I live in Brisbane, Australia, on the onceded lands of the Jagera and Turrbal people.

I am a retired software developer, most recently at Thoughtworks, and sometimes also get paid to sing. I sing mostly choral music and sometimes opera.

I am a regular swimmer, an irregular road cyclist and occasional golfer. I have taken up photography again, with an interest in nature and birds in particular. My photos are at @pharsicle

All puns are intended.

Very interesting talk by Alan Finkel at Woodend Winger Arts Festival on how to respond to issues of AI.

Birds masturbate, and that’s perfectly normal

Some bird keepers have tried to drug their animals to stop them engaging in solo sex.

Replying to
@stilgherrian These days, negative. It all depends on who the person is and what they say. Originally it might have described a person who stimulated useful ideas but, like many expressions, has been twisted to the ends of hucksters and grifters.
