Word-whore. I write 'em. I talk 'em. Information, politics, media, and the cybers. I drink. I use bad words. All publication is a political act. All communication is propaganda. All art is pornography. All business is personal. All hail Eris! Vive les poissons rouges sauvages!

Weekly Wrap 746: A change is as good as a holiday, but different

Looking down some long escalators all bright and shiny and new under the artificial light, and overhead a curved white roof with long black slots for sound absorption running parallel to the escalators.

My week of Monday 9 to Sunday 15 September 2024 was spent in Sydney, and I’m the better for it. There’s increasing evidence that moving back to a city — which is my medium-term plan — will do me good. I ended up being reasonably productive, though not on things I can show you just yet.

Weekly Wrap 745: A break in podcast work, but whatalottawattle! (Not sorry.)

My week of Monday 2 to Sunday 8 September 2024 was not a productive one. Indeed, I did quite a bit of sleeping — but I feel the better for it.

Weekly Wrap 744: It’s old fashioned, and I like it

A simple lowball glass containing a tan-brown liquid and ice cubes, a twist of orange, and a maraschino cherry. And in the background, through a window and out of focus, a quiet suburban street in the last, late afternoon.

OK, yes, this post is late. It covers the week of Monday 26 August to Sunday 1 September 2024, but it’s already late at night on 3 September. It may help that this Weekly Wrap includes two podcasts and a new crowdfunder, and not just the weekend’s social activities? Yes. Definitely.

Weekly Wrap 743: Wattles indicate the change of seasons, but I sleep through much of it

Bright yellow flowers which look a bit like fluffy yellow sticks branching out from a common stem. On one of them sits a bee, its pouches full.

During the week of Monday 19 to Sunday 25 August 2024 the flowering wattles makes the change of seasons. I caught up on sleep, but not on podcast production. But I think things are under control.
