This episode of the Simpsons is now 30 years old and is still one of the best episodes they have ever produced

Tis the Glorious 25th of May you sons of mothers, now sing!

All the little angels rise up, rise up.
All the little angels rise up high!
How do they rise up, rise up, rise up?
How do they rise up, rise up high?
They rise heads up, heads up, heads up, they rise heads up, heads up high!

This but for me. It's Daniel. Not Dan. But you can't stop Australians from shortening a name
Everyone in work calls me Dave. Drives me insane. My name is David. I always introduce myself as David. My email signature is David. What nearly tipped me over the edge is when they bought me a personalised mug for my birthday, with, yes you guessed it, DAVE written on it.

I am begging YouTube to add a "I'm a gods damn adult and/or Australian and I'm perfectly fine with swearing AND content creators still getting ad money so for the love of god just magic ai bleep swearing for those that don't opt into this" option

Not entirely sure "No ads but more nazis" is quite the sales pitch Musk thinks it is
Quite a pitch to advertisers

Having A Frustration as I've been waiting to present some work that I feel is pretty cool to a group that it is important to present it to. This has dragged out for months & now I'm being told it's "unlikely to happen until next year"

I have missed multiple opportunities to present this at confs

Clocked up 80km on the etrike now. Getting better at handling it, need to tweak the setup and add some custom carriers for the camera tripod and my little fold up stool

Resisting the urge to track my weight at this point and just want to make using the etrike enjoyable

Peak design backpack fits nicely on the rear basket of the etrike, the tripod not so much. May need to add a customer carrier rig for that

I've done about 40km on the etrike so far. Getting more used to it, tackled a hill that was probably too steep to try as a starter. Did get up it with max pedal assist but also nearly blew my heart out my ears doing it so have to work up to that

Some people hit middle age and buy themselves an overly expansive car. I apparently buy a middle priced chonky boi electric trike

Definentely not my best photo but best I could do in the wind conditions yesterdays World Photography Day
Of course I could have made it easier on myself by not choosing macro photography or at least not choosing to do it outdoors but hey its what I like to do

The wind is being less than cooperative but we'll see what we can get regardless
