I make and manage websites (Drupal, WordPress and Webflow mostly) and other web things. I occasionally do some writing and freelance project management. I am on the northern beaches of Sydney.

I make beer for fun and have a strange obsession with fountain pens and stationery.

Otherwise I just gibber on the internet. I was on Mastodon a few years ago but the instance doesn't seem to be around any more, so apologies if you are re-following.

@penaddict Have you been directed to JJ Lax's new-ish YouTube chanel yet? https://www.youtube.com/@uncapped_jjlax
He's sharing some knowledge and experience that it can be hard to come by elsewhere. Very micro-niche fountain pen though!
Before you continue to YouTube

This was on my wife's desk. Wasn't aware that I warranted a manual.

Colin Blake was eating a meal with his wife in France when he was bitten by a Peruvian wolf spider.

Dear Mazeratti and Lexus, please stop advertising to me on podcasts. I cannot afford and will not buy your overpriced polluting toys. Kthxbai
Glad I waited until the fine monoc nib was available. Really nice fine line with pencil like feedback and a smooth elegant architect grind on the reverse.
Have put it in my Gravitas Ultemate Vac for a hi tech combo.

Luxury of choice.

My @smh @theage cartoon.

I didn't invade & colonise Australia 230 years ago. I didn't kill Indigenous landowners who had lived on & cared for these lands for at least 65,000 years. But when I #VoteYes, I will be part of *today's* Australia. One that wants to listen & repair harm & recognise what's true.
