I am so fortunate to have just bought a property right near the beach. I’ve always lived a decent drive away from the water, but now I own a home that has the beach at my front door. I want to get the renovations done as soon as possible so that I can move in …
My sister is having her first baby in six months, which means I’m going to be an uncle! I’m so excited. I never want kids of my own, but I’m more than happy to give her children all the love and affection that I have in me. The beauty of it is, I can be …
My friends and I got a bit sick of Goblins and Grottos, so we’re trying a new roleplaying game. This one is called People and Places, and it’s basically a real-life simulator. There’s a similar video game called Alternate Life, but I like this RPG more because you have complete freedom. My character is a …
I thought driving was supposed to be fun. Why else would everyone go through all the cost, effort and bureaucratic rigmarole of getting a license? Sure, people have to get places, but that’s what public transport is for. Driving is for getting around while also having a good time… isn’t it? Please tell me that …
I’m so excited! I’ve been waiting for this day for three years now. January 23, 2020. Some people know it as Thursday. I know it as the day of Window Con. A convention all about windows that happens once every three years. It’s so much fun. 2017 was my first ever Window Con, and I …

If I had a dollar for every time I’ve had to go to the hardware store this month, I’d have exactly one dollar. Now, if I had a dollar for every time I’ve tried to go to the hardware store this month, I’d have… more than that. Significantly more. I’ve been meaning to head down …
I can’t believe they’re getting us to install hyperbaric chambers in our offices. This season of Australia’s Next Top Office has honestly gone off the rails. We haven’t done anything actually relating to offices when you think about it. They got us to build kitchens, bathrooms and laundries (what kind of office has a laundry …
You know those days when your to-do list is completely out of control? Like, you tick one thing off and two more new additions crop up in its place, like some kind of administrative hydra? That’s what I’ve been experiencing all week. I don’t even know where it’s all coming from – it’s as though …
“How do you think the others are doing?” I asked, looking toward the glass bottle that Space Wizard sat within. His bottle was inside the new office’s refrigerator as I was setting up the air conditioner. Melbourne had decided to give us a blistering forty-degree day in the middle of winter and although Space Wizard …
