Has anyone used BookFunnnel? Any pros or cons? I'm planning to start self-publishing this year so exploring the tools/platforms people use. Any tips?

Some that I'm already investigating are Ingram, Draft2Digital, and Book Sirens. Would appreciate other pointers.

The final 2 minutes of the original #karatekid my kids were camped around the TV cheering and shouting.

@liztai @Mastodon The lack of algorithms is the best thing about Mastodon IMO. Algorithms just create winners and losers, and encourage the most shouty voices.

I'm watching this game play-through and, wow, is it frustrating. Every episode starts with, in this episode we're going to investigate this IMPORTANT THING. Only for the player to get sidetracked a few minutes later and not investigate the IMPORTANT THING.

Next episode, we're going to […]

The good news about the Melbourne sinkhole is that the MCG have already agreed to use it as the pitch for this year's Boxing Day Test Match.

Just saw the report about bushfires in Oz. https://youtu.be/KOvlZRW3QFM

I can believe it. It's like a bunch of lessons have been forgotten by homeowners living in bushfire-prone regions.

I used to live in the Perth hills as a kid. We had a firebreak around the edge of the property. Looking at […]

Last year, the screams of small children being dragged to school persisted until June. One kid really hated school.

While I encountered many dickheads over the course of 2025 (and being one for much of it), the one that wins my 2025 DICKHEAD of the YEAR goes to the fellow on Reddit that issued a minor correction to one of my comments. The issue being that the comment was 13 years old, and was perfectly […]

What's everyone doing for New Year's Eve? We've opted for a quiet one this year, as we already caught up with friends on Christmas Day. We're staying in and watching the fireworks – we usually have a good view from our CBD apartment – and we've asked a few people we know in the building and the […]

My post yesterday about declining technique & poorer concentration in cricket (I suspect because of the proliferation of T20) has had a lot of considered responses across various platforms, which has made a pleasant change to read. This one was particularly good IMO. #ashes
