Lyall is terrific. I discovered him this year; can’t figure out why I’d never heard of him. Seven early thrillers and four Harry Maxim novels, all highly recommended by me.

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, or Alice in Chains.

And to finish on a last negative point, check out this laughable ineptitude at Rugby Australia media. One header says incorrectly that Argentina won; the other says that the Wallabies won in ‘extra time’ (which doesn’t exist in rugby). #ausvarg #wallabies #marketingpigeon

I’m trying to figure out how @theguardian.com managed to place an umlaut over the lower case n and make it appear properly in all the browsers I use. What a marvellous achievement. #spinaltap #Spin̈alTap #typography

I was at the ACT Brumbies vs British & Irish Lions match in Canberra last night. Brums had a good crack. They will fall short in big matches until their kickers can get more distance (restarts, 22 exits, penalties). Lions impressive but not looking great yet. #actbrumbies #lionsrugby #lions2025

And another kookaburra shot. It occurred to me later that ‘Reduce Speed’ and ‘No Stopping’ add up to good advice.

I’m not here to pour cold water on anyone’s daydreams and I’ve been on my own analogue trip for a while. However, if asked, I would caution against a typewriter fetish. You don’t create on a typewriter. You draft in longhand on paper, then edit and rewrite by hand; typing is the last (boring) step.
