It was great to be part of this event last night. For some reason, we are not included in the list of speakers on the website, but @dr-akb.bsky.social and I had lots of fun presenting a provocation on robots as companions in later life. The robots were a surprise hit!

My holiday reading has had a very good start with this gem from Imbi Neeme. Quirky characters, an entertaining story, and nostalgia for 1990s house sharing in Melbourne. Lots of fun. Highly recommended. www.penguin.com.au/books/kind-o...
