1:04:09 – Doc Sleaze battles a cold in order to bring you his seasonal special.

36:50 – Recording in daylight (it burns!). Pontificating on the societal impact of teleportation (noise pollution, replication, construction, food), getting over political cynicism, reciting the Periodic Table, Old Mascot, blogging in coffee shops, Hashicorp Terraform, and blog posts from exactly a decade ago (Jamie Oliver, Security Theatre, The SwiMP3 player).
40:26 – A mini heatwave and monsoon, psychological torture, taking the stairs in lieu of lifts, Sydney’s expensive New Year fireworks, late 1990s DirectX graphics, feeling like the world is a simulation, viewing empty skylines, nihilism and being the only real person, beautiful bird sounds, evening storms, taxis targeting pedestrians, a sufficiently vast universe to harbour other life, evolution, holodecks, philosophical honesty, rendering the world around humans, the observer effect, and that darn Star Trek Prime Directive!
54:34 – Drinking water, fear of forgetting things, keycards living in apartments, Singaporean reception desks, HDBs, sovereign wealth funds, cinematic masks, 007 Spectre, the Stars (Trek, Gate, Wars), Marvel’s Hawkeye, manga, difficulty getting into comics, the Star Trek reboot, The Undiscovered Country, reserved HTML status codes, creepy car park music, disappointing vegetarian breakfasts, unified theory on hand dryer training (the Dyson AirBlade and AirBlade V), the New South Wales HSC, scary tutour billboards in Sydney’s Epping station, societal pressure to study at all costs, government funding private schools (wait what?) and some awesome FleetCard 80s graphics!
