40:03 – The only other Rubénerd material posted on this weird day, spam as art for computers, having your own email address, towers of AOL trial CDs, fragility of memory, 1990s IT magazine nostalgia, work fatigue, why ISO dates are so damn good, time speeding up as we age, school holidays, introversion, events that only happen every four years, knowing someone born on the 29th of February, the Lunar New Year, and a proposal for a global public holiday.

10:55 – I found my first attempt at rebooting the Rubénerd Show from January 2013! Topics included time stamp counters, audible tangents, tea, being back in Sydney, and torched coffee shops. Two years later, the show restarted for good with an episode that didn’t abruptly end with a door opening.

01:08:50 – With inside, within side? Haunted lifts, loud “bark blowers†as an alternative to silo lift things, age is “just a number!â€, the three states of apartment building locks and USB plugs, pleasant rain sounds, tragedy of the commons, live brewing coffee and caffeinated adventures, building a gaming machine (AMD versus Intel, the GTX 970 and GTX 980, the i5-6400, the FX-8350, Athlon nostalgia, PCPartPicker.com), congrats to Frank Edward Nora for his full time job, being stalked by a dancing guy in OfficeWorks, and feedback from Jimbo and Chad Bowers regarding fronts falling off.

21:27 – Clark and Dawe, fronts of tankers falling off, fronts of financial systems falling off, fronts of cars falling off, fronts of moose (mooses? moosii?) falling off, and other related ruminations. This episode would have been longer, but the front fell off.

52:35 – Anyone will tell you it’s a prison island, hidden in the summer for a million years. Happy Australia Day with this discussion of what should be the anthem, Captain Cook, our native peoples, where we all live, cliché Australian tourism advertising, Outback Steakhouse, and humbling flights over the desert. Topped off with a Midnight Citizen-inspired discussion on rapidly fading music and book retail (Coconuts, Borders, Angus & Robertson, Tower Records, HMV in Singapore, the magical late 1990s), and the darn space all those books and DVDs take up. Released late because work has been tough, hope it was worth it!

49:25 – Spicy Thai food, student housing mates, finding out we have Danish relatives, IKEA trips (the wonderful new cafés, custom tables, impulse purchasing), the coffee triangle, remembering David Bowie and Alan Rickman (mix tapes, fabulousness, ultimate villains), stupid things said about their passing (keeping their sicknesses a “secretâ€, that they “looked†healthy), re-recording episodes, jobs, and the ever-elusive letterbox key from strata.
