Last year my (then 6 yr old) daughter had a crazy creative period over a few days where she smashed out a bunch of original fashion designs.
This week we’ve been bringing them to life (somewhat) using AI.
It’s been an awesome experience for her to start getting exposed to these tools.
I cant wait to see what she’ll accomplish in combining her creativity with the power of the tools.
Peppa Pig is a terrible show.
The dad, Daddy Pig, is portrayed as a bumbling idiot who thinks he is hot shit ("I'm a bit of an expert"). A role model for no one.
Bluey, however, is an incredible show.
The dad, Babdit, is portrayed as an imperfect, but highly engaged, fun and supportive dad. A role model for every modern dad.
Long live Bluey (& Bandit)!

New “flavour” let’s see how it stacks up against my earlier favourite aniseed @Soap21
Wise words from geohot:
“To everyone working on ads, surveillance, gambling, secret research, enshittification, cloud lock-in, what are you doing with your life? Why are you selling out the future?
It doesn’t require everyone to stop, just enough people. And it starts with you”
the singularity is nearer
how do I stop participating?
This one is for the complainers and whiners.

Bit of an “end of an era” for me
Have been heavily involved in administering the community-based, not-for-profit daycare my kids have attended for the last 4 years
Kids are now (soon to be) no longer attending, growing up
So it’s time for me to pass the baton
Definitely moments in the 100s of hours when I questioned whether it was worth it, but upon reflection very proud to have been involved and to have made a big impact
A bit more time to continue building up the local Bitcoin scene in Perth and WA soon!!
Parallels was up for renewal today.
~AU$140/year
Used to use it a lot when I was working in different roles but now only used for a single VM.
Took a bit of effort to get up and running but switched to UTM - open source. Bit embarrassed it took so long for the switch.
While I was at it I also got rid of some other software that I know has heaps of telemetry and could be considered somewhat user-hostile:
- Raycast - I’d already switched back to Alfred recently
- Warp - now using Ghostty
Up and running with my first production peer-observer box…

My 2026 in “3 M”s
Meditation - create more time and space and calm the monkey brain down
Math - it’s been almost 20 years since I did much math during undergrad physics and my math brain has completely atrophied
Monitoring - I’m working on the Bitcoin monitoring challenge, looking to support @b10c in his heroic efforts of many years
Subagents preserve the context of the main agent, so you can achieve a lot more with the main agent before you exhaust the context window

Best gift I gave this year, a silent Bitcoin miner (designed in Perth, WA no less!!)
2 of 3 already up and hashing, the other not yet home.
Recipients were super engaged and excited
Merry Christmas 🎅🏿 🎄
In for a seemingly typical Christmas Day in Perth today, 40°C
Squats are the standard
It’s amazing how much better my back feels the day after doing squats
