The Adventures of Dandan & Ada.
Things have been a bit quiet around here. ICYMI, I broke my foot, and have had a lot of time to think. I’m finally back walking, and have lots of exciting adventures coming soon...
Until then, here’s an AI Hergé inspired illustration via ChatGPT.

Cricket is a fascinating watch. Latham went 0, 0, 0, 118* in his last four innings. Was an excellent century after three ducks!

Come work in New Zealand! 🥝
Hey nice friends in tech who are horrified by Trump et al, I just want to say NZ is such a wonderful, beautiful, lovely country with so many nice people.
New Zealand relaxed its visa requirements for remote workers, as the country looked to spur economic growth by courting “digital nomads,” the skilled professionals who can work from anywhere in the world that has an internet connection.

Anyone broken a foot and have advice? I’m going to be laid up for quite a bit. Will know more in two weeks if it requires surgery and how long recovery will be.
I think the dog has started to work out we’re not going to the beach for some time!

If I switch to using my .com as the handle here, what happens to my .bsky.social name? Can someone else use that?

This year is off to an eventful start. Fractured my foot! Going to have to take it easy for a bit.
Ada is confused why her human isn’t taking her to the beach to retrieve sticks, although she does seem interested in the crutches.
