Dandan & Ada.

The Adventures of Dandan & Ada.

Things have been a bit quiet around here. ICYMI, I broke my foot, and have had a lot of time to think. I’m finally back walking, and have lots of exciting adventures coming soon...

Until then, here’s an AI Hergé inspired illustration via ChatGPT.

Latest Footnote (3)

– Starting to walk again. Yay.
– No moon boot around the house.
– Finally able to wear both shoes.
– One week of physio done.
– Foot is sore from the movement.
– Taking it one step at a time.

Latest Footnote (2)

– Foot is starting to feel better.
– Getting used to moon boot life.
– Can put weight on foot without pain.
– Needing the crutches less.
– A few more weeks then physio.
– Ada is pleased I can follow her around.

Cricket is a fascinating watch. Latham went 0, 0, 0, 118* in his last four innings. Was an excellent century after three ducks!

Yeah, it can be very tricky! Steve from Profile Photos did a great job. He’s doing another couple of shoots in March if you are interested.

Ada got some portrait photos taken by a friend. Absolutely love them. If you’re in Wellington and want your pooch papped let me know.

Latest Footnote (1)

– Foot is still broken.
– Cast removed and now in a moon boot.
– No surgery needed. Phew.
– Getting used to crutches.
– Starting to put weight on the foot.
– Ada is pleased I can still use right foot.

My yearly watch of the game that makes soccer look exciting.

Ha. Why a terminal?

I’ve been on my mono obsession for some time so I get the appeal, just wondering if there’s a different direction coming.

A few folks I know are, but the digital nomad idea is more so you can work from here for any company, not just opportunities here.

If you’re looking for something more permanent at an NZ company I can point you towards some places. Drop me an email. 🥝

Thanks Tom. Sorry about your friend. I’m not personally impacted by this government with work, but know too many that are unfortunately. It’s been a rough time for them. :(

Come work in New Zealand! 🥝

It’s lovely, but I’m biased, and very lucky to call NZ home. Interesting to see the international news of this vs some of the sentiment here. Record redundancies in government and one of the worst performing economies… we’re going to need more than a few digital nomads to turn things around. Ha!

Bit obsessed with mono fonts… ran out of characters to list more.

Mono (@danserif) / Cosmos A home for curating your universe

I’ve collected some examples of mono in use here (www.cosmos.so/danserif/mono) and my personal favorites are:

Berkeley Mono
Pitch Sans
Söhne Mono
Commit Mono
Departure Mono
MD IO & MD System Mono
Aeonik Mono/Fono
Haffer Mono

And some more experimental designs:

Gridular
Cygnito Mono

Thanks! Appreciate that.

Yeah, going to need to give it time and be patient. ACC are lining up some rehab so will have that once the cast is gone.

Ha! Great advice. Thanks mate.

Anyone broken a foot and have advice? I’m going to be laid up for quite a bit. Will know more in two weeks if it requires surgery and how long recovery will be.

I think the dog has started to work out we’re not going to the beach for some time!
