Chinwag admin, fan of open communication standards, maintainer of communities, male comedienne.

Winner of Time Magazine "Person of the Year" 2006 and will never get tired of that joke.

I talk about #retrocomputing a lot. I also do a lot of #gardening and occasionally make #bread and #beer. I have been a Unix #sysadmin for about 30 years but I think I'll be OK.

I live in #Melbourne, #Australia and sometimes tell jokes on stages around here. I co-host a #StarTrek podcast with @ThePingMachine

Can't believe how easily we solved the issue of single use plastic bags by simply printing "reusable bag" on them. That's real outside-the-bag thinking. Top work, team!

Could this technology be applied in other areas? Has anybody tried painting "not melting" on a glacier?

I found a companion piece a couple of blocks over, this one a commentary on how the detritus of capitalism has led us to turn our backs on nature. #art #StreetArt https://static.chinwag.net.au/media_attachments/files/116/780/527/611/893/256/original/3fbe00a1839385b9.jpg
