Who the hell thought "Glow in the Dark Caramello Koala" was a thing that should exist?

It's a crime against taste, nature and culture. I want the guilty parties caught and shot immediately.

Just enough time to sneak out one last review (written and video) for the week as I test out the Nothing Ear (3) Headphones… with a little help from Jabberwocky.

Fresh review time, as I’ve had the Google Pixel Watch 4 strapped to my wrist for the past couple of weeks. While it’s not a radical reinvention of Google’s approach to smart time pieces, it is rather nice…

Today, I took suffering for the ART rather literally, as I checked out the cheapest projector you can buy on Amazon. Spoiler: It’s very, very cheap. Further spoiler: There’s a reason for that…

Like many fans of #retrogaming i had long considered E Honda's flying sumo headbutt to be deeply unrealistic. And yet...

I will be speaking (and listening)... but under no circumstances dancing. For this I feel we can all be grateful.

Yeah, Cain was visually acceptable as Superman in his time, but wrong on every other score.

Possibly somebody should send him this reminder:

Just finished another 5km run in my efforts to scale Australia’s 5 highest peaks (virtually) to raise money for Canteen… but while the distance is falling away, so too are the donations.

Too easy. You did say "wrong answers", so I will comply.

Time for a Christmas movie. You do Christmas movies your way… and I’ll do them mine.

Atari VCS branded coffee.
NO!
BAD ATARI!
You have no excuse for sullying the tiny quantity of goodwill left in the brand. Go sit in the corner and think about what you've done. No, you may not take Yars with you. It's still in trouble for seeking revenge.

Quick video time, as I ponder on what Telstra buying Boost Mobile will mean for its customers, as well as the wider Australian telco scene.

Testing out a new-to-me (but also technically retro) mini console. Of a sort. I don’t think this will translate into a new career for me, mind. #retrogaming #denshadego

Mickey’s lesser known sibling here, and definitely NOT a copyright violation. Why would you even think that? They look nothing alike.
