Outside of data consulting through @lobsterpot.com.au, I do comedy (sometimes musical!) and I work as Santa. I was rob_farley on Twitter

I’m re-reading Project Hail Mary, and I’m 25% of the way through. I’m curious to see how they do the movie, and whether things will happen at the same kind of pace.

Felt good to submit a couple of conference sessions today. September already has two sessions booked, and now maybe a third. Plus my first conference submission for 2026.

Spotify: Here’s some music you like, based on what been listening to this year. Duolingo: Bonjour! Dzień dobry! You’ll be able to understand this, based on how many foreign words you’ve learned this year. LinkedIn: I’ve got this…

The notification screen on my phone, at 7:47am on Christmas Day. There is a notification from LinkedIn, suggesting I follow the Chief Executive of Suicide Prevention Australia.

This should make for a fun “live blog” experience. Hooray for being 50. Also, their address seems appropriate, considering they want me to send them something from my backside.

The Australian government wants me to send them some of my poo. This is a letter sent to me from the National Bowel Cancer Screening Program, whose address is in the Melbourne suburb of Sunshine.

I liked the new Senna mini-series, in some ways even more than the 2010 doco. I always admired that he was more than just a driver, with such deep faith and passion. Like my father he died in his mid-30s (Senna ten years later), both making me wonder what kind of future they could have had.

I thought with all my Santa gigs cancelled (because of my crutches) that I’d do well with #Whamageddon. Not so. I’m out already. Business meeting in a hotel got me. See you all in Whamhalla.

Whamageddon rules. THE IST RULE The objective is to go as long as possible without hearing WHAM's Christmas classic; "Last Christmas". THE 2ND RULE The game starts on December 1st, and ends at midnight on December 24th. (Yes, were European heathens) THE 3RD RULE Only the original version applies. Enjoy the fuck out of remixes and covers. THE 4TH RULE You're out as soon as you recognise the song. BONUS RULE Post on social media with the #whamageddon hashtag when you get hit. PUP? While we can't stop you from deliberately sending your friends to Whamhalla, the intention is that this is a survival game. Not a Battle Royale. So don't be a dick, mkay?

It’s no fun when a doctor says “at least you’re in good spirits” when I’m seeing him about an injury that is taking way too long to heal and I need to cancel my Santa gigs this year. He didn’t seem to get my “No, this is just because I’m around people - I’m really not doing well” reply. :(
