Huh. My lunch ended up on Forbes.com almost twenty years ago and I did not know until now. www.forbes.com/2007/11/11/b... It’s the beer battered deep fried bacon double quarter pounder.

A photo of a Beer Battered Deep Fried Bacon Double Quarter Pounder. It’s also accompanied by Beer Battered Deep Re-fried French fries. The burger is simply a Bacon Double Quarter Pounder tied up with twine and the entire thing dipped in beer batter and deep fried. It was quite heavy in the belly.

Keyboard moss is a pleasing addition to office atmosphere. Moss, rotifers, bacteria and all kinds of life keeping one company. There should be more of it.

A lump of moss that I found and put on top of my Apple Extended Keyboard II. It's just above the F11-F15 keys. and sitting there like a round and green pile of life.

A friend was in the right (or wrong) place at the right (or wrong) time and Mount Etna threw a rock at her. She gave it to me. I cherish it.

A photo of a very dark almost fluffy rock sitting on a scratched beige desk surface. It’s a volcanic rock and is very lightweight to hold.

Actual layout from that customer file. It really is this bad.

A picture of a supplied layout vs required layout, one side AI generated which defies physics and logic... the other side clean and approachable, respects topology of the universe.

Unexpectedly gross stuff; the anodised aluminium of Apple gear. IT HOLDS ONTO INVISIBLE STUFF AND YOU CAN'T CLEAN IT. I mean visually you can, but a 365nm UV torch says YOU CANNOT ESCAPE HAHA EWW BIOLOGY. WHAT THE HELL DO I EMIT AT HIGH SPEED THAT'S FLUORO GREEN?!

A UV torch aiming at the front USB-C ports on a Mac Studio. It looks like it's a combination of biological wetness and spots of fluorescent mould.

The edge of an Apple Studio Display lit by 365nm UV light, showing bright fluorescent green and a couple of fluorescent blue dots. they are very bright and look like tiny LEDs but they're on the surface of the display.

A not very clean Apple Extended Keyboard II that just looks a little print/workroom grotty, but under a spot of 365nm UV light looks like it's in the afermath of a fluorescent zombie attack. There is goo and spots and hair bits EVERYWHERE shoning brightly.

The aluminium base of an Apple Studio Display showing I've probably murdered a Yautja at some point. There are light dots of blue, some purple ones, violet, and some big splashes of bright fluorescent green when lit by 365nm fluorescent light.

Commodore 64 Pride Flag.

A picture of a 16-colour pride flag in all of the C64 colours in a typical fastloader loading screen, with the main and border colours ever so slightly out of sync so the inner and outer are clearly there, just slightly different colours.

Sydney started moving to 7 digits in the early 60s - and trove ads show in 1964 they had the six digit one, but seven digits in 1966. nla.gov.au/nla.obj-3252...

Australian trans history, POC erasure, and POC folk being first to the fight so often; from '82 to '88, two trans women went to the supreme court in .au to be recognised legally. One, Phillis McGuinness, was an aboriginal trans woman from the northern territory - the other Lee Harris was from NZ.

A newspaper article from 1982 stating "Nominal penalty to allow appeal by transexuals" which speaks of Lee Harriss and Phillis McGuinness, two trans women charged as males attempting to procure two other males, vice squad police, in Sydney. The story comments some of their history; both transitioned and lived their lives as women. CSM Briese said because the two would take their case to the supreme court he'd set a nominal penalty and sentence both to imprisonment until the rising of the court, which immediately rose - allowing the course to go to the Supreme Court.

A black and white photo from 1982 of Phillis McGuinness and Roberta Perkins, leader of the Australian Transsexual Association in the 1980s. Phillis is a curly haired Aboriginal woman wearing sunglasses, and Roberta a tall white woman with long hair.

A picture of a keyboard with pictures stuck on each of the keys. There's Will Riker on the 1 key, Q on the Q key. the fonz on the A key, captain america with steve rogers in a headlock, or maybe the other way around, on caps lock, and shaft on the shift key.

The Macintosh PowerBook DuoDock 200 was a portable battery-powered version of the DuoDock, with an inbuilt display, keyboard and pointing device, allowing it to function as a PowerBook in its own right while the PowerBook Duo that docked with it was out on the road.

A picture of a Powerbook DuoDock with a keyboard and screen as part of it opening on top, and a PowerBook Duo docked into it like some kind of recursive perversion of computing norms and morals.

"It is, of course, an extraordinarily effective estrogenic agent, but that is the least of the problem. It is hypergolic with every known patient*, and so rapidly hypergolic that no induction period has ever been measured..."

A photo of a small vial of Estradiol Trifluoride

A section of text from the book Transition! An Informal History of Liquid Gender Affirmants. The text reads...

All this sounds fairly academic and innocuous, but when translated into the problem of administering the stuff, the results are horrendous. It is, of course, an extraordinarily effective estrogenic agent, but that is the least of the problem. It is hypergolic with every known patient*, and so rapidly hypergolic that no induction period has ever been measured. It is also hypergolic with such things as syringes, examination tables, cotton wool, and nursing staff, not to mention saline, alcohol, and air. It can be kept in certain fluorinated polymers, provided they are not scratched, flexed, looked at sternly, or otherwise given an excuse to participate. * The only confirmed patient not only survived but lived to a comfortable old age. Throughout life she retained the ability to ignite combustible materials by touch. The medical significance of this observation remains uncertain, but the insurance implications were immediately obvious. She is on record as having ignited cigarettes, upholstery, and, on one occasion, an accountant. Apart from these inconveniences she remained in excellent health, and was generally agreed to have led a happy, if unusually vigorous, life.

Before IBM adopted the CD-ROM standard, it briefly backed the earlier Programmed Optical Storage (POS), a proprietary six inch optical disc system incompatible with 5.25" drive bays.

A photo of an IBM 5150, a very early 1980s looking businessy computer with beige plastic, black drive bays and keyboard and a greenscreen monitor, with a single 5.25" floppy and then a 6" POS optical drive with its diagonal slot to fit the wider POS discs.

Although marketed as a Game Boy title, Emacs was widely regarded as a general-purpose computing environment with optional gaming functionality.

Reviewers noted that while Vim for Gameboy featured one of the deepest command systems on the platform, its soundtrack consisted primarily prolonged silence punctuated by occasional terrifying beeps.
