28:22 – Now that I’m thirty (GULP), a rambling episode about having my card skimmed in a taxi. Also failed burnouts, beeeeees, the Sydney housing bubble, burglaries, listener feedback (Marc and Shambles), missing an Overnightscape Central, Windows 95 nostalgia, sprinklers, and introverted office cacti.

33:13 – The second in a short show series documenting my last week as a 20-something! Chatting about warping lift shafts, colourful language for falling, an international Onsug, blocking websites, scripting away podcast chores, Akiyama Mio’s infamous K-On! scene, mail servers, Netflix, dead file sharing service nostalgia (aka Napster), and paying someone to do it for you!

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.

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!

59:48 – Drizzly data centre trips, birds, cryptographic randomness (lava lamps, headphone cables as sources of entropy), uber-ing a crowdsourced paradigm of synergising disruption, listener feedback (Jimbo, Bi-Coastal Becky), hoarses [sic], Jimbo interviewing me on his podcast, Kevin Tan, functionally-challenged data centre bathrooms, trudging through the rain, high school athletics I didn’t suck at (gymnastics, badminton), winning a primary school writing contest, and finding the chipset from the first computer I built in 1998. Now with all-new abrupt endings!

01:22:00 – Travelling back to Adelaide, where I first went to university and where most of the early Rubénerd Shows were recorded in 2005! Clara from the Snake Tea Podcast joins in the pontifications about this beautiful little Australian city as we wander late at night. So much has stayed the same, yet so much has changed. Goodbye, Isobar!

55:27 – Cicadas, overhead planes, show 300 feedback, powers of two, the Airbus A380, Wings, unusual clouds, light patterns, abandoned tennis courts with floodlights, Dave Chappelle as Rick James, couldn’t care less about celebrities, Dôme coffee chain in Perth and Singapore, childhood lessons about trusting the media, Chinese whispers, multimedia encyclopaedia CD-ROMs, citing Wikipedia, Apple IIc, squirrels, 1980s GUIs, nonsense about why Windows 9 was skipped, Mac OS 8.6, and my decade-long adventure with a “dead” PowerMac G3!
