Here's the heart-breaking headline: somebody's doing it already, and they're better than us. It's been done. It's been said. Been there, done that. Whatever type of content you're aiming to create, if it's too generic, there's a very good chance som...

I'm now on Unsplash

I've been using Unsplash for the best part of four years and I find it rather useful. I always find it fascinating. Some of these images are of the greatest quality and you can use them for free. I wonder what that means. My goal is to upload imag...

My like to dislike ratio is changing

My like to dislike ratio is changing. That doesn't mean much, but I've noticed. Breaking down the like to dislike ratio is always weird. For example, on YouTube, dislikes are a lot more likely when you upload a Short, for whatever reason. Facebook...

So yesterday I had a zoom call with my boss. He wanted to know my opinion regarding the possibility of bringing a new person to help us with certain tasks. This is literally what I said. I said, "I know the dos and don'ts, so we need no help on tha...

Living with my (new) self

27 Oct 2023 1 minute read 0 comments LeftFooted $0.05

I guess the best way to go about it is to be honest and straightforward. Back in July I was involved in an accident. The injuries I sustained were serious but not life-threatening. They are injuries I can heal from but not fully. In a technical, li...

A friend of mine just moved to New Zealand from the UK and she documented her first day in NZ on Instagram. She's a vet, and owns several pets, and one of them is a cat whose favourite hobby is having an accident. Somewhere around midnight, the cat...

A great example of how government overreach can cause issues

Juventus player Nicolò Fagioli opened the floodgates and now everyone's trying to swim upstream. And failing. The young footballer, who's on a $1m salary (per year) at 22 years of age, is in deep s**t 'cause he got caught betting (and apparently los...
