The magpies outside my door are happily warbling in the morning drizzle.

It makes it easy to forget they are the sworn enemy of the Australian cyclist.

Someone stated that I post too frequently about the Oxford comma.

I found their comment to be impudent, offensive, and untrue.

Can anyone offer me a *rational* explanation for what a record company would geofence sales of a digital product?

I want to give you money. I don't really want to pay (or wait for) international shipping. Why is that so hard?

Hey, if you're in Sydney, I wanted to let you know that Dust & Groove is back for a couple of dates in '26. First up, the wonderfully talented Sally Seltmann. Aka New Buffalo. It's a night of music, stories & performance at the Petersham Bowlo. Wed 4th....It's fun. You should come. X

1/6 Jim Thompson wrote a lot and he often wrote quickly. Because of this, his prose isn’t always perfect—but when he hits a line just right, it’s poetry as bright as blood and as hard as concrete.

I just woke up from a nap and somehow while I was asleep, everyone on the bus has figured out we are not going to the right place

What's the fastest y'all ever DNF'd a book? I recently put one down one paragraph into the foreword when the author suggested I go look at their Pinterest moodboard for the book and then go listen to their Spotify soundtrack for it. In the foreword!!

Just experienced the most uniquely Australian Christmas moment: when the dead and departing tree meets the aggressively spinning ceiling fan...

It's Christmas *everywhere*!

Always remember that listening to music can be the entire activity. Put on headphones. Blast it through speakers. Close your eyes and just listen.

Listening to music is not a background activity. It can be the entire journey, and it's worth the time.

I guess a frozen Corona is one way of finding out your children had a party while you were away... Mostly relieved it hadn't exploded tbh.
