I'm a geek, techie, drummer, and amateur photographer. My pronouns are he/him. I live on Woiworung land in Naarm (Melbourne, Australia).

I'm not quite an internet old-timer, but I have been on social media since the mid-1990s (dial-up and Usenet!).

I work in the analytics, web, and social media space.

I talk about a lot of random things, but you'll definitely see the photos of my dog :)

is awesome and you should become a Wikipedian.

"Wikipedia omitted a step that was considered indispensable throughout the entire history of encyclopedias – verifying facts – and replaced it with a new step – verifying sources."

"The Irish rap trio have recently faced censure and a court case, but have also had support for their pro-Palestine stance. Ahead of a Glastonbury appearance deemed ‘inappropriate’ by Keir Starmer, they argue the backlash against them is a deliberate distraction"

I just finished The House in the Cerulean Sea. 🩵😭 What a warm and wonderful book, and the queer love story made me so happy. Chosen family is gold.

I took this photo yesterday while I was having my little joyful reading time. The tabs are little paper posties that I use with books, marking dialogue I loved or bits I found particularly funny. Used up a whole tiny pad of posties on this single book.

@hollie bookstodon@a.gup.pe icon bookstodon group Thank you for the recommendation!! I've had this on my list for ages, but your prompt finally got me to buy it. I finished that last week and the sequel today. Both are fantastic! :)
