Updates

Short posts, photos and passing thoughts. Written here first, then shared to Mastodon and Bluesky.

  1. Wondering about the effect of AI slopification’s effect on trust. New restaurant opened with full AI branding, food photos and ads. Couldn’t bring myself to even try this - they’ve lost my trust from the outset to be anything good.

  2. A fitting send off for Uncle Paul. A lot of stories shared and a lot of love on show at Wisos. One his friend’s son commemorated the event in paint on the wall near MacCabe Park.

    Graffiti piece with Paul’s nickname Nuts and a cartoon caricature holding a beer.

  3. Flying to Sydney, then driving down to Wollongong. Here to celebrate my uncles life and reconnect with the family.

    Photo taken from the plan with a view across Sydney and the Harbour Bridge.

  4. Apparently it was ride to work day - didn’t know but still rode to work, and home again.

    Shot from the top of Shepherds Hill reserve, looking back across the city south and the cluster of high rises that marks Adelaide’s city centre.

  5. My uncle passed away on Friday quite suddenly, but for understandable health related reasons. I got through the weekend OK, making peace with his passing as natural and normal. But grief isn’t like that and it’s bitten in hard today.

  9. Posting an update from my phone.

    Painting that captures an abstract landscape. There is a sailboat and an indistinguishable landmark. But the painting seems to capture a perfect light.

  10. Testing a new way of posting here – short updates written on my own site first, then shared out – trying to go #POSSE #IndieWeb
