Work near there, and I’m sure I’ve seen him loitering around a few times.

Why note?

Your blog is weird dude.

@hicky: What aspects of this seagull engender trustworthiness? Trust has to be earned. Speaking of which, I’ll leave your comment stand even though you didn’t leave a valid email address.

Better to be weird than a sheep, I guess.

I suspect that Douglas Adams may have only stumbled on half of the truth – Earth is indeed a giant computer, but mice as the supreme controllers? Puh-leeze. The lack of flying ability clearly rules them out. Seagulls, on the other hand, are able to hang around anywhere; their constant scrambling for loose chips and other general snooping & loitering a clever cover for their supervision of this complicated experiment…

This unexpected snap-shot reveals their true purpose, and now makes you a marked man. I strongly advise you to lie low, before it’s too late!

@andrewdotnich: I can neither confirm nor deny the accuracy of your theory. They are watching.

Script Challenge solved, finally!

08 February 2012 in Language, Personal

On 4 August 2007, I set a challenge. Could people decipher a passage of English text written in an unknown script? Well yesterday, 66 months later, dario finally posted a solution. Congratulations, Sir! As I mentioned in my follow-up comment, it turns out that the text wasn’t the work of Ursula K Le Guin as [...]
Talking major sports’ future on ABC 702 Sydney

07 February 2012 in Conversations, Internet, Media

If you’d asked me last week what I thought I’d be doing this week, the answer would not have included “writing and talking about the future of the major sporting codes as televisions events”. But I wrote this thing in the newspaper… Last week federal court judge Justice Steven Rares ruled that Optus’ TV Now [...]
The 9pm Edict #17A

07 February 2012 in The 9pm Edict

Residents of the depressingly tight-sphinctered Melbourne suburb of Prahran torture their dogs. True. And it’s ugly. Also this week, Australia gets a new masthead for quality journalism, and everyone goes all wet and judgemental. Something something football on the internet. And I finish all the things that I meant to do on New Year’s Eve [...]
Talking “The Global Mail” on Radio 2SER

06 February 2012 in Conversations, Internet, Media

I thought I’d be too busy today to pay much attention to the new quality Australian news outlet The Global Mail. But then around 2pm I got a call from Radio 2SER in Sydney asking for a comment. And so it was that at 2.30pm I was interviewed for the station’s current affairs program The [...]
Weekly Wrap 87: Rain, unseasonable risk and videos

05 February 2012 in Weekly Wrap

My usual weekly summary of what I’ve been doing elsewhere on the internets. This post covers the week from Monday 30 January to Sunday 5 February 2012. It was an odd week. It rained. A lot. And the continual greyness felt like it was threatening to trigger seasonal affective disorder unseasonably. I figured it was [...]
