Now retired. I have worked in electronics, computer simulations and IT in general. I have an interested in science and history. My political views have been described as "progressive centrism".

(In my profile pic, I'm the one with blond hair).
I have spent 4 days in hospital having my brainwaves monitored due mild epilepsy. The results were as good as I could have hoped for.

I was there, pretty much, at my request. There were others who had to be there. Their problems made my issues seem rather insignificant.

It seems Google Maps is hedging its bets.

According to Donald Trump's definition, we are all female. At conception, we are all effectively females. For us males, it is not until approximately 40 days after conception that the SRY gene activates and we start producing traits that would be described as male.

It's sad to see Paul Barry retire as the host of Media Watch (on ABC Australia). It's rare to see a program like this that, at times, makes scathing reviews of even its own broadcaster. It's also hard to imagine any commercial media enterprise tolerating a show like this.

We came across this driving along the Oodnadatta Track in September 2019. It has to be one of the oddest things I've ever seen. It's an installation called #PlaneHenge and is in the middle of nowhere (about 50 km west of Marree in South Australia).

It's funny how us Australians like to celebrate the arrival of 11 British ships on 20 January 1788. Oddly we celebrate it on 26 January and call it #AustraliaDay (or #InvasionDay), even though there was no such thing as Australia at the time. I doubt the 732 convicts felt like celebrating much.

To get me started, here is a photo I took from our backyard of a sunset in January this year.
