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?

Each night, gather your children and tell them tales of the Before Times when the hubris of humanity grew so large that we made idols of sand and spoke to them as equals. Remind them that the sand, of course, did not speak or think, but we imagined it could, and let it guide us to folly.

Should a stranger ever come to your village with a glowing rectangle, encourage the youth to beat them with sticks.
