Okay, I got the two Tombow marker colors that look about right and a Micron brush pen. Here's a little test owl. I think it'll work. 🤞

I do however think production companies could make a killing if they sold the stuff on audiobook platforms though. Like Audible, etc. But I guess no one has thought of this idea yet. @celrock

I realised yesterday, November 4th, 2026, that it was 10 years ago that I started Great Australian Pods.

Originally, it was a small hobby site on Blogger that I started as an assignment task while studying at CIT.

It has now morphed into a full time unpaid job, curating and maintaining a WordPress directory that has, as of yesterday, 19002 Australian podcast listings. Bloody hell!

What a beautiful, hopeful day!! 🥰

Data centers in earth orbit is a stupid idea, basic physics says so. The smart move is sending them to into the sun. Think of all the power!

Text: 'I love this. This should never have happened.'
No description on the video, and no words.
Video seems to e the sound of passing cars on a wet road, so basically people driving on a wet surface should have never happened and you love it?

The state of posts around here sometimes baffles me.

Don’t forget, tonight the moon will be visible from Earth. The last time this happened was last night.

A lot of sighted programmers are saying gen AI is useless and that it doesn't improve productivity, that anything it does could have been done more easily and in less time without it.

Let's assume that is true.

Then, and given the recent solutions to outstanding accessibility issues achieved through gen AI, I'm afraid my conclusion has to be the vast majority of projects and sighted coders give absolutely no fucks about accessibility, because apparently, and subject to the claim being true, this was easy to fix all along.

A Long-eared Owl is tagged for scientific research by Rocky Point Bird Observatory in BC, Canada. "In order to safely band and weigh larger owls, we put them in a wrap which keeps them calm." Want to donate to RPBO? https://rpbo.org/donate/ Source: https://fb.com/1488930533144323 #owlsintowels 💛🦉

I make my smart TV a dumb TV by never never ever ever never ever connecting it to the internet.

Does anyone know the status of Xena, the #digipres tool developed by National Archives of Australia? It seems pretty clear that it is no longer in development since ~2018 and won't run on most machines. I guess I'm curious what NAA uses now, or how/why they stopped supporting Xena?

What does the Commons mean to you? Glad you asked!

For Creative Commons’ 25th anniversary, we asked some of the people behind CC: What does the commons mean to you? Their answers became this four-part series of personal reflections. We’re kicking things off with four perspectives.

Continue to follow along this week as we release more stories! And reply to share what the commons means to you!

What she said.

The year is 2040.

You see another traveler, wandering towards you across the arid wastelands.

"Like 'n' subscribe," he mumbles, nodding to you as you pass.

"Like 'n' subscribe," you reply.

Had sighted people asking me lately where can I download audio described TV shows like an audiobook so I can listen to them in my new car because I have a long car trip. Directed a few to the audio vault. #Movies #TV
