Keep Calm and carry an extension lead.... [sorry, Cathy...]
Wonderful concert this afternoon by the Sydney Cantata Project. #notbach #Buxtehude Great, youthful enthusiasm for old music.
We learnt a wonderful custom when visiting Japan some years back: Get up early on New Years Day to watch the sun rise on the new year... Sunrise wasn't spectacular this year, but then...
Pearls & Irritations is a regular breath of fresh air about the news and our place in the world...

How to be an avian photographer:
[1] Carefully build a "hide"
[2] Buy a camera with a a long lens
[3] Wait for a bird
OR
Lounge in your living room and poke a camera (borrowed from your son) through the window. And wait for the little birds in the tree to call their parents... #blaxlandbirds

Blaxland Birds – Everyday birds around our place

Visiting Darwin, I was surprised to find this PWC office on the glitzy waterfront. Do we really need glossy consulting firms to tell us what we need to do in Aboriginal affairs? Have we sunk that low? #pwc #aboriginalaffairs #darwin #indigenousconsulting

I have a social media in the 2020's style problem.

Our son has resigned his job to spend a year going around Australia in a caravan with his wife and 3 y old daughter.
He and his wife post to various accounts on Instagram, Facebook, send email newsletters etc. Sometimes repeating stories, sometimes unique. I'm keen to follow their travels, but GOD, I wish they'd just _blog_ on one account. (yes, I know... I liked the Internet in the mid 90s and like and blogged in the 2010s https://coomans.com/tm/ ).

Earlier, RSS was the great white hope to help aggregate feeds, but the big boys would rather have proprietary systems.
Still, it looks like there are some moves afoot to get compatibility between systems, but somehow I think the big boys and girls are not really committed to sharing stuff sensibly.

Does anyone have practical suggestions on how to aggregate today's services into one feed?
