Some of the time I'm a researcher in human-machine communication (#HMC). Up to November 2024 I taught #WebComms and #WritingOnTheWeb. My research is listed and linked from the About on my website. Email me or ask me here if there is anything I've written that you'd like to read. Still finding out who I am and who I'll become: my posting here reflects that process.
#ThreeGoodThings 1. A restful day, 2. Working on one of my jigsaw puzzle collection, 3. Out to an early (yay!) concert tonight. #3GoodThings
#ThreeGoodThings 1. Good 2-hour golf practice session on a sunny-cloudy day, 2. Bought myself (and ate) some peanut butter (because that's what I wanted), 3. Managed to stick with the "more than an hour of weights a week" program this week with another short session (to build strength and bone). #3GoodThings
#ThreeGoodThings 1. A round of golf in the sun with nice people (didn't play well, oh well, never mind), 2. Was given a homegrown grapefruit (which smells amazing), 3. Someone else is cooking the dinner as I type. #3GoodThings
#ThreeGoodThings 1. Lifted some weights, 2. Hit some balls a long way, 3. Went for a walk in the sun. #3GoodThings
Bonus 4. Currently eating a piece of cheese #mmmcheese
#ThreeGoodThings 1. The rain waited until I got back home after lunch, so I had a lovely morning out in the sun, 2. Now I'm warm and full of tea and chocolate, 3. I'm in the process of loading a few new posts to my website (but there's a warning... they're all about golf practice and improvement). #3GoodThings
#ThreeGoodThings 1. Range and putting practice were enjoyable and constructive, 2. Walked in the sun and took more photos of plants I'd like in the garden, 3. Mostly pre-prepared dhansak-ish dinner tonight, so that's both easy and tasty. #3GoodThings
I realise I’m waiting for a serendipitous moment, when my walk, the duck quacking and someone who lives in the street coincide so I can ask, “Do you know where the duck lives?” (With the unspoken subtext, “it’s changed my life and I’d like to meet it in person.”)
#ThreeGoodThings 1. "The hooligans", ie the young ravens, are entertaining me as they play/fight in the air on this windy, grey day, 2. Physio will get me out of the house, but whether I stay out will depend on how much rain falls, 3. The duck is still quacking (aware this is me reaching for three things, but it genuinely is still a good thing). #3GoodThings
I missed #ShowYourStripes day but thought I’d still share Perth’s stripes via the link so you can view your own region: https://showyourstripes.info/l/australasia/australia/perth
#ThreeGoodThings 1. Have pretty much avoided doom/procrastination scrolling today, 2. Read "real" websites via existing RSSs and added a bunch of promising new feeds to my aggregator, 3. About to go for a walk (it's not sunny but it's bright and not too cold). #3GoodThings
