In seven days, the electricity companies will collude to bring down the usage rates of power. They see this as an absolute win for consumers. The rhetoric is excellent news for all involved. Usage costs

Media exists not in isolation, but a primordial soup of influence. We can devour the same text, listen to the same tune, but the chain link fence of causality bars us from the past as it is unrolled, upright

How much messier is my handwriting when I'm on the move? I found out. I get a lot of spam come through my website. SO many webforms completed by bots who want to sell me a SAS product that I don't want,

Environment is like a vase. Histeris and entropy will come for it. Not only for the Earth and all the beauty we observe here, but for the local star, our sun,, the galaxy, and whatever we can observe of

Fractured realities. Lost identities. Handsome show business figures. A man who doesn't exist. Confusion. What would it be like to wake up and have nobody know who you are? To have your entire history

My relationship with Slay the Spire is one that has had several years to mature. I first played it when it was free on XBOX Game Pass. It was the game I used to play while sitting on the exercise bike

Blue light unsettles. It is something phone manufacturers try to reduce so that when you're doom scrolling a feed of insignificant things, searching for meaning and connection, it is one of the eleven

If you've followed me for years, I am so sorry for all the words you've read, and even more sorry for the words that you may ignore. For a long time, an insurmountable task has confounded me. The only

This is a novel that took me far too long to get through. Three months. A slow, meandering burn through the start of one season and the end of another. Summer to winter, and through the cycle it continued,

Soulhackers 2 sits on my entertainment console. The disc was purchased second hand from somewhere, and spins quietly in the PlayStation 5. For the last few days, I've had my first exposure to the Persona

Uneven terrain rumbled the chasis of the automated truck. Once, a diesel electric powertrain. Now the sounds hydraualics only. The sound of screeching, eager to be replaced brakes replaced by whirring

Major chords sound happy. Minor chords sound sad. Power metal tends to be filled with major chords, driving riffs, a bass drum that sounds like a horse galloping joyfully, and a room full of similing faces,

For a while I have thought that transparency is a good thing. The below SQL query can be enhanced and ran on HAF SQL Servers. The idea is to target exchange accounts, then aggregate the total hive sent

Lacuna Coil, a band from Milan, Italy, made the trek across the planet to arrive at Adelaide's dearly loved live music venue, The Governor Hindmarsh hotel, known simply to locals as The Gov. Supported

I started my new job November 10. I've not met a person there that I don't like. The work itself is easy, but very demanding mentally. I have been getting up at between 4:30AM and 5:20AM since November

She is a siren in a bottle. A liquid, syrup with layers of flavour, touches of fruit, the vessel of grape, and the chilled bottle conducts the heat from my hand. I am surrounded by open-ness, yet this

In October, when I reviewed The Last Dinner Party's sophomore effort, From the Pyre, I was looking forward to the 13th of January. Between those dates, Australia's been through a bit. A heatwave, the worst
