Christmas and summer in Aotearoa.

Homer Simpson started in 1989 as a 32 year old Baby Boomer. He is now a 38 year old millennial (or “xennial”, depending on your definition).
Have yourself, a vegan little christmas.
These BeatsX headphones are well on their way to dying. Less than 21 months in. Pretty shocking. Some software/firmware things stops them from connecting after a few days. Only a factory reset fixes. Poor.
Top tip: kowhai trees are great for temporarily sheltering from lower-North Island thunderstorms.
From now on I will work out a fake name and number for when I am returning or exchanging things when they “require” my name and number. So, Guy… Smith, um, 022 3253 686 (022 FAKE NUM).
I outright reject you need my details and absolutely do not trust you to keep them safe.
The Human Era - why the year should be 12018, not 2018. I wholeheartedly approve this idea and intend on buying the calendar for 12019.
Tauhou update 2: it’s away! Dans le beau ciel bleu!
Tauhou update: it’s moved from its back to sitting and is having a look around.
A tauhou just crashed into our window and is in a bad way on the ground. Don’t know whether to intervene.
Excellent news. Of all the things the police do, busting people with pot is the most pointless. This mixed with a shift to drug possession being a health rather than a justice issue, will be better for everyone.
I miss a lot of people on Twitter, but I don’t miss Twitter.
My current home screen. Don’t know how long it’ll be this empty…
No birds at anti-1080 protest died from poison (one protected species had been shot.)
Way to push your cause, by being outright fraudulent.
Apple, Microsoft, Google, etc., should be pumping millions into Wikipedia to keep it going. They all (especially Google) rely on it to provide quick replies to common questions. Wikipedia really shouldn’t have to ask its users for cash.
I’ve switched from using an electric toothbrush to a bamboo manual toothbrush for two reasons:
You can brush your teeth just as well with a regular toothbrush.
“That’s not fair!”
“The world isn’t ‘fair’”
“No, the natural world isn’t fair in the survival of the fittest-sense, but this thing that isn’t fair is an entirely human invented thing. So it’s been either designed to be unfair, or it’s horrifically, poorly designed.”
I love Wellington.
Give a man a fire, and he’ll be warm for the night.
Set a man ablaze, and he’ll be warm for the rest of his life.
I almost pity Trump reading this Twitter thread of people caring for relatives with dementia. Repeating himself, forgetting what he’s doing and walking away, illiteracy; signs of a fading mind. He’s horrific, but he may be being exploited by those who must know his mental state.
Running a scooter or bike share service is now so commonplace, there’s a software platform offering the backend and gadget bits and pieces as a service.
Your food should come wrapped in cardboard or paper. They sell flour and sugar in thick paper bags. Your product isn’t so precious it needs more moisture protection than flour or sugar.
Rain, possibly heavy, becoming fine early afternoon. A few showers at night. Northerlies, but afternoon westerlies.
Lies!
I really tried to be present in the moment last week, from Tuesday onwards. Pretty happy with how I’m crushing down on wasting time on my devices. I tend to use the desktop to do things, which means I have to sit down at the desk and be very deliberate about it.
If Santa flies around the entire world, at night, then every Christmas Eve at some point will be foggy. In summary Rudolf the Red Nose Reindeer is a song about institutional bullying which only stopped when the executive was caught short due to poor planning.
