  I've had a bit of a stressful evening. See when I was at uni, I used to claim that I worked at a company called OrcaCare, that designed harnasses for helping distressed killer whales. It turns out, I didn't really work there, and it was just a stupid bit to amuse people at parties. It's pretty much stolen from the George Costanza "marine biologist" bit from Seinfeld.

  I'm going to sleep now. My availability will be lower than the average Microsoft cloud service, but at least I had planned for it.

  Today's "Team fun question" was 'First job?'. One guy said it was dressing up as a clown for children. I kinda got to double answer, because my first job was working at Woolworths, where I also got to dress up in a bear costume one time. Anyway, I shared this with the team, so I'll share it here too for your amusement. (CW: 1999 images)

  Diane Morgon is one of those actors where you see an image of them, with a subtitle, and you can hear the accent. #DianeMorgan #PhilomenaCunk

  Reminder... 'Cunk On Cinema' is out this weekend. I remember struggling to stop laughing, with kids having just gone to bed, on my first viewing of 'Cunk On Earth'. https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2026/nov/12/cunk-on-cinema-review-philomena-cunk-diane-morgan-bbc-two #PhilomenaCunk #CunkOnCinema #DianeMorgan

  I have eaten a bowl of chilli marinated tofu, mixed in with chicken flavour two minute noodles. (vegan, apparently) I can now see through time! It seems like... I will... spend much of the weekend lazing around. Good to know.

  I gave Pippin Cat some treats because he over-invested in Nvidia and now his portfolio is in tatters.

  "Nvidia prepares to oust Jensen Huang, WSJ reports — stock sinks further" Apparently he was caught on camera with different person, a Nvidia exec, back in March. https://www.cnbc.com/2026/11/11/nvidia-jensen-huang-affair-employee.html

  Does anyone have any suggestions about driving from Canberra to Parramatta for a conference that starts at 9:30 AM? (In a couple of weeks time) I have visions of me being stuck in unfamiliar streets, looking for parking locations, all the while staring at my heart-rate monitor thinking... "Oh no! If my BPM crosses the threshold... the 'other guy' is gonna come out!!!" #Parramatta

  I’m watching the 39th film in a series. Luckily I’ve seen the previous 38 films, so I’ll know what’s going on. #Godzilla

  Pippin Cat is running around chirping. I think he's still mad at some birds outside the window that disrespected him this arvo.

  I put on Godzilla Minus One while I potter around and do things. I kinda forgot that a good part of this movie is punching the audience right in the gut. (It turns out ok) (... or does it?!?!) #Godzilla

  Truly, this has been the most dramatic popular vote since Taylor Swift was banned from Triple J's Hottest 100 songs of 2014. #USPol #Hottest100 #JJJ #TripleJ #Tay4Hottest100 #NeverForget

  If you have 3 minutes spare, this video of Patrick Stewart talking about meeting Sting on the set of Dune is quite funny. https://youtu.be/Fb_LO7gJo-4 #PatrickStewart #Dune
