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

Close-up photo of a bush covered with globular golden flowers, with hard spiky phyllodes (pseudo-leaves).

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.

Weekly Wrap 742: A wallaby end to a wobbly week

A black-and-white infrared photo. Next to a tree stump, a swamp wallaby (Wallabia bicolour) stares straight into the camera.

Productivity eluded me during the week of Monday 12 to Sunday 18 August 2024. I was so, so tired, perhaps because for the four days Saturday to Tuesday I didn’t get my usual afternoon nap. Or it could be all the Usual Things that screw up my sleeps patterns. Still, here we are.
