Wing Commander

Does Orac from Blake's 7 count? Not a robot exactly, but still awesome.

Kingscliff, New South Wales. Beautiful morning on the beach.

Teo (that's me on the left) and Chill reunited in my home city of Brisbane. Wonderful to see my OotiniCast co-host again after so many years!

I'll not taking personally that this damned cyclone (hurricane) appears to be targeting my host. Going to get a little breezy around here.

Took the Political Compass test again. No real shift; this is roughly where I usually end up: left of centre, and on the mostly on the anti-authoritarian side of the scale.

I don't like the label "progressive", but my general collection of views don't fit into any of the other possibilities.

Authoritarian - absolutely not.
Conservative - in some ways, maybe, but not in any way that counts.
Libertarian - fuck no, I like government.
