Goodbye dad.
Thank you for being the role model that shaped me.
You were selflessly dedicated to your family. I know you were proud of all your sons. I will continue to strive to live according to the values you gave me.
I love you. I miss you. Fuck cancer.

Reposting because I realised I posted this at like midnight last night lol. Feedback welcome as I’m still working with my editor to refine our approach here.
We have such *gorgeous* dancing and dancers, really wanna do their work justice.

First draft of the first Dancesport video (of 20!) that will be in my documentary.
What do you all think of Michael and Cici and their Paso Doble? ^_^

I’m just really confused about who Lara Croft is meant to be at this point in time because Sophie Turner would have been pretty close to my #1 casting pick for the role before she was even announced.
The company that had to shut down 400 stores this month thinks incelposting is going to to bring customers back

Streaming services are terrible for artists and this has always been the end game of them.
And now it’s too late to push back because they have an effective monopoly over the infrastructure behind how cultural industries are delivered.
If only people listened to me a decade ago.

Delete Spotify.
Delete Spotify.
In April 2024, Spotify implemented a new scheme: songs with less than 1k streams per year would no longer receive royalties.
The data for 2025 was just released via Luminate, and 88% of songs have been demonetized.
Read it again: 88% of songs on Spotify have been demonetized.

I love the aesthetics of dance studios. They are places where I can give my brain a break and focus on something much more important. Moving to music ^_^

My editor has started playing with the footage and the results are already gorgeous. My little documentary will have 20 music videos from national and international champions, and then all the stories about what makes dancers tick.

I love how BlueSky has like 40.1 million users and I am basically the only Dancesport account on the whole site.
That makes me the king of the dance floor, right? Here’s some more Dancesport championship dancing to celebrate.

Tim Sweeney: "PC Gamer lied about me. What I actually said is exactly what PC Gamer said I said."
I've worked in PR and Communications enough to know this guy would be just the worst, most obnoxious client. He would refuse to listen and then blame them for the media reporting his "blunders".

I hate to engage with these lists but there are just some times you have to let the world know you're mad, for the sake of your conscience.
Putting Parramatta ahead of literally all of Japan has made me mad. I mean, Parramatta has Red Rooster and Japan doesn't, so that's a plus, but still.

I love Cici’s dancing so much. She’s got such a wonderful rhythm through her body and a natural, engaging charisma that makes it impossible to miss her on the floor.
Having her dance for my documentary was such a privilege. Looking forward to sharing her full routines.

I kinda feel bad for the camera guy I roped into working on my documentary project. It’s one thing to ask dancers to go full pelt competition dancing standard. That’s what they do. It’s quite another to tell a camera guy to keep up with them. Poor guy was absolutely dead after the full day shoot.

Major achievement! Broke through 80,000 in Mario Bros, finally. This is right up there with my most played arcade game ever lol.

Going through all the footage I shot for this video project over two days: 159GB. 159GB of dance footage and more than 2 1/2 hours worth of interviews.
I'm like a kid in Legoland. All these toys <3

These two are two of Australia’s up and coming Dancesport superstars. Australian youth champions and it was an enormous privilege to film them today for my project.
They danced their routines 30 times over six hours with barely a break. Superhuman effort.
And just the most lovely people.

That was one extremely long day. And one of my dancers hurt herself really badly. So I felt so sorry for her.
But also all the dancing was incredible and the I now have so much incredible material to work with. Everyone had a ball too. This has been a great project.

Just found out my wife might be losing her job, so I'm desperately searching for work. Contract, full-time, freelance, whatever. Press, PR, consulting, anything. I have 16 years of editorial experience and have been writing about games for 13. Reviews, news, previews, guides, etc. RTs appreciated.
