss Balls aren’t health food.

I’m going to be unequivocal here. Star Wars IX: The Rise of Skywalker Iwas absolutely fantastic. Just brilliant.

The Watchmen TV series is really, really good.
