quite disappointing that somehow my wife completely missed evanescence - bring me to life, so every time I cackle after shouting WAKE ME UP she has no idea why I find it funny

Rose (Rosie) Juliette Yi-Shuen Chen born 4:07pm on 30 January 2026. She's a small one, weighing 2.86kg. Mum and baby are both well and we have lots of family here to support us. Big sister Lucy is very excited, bigger sister Professor Nori unsure.

why are we continuously surprised that AI models (eg those on moltbook) trained on all human writing including our science fiction might then output words that appear to match those science fiction narratives

fulfilling my obligation to uphold the patriarchy, my wife did 95% of a 1500 piece jigsaw puzzle and then I swooped in and helped with the last pieces, and now we share equal credit for the achievement of finishing the puzzle

the discourse around weaponised incompetence is a bit out of hand but I don't really know what to do about it maybe you should take over and do something about it?

based on my exposure to the TV in the hospital waiting room across multiple weeks it seems that TV One is now exclusively episodes of Tipping Point and The Chase

well apparently 11 years ago Charlotte had a dream that she complained to Obama in person about the cost of shipping online shopping goods to New Zealand so I think she might have me beat

just had a dream that they couldn't find any drummers available so I got called to drum for vulfpeck for one show on their live tour, and the people were vulfpeck but for some reason all the songs were too fighters, I had one day to learn the songs and do the show, and no one believed me afterwards

what was the point of bringing all these canaries with us if we just ignore them when they keel over?

For folks here (rather than LinkedIn), my last day at NZ Police is 31 October. Taking a little break and welcoming our second child in February. Let me know if you have any part-time contract work coming up where I might be able to add value!

I cancelled Spotify Premium about two weeks ago, which I'm sure weighed heavily on his mind

Good life experience to be an expert witness in the High Court... for a mock trial about a tool that I made up so there was no way anyone could challenge me for being wrong
