I'm a geek, techie, drummer, amateur photographer, and typography nerd. My pronouns are he/him. I live on Woiworung land in Naarm (Melbourne, Australia).

I'm not quite an internet old-timer, but I have been on social media since the mid-1990s (dial-up and Usenet!).

I work in the analytics, web, and social media space.

I talk about a lot of random things and try to post photos that I've taken reasonably regularly.

If you are encouraging AI use at your organization, be aware that women are judged more harshly than men for using AI. Make sure to evaluate quality of the AI work product instead of the qualities of the employee using AI.

Trash talking: Pauline at the Press Club - Ronni Salt at The Shot

"Won’t somebody spare a thought for the new patron saint of the National Press Club, Pauline Hanson? She’s there to sort Australia’s trashy media out and set them on the right track because Pauline is sick and tired of the press, thank you very much, sick and tired, and tired and sick, and oh my wig and whiskers, how many times does she have to tell you Press Club people how sick she is of you?"

Friends, asking for accounts on Mastodon or organizations that are about low vision resources. I am losing my sight (not from macular degeneration) and want to connect with others like me. It's pretty devastating for someone who's been an artist and photographer all my life, but accessibillity options are greatly improving. Currently using Zoom, Magnify and VoiceOver on the iphone. Looking for connection and inspiration and your well wishes too! #lowvision #accessibility
