  • Does anyone here have any experience with [glass.photo](http://glass.photo), particularly compared to Flickr, and to a lesser degree Instagram? I’m looking for an active photography community, Flickr’s has seemingly died, Instagram’s is ok but I’m anti-Meta, please help? 📸

  • ⚽️ Another solid result for Arsenal in the Champions League, keep ’em coming lads!

  • ⚽️ Love waking up to an Arsenal win!

  • Just because I like to do all the complex things at once. Not only am I in the process of moving my blog to micro.blog, I’m also de-Googling my life as much as I can. One of these 2 tasks is so much easier than the other…any guesses as to which one?

  • I’m in the process of moving all my internet ramblings back to [micro.blog](micro.blog).

    I’ll host my photo galleries and any video stuff on Flickr and link them, otherwise everything else will be posted and hosted here.

  • Alder Park Sports Club AGM

    I’ve got my first AGM as Treasurer of Alder Park Sports Club this morning, and whilst I’ll be delivering a positive report, my nerves are an absolute train wreck this morning…

    Update:

    Well that was a major non-event! To hold the meeting we needed to reach a quorum of 25 members, only 16 members showed, including 7 of 9 Board Members.

    So now we reconvene next Sunday and as long as more than 2 people arrive, the meeting will go ahead.

  • I quite like edibles, gummies in particular. One takes the sharp edges off of daily life, two give a good nights sleep, and well three, three does something a bit more interesting… 😜

  • The cost of the costs is costly

    Standard bad reporting on news.com.au

  • Dental temptation…

    You know you’re having a challenging day, amongst a challenging week, when you’re tempted to say yes to an offer of an earlier dentist appointment when they call you.

  • Life Membership at New Lambton Eagles Football Club

    At New Lambton Eagles’ end of season presentation event yesterday, I was awarded Life Membership.

    It’s brilliant to be recognised for the contribution I’ve made to the Club over the last 10 years. I think I’ve held just about every position in the Club, from when Travis was in MiniRoos in 2015 through to Under 15’s PYL now.

    In that time I’ve been a Coach, Manager, Registrar, Groundsmen, Uniform Coordinator, Equipment Coordinator, Game Day Coordinator, Social Media Coordinator, Premier Youth League Boys Coordinator, Club Photographer, IT/IS Manager, and Vice President.

    Crazy! 🤪

    Looking forward, I’d like to keep doing the VP role for another year, along with having greater involvement in the NPL Men’s Program. We’ll see what shakes out at the AGM next month, which sort of times in with the new NPL Men’s squad’s first session.

    Go the Eagles! 🦅
