“The fact that the UN is debating map projections for an entire hour is already totally thrilling for cartographers, and then it was our map projection. I mean, what else can you ask for?” https://www.theguardian.com/science/ng-interactive/2026/sep/18/map-cartographers-western-bias-mercator-equal-earth #link
My neighbour has been leaving their dog at home and she's clearly an anxious pup. Barking nonstop. But when I go talk her she'll calm down for a bit. Anyway she was going off again so I went and spoke to her and told her some calming words, then she disappeared behind the fence for a moment and came back with her teddy and fyi my heart melted.

Hey Brisbane friends, what are you up to next Thursday? Why not join us for our May Queer Tech Drinks? Would be great to see you there :) https://luma.com/55jdmm2n
Some dataviz for the sake of it. aus.social pulling the weight of Australian fedi by the looks. Ping me if you wanna beta test.
I just went to create a Minecraft username and I thought it would be funny to call myself GuaranaLlama. But then Microsoft came back and said you can't use rude words in your username. And it took me a very long time to work out what the rude word was
My first animation in Keyshape. Completely unnecessary but makes me very happy 😌
Me: “can we try throttling these?”
Apple's voice input: “can we try threatening bees?” 🐝
I just found a little concealed tray in my rice cooker for catching dribbles, which I hadn't previously discovered in the entire time I've owned it. Hurk. It's quite sticky. Hurrk.
Stellar work. I wonder when the next space-faring baked good record will be set.
If you see something say something. (I don't think this piece of landscaping is quite what it seems)
I simultaneously haven't had a cup noodle for ages!!!! and forgot how disappointing a cup noodle can be.
It's 11pm and I'm sitting here in the dark when suddenly the ring on my milk frother lights up, illuminating the cupboards and kitchen sink. What are you doing lil buddy, you're supposed to be asleep.

This law also puts ebike and scoots onto public roads, where they're speed limited to 25 km/hour. I know this will discourage a lot of people from active transport because it's so dangerous. But once the law is in place it's effectively going to impose a 25 km/h speed limit for all motor traffic travelling with ebikes and scoots as well.

A little something I've been working on.
🏳️🌈 Brisbane Queer Tech meetup for April: come hang out with me and make some IRL friends at the Ship Inn. I figure most peeps on fedi are a little bit tech, so no issues there. Are you in? RSVP at https://luma.com/bs5smgmw?utm_source=fedi and pass it on :)
I've become resistant to the restorative powers of music lately, might need to try it intravenously. Or like, has anyone here had the mp3 over mRNA mod?

I vaguely registered it's going to be wet for the next week, but I didn't notice the forecast was identical. I'm enjoying the rain though. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-04-25/australia-weather-forecasts-suddenly-identical-each-day/106603146

Given the perverse outcomes and amount of criticism of the plan, I suppose one can draw their own conclusions.

Ah yeah, I didn't realise you weren't. Don't mind me then. I guess your admin has to fix it up.

It has to convert it into a MP4 so that might be the issue somewhere
