How This All Happened by Morgan Housel is an incredible read. A broad run down of the development of the US economy from 1945 to now, and how expectations decoupled from reality. With a pretty terrifying conclusion.

🏏 India forces Australia to follow on after dismissing them for 300, trailing by 322. As a Kiwi, this is a glorious to see. And also terrifying because India are coming to Aotearoa at the end of the month.

Now with the Southern Hemisphere cricket season in full swing, I need to start using the 🏏 tagmoji. Not sure if it’s official or not, but it should be.

Facebook somehow got through my Pi Hole and then sent an email almost proving it could. I need to investigate how, and close the gap that shitty, slimy velociraptor found in the electric fence. I’m very much looking forward to deleting my account in the next few days.

Less than 2 weeks until Star Trek: Discovery season 2 starts!

When you get a new label maker for Christmas.

So far so good. I’d very much like to start the year by closing all three rings every day.

I know I’m a couple of decades behind here, but cold brewed coffee is bloody amazing!

It’s always great seeing these three little icons at full strength. It’s a little bit of zen at the top of the screen.

What is it with movies and TV shows when they inject someone, they do it in the neck!? The freaking neck!? No one injects in the neck.

Is everyone on board the 2019 train yet?

Happy 2019 from New Zealand!

Part of New Zealand is already in 2019. Chatham Island is 45 minutes ahead of the rest of New Zealand.

I’m looking forward to tomorrow, New Years Day, when I am committed by resolution to deleting my Facebook account. It’s going to be so great.

Cartoon Sunday, as detailed in my personal TV channel article, concluded another series last week with me watching the final of the joyous Final Space. This week I start the seventh season of The Venture Bros.. Will the Mighty Monarch triumph!?

Aquatic Man was… great. Really entertaining. DC have really sorted their shit out since the Batman v Superman disaster.

I hope this new Aquatic Man is better than the older Aquatic Man starring Kevin Costner.

About to go and see Aquatic Man.

My headphone research has revealed that cheap $25-50 bluetooth headphones are now pretty good. Not excellent or up to “audiophile” quality, but yeah, fine. And since my workout headphones seem to last 18 months tops, regardless of how much I spend, why spend over $50?

Went blueberry picking today. This is what they look like on the tree. TIL: I can eat blueberries quicker than I can pick them.

So far as I can tell, every pair of earphones that’s currently for sale is rubbish. I’m looking for a pair of sports in-ear phones to replace my BeatsX (which replaced my Jaybird Bluebirds) and nothing seems to be worth the money. Suggestions and recommendations welcome.

My BeatsX have died (the seemingly common red and white flashing lights of death). Really disappointing after less than 2 years, for the price.

Home Alone 2: Lost in New York doesn’t depict New York as a great place. It even features a cameo by suspected criminal Individual 1.

Nothing quite like a christmas day thunderstorm.

What the hell!? Some old guy just broke into my house, drank a beer, left a whole bunch of boxes next to a pot plant, and the garden is now covered in reindeer scat. He looked like this: 🎅🏽 Let me know if you see him!
