Just met a dog called Ronnie Cockles and that might be the best name for a dog ever.

Got some new ‘Jigsaw Choices’ up on the shop! You find this and lots of other stuff right here: instachaaz.shop
Ok so… there is an 8x8 piece jigsaw puzzle, it’s all yellow, and there’s some text written on it. There’s two pieces of the puzzle missing, so that whatever is written is missing two letters. Those missing letters will be a dash in the following transcription: The jigsaw slogan reads: I’m no_ gonna do that thing I’ve got to do _hen I can have fun. Below this jigsaw are the two missing pieces, one a W and the other a T. This means the slogan, depending on where you put the missing pieces can read one of two ways: Either: I’m now going to do that thing I’ve got to do then I can have fun. Or… I’m not going to do that thing I’ve got to do when I can have fun. Ok so… there is an 8x8 piece jigsaw puzzle, it’s all yellow, and there’s some text written on it.

Here's a little comic I drew for @kagi.com recently.
kagi.com Kagi HQ @kagi.com · 15d
How search should work.
Two-panel comic contrasting search engines. Top panel "How Search Works": User asks for "the thing" but receives irrelevant ads, data collection requests, and wrong results from multiple sources. Bottom panel "How It Should Work": User asks for "the thing" and immediately receives the correct result. Credit: @instachaaz

Just when I think I’ve seen every old news story on Irish road bowling, another brilliant one turns up.
“Not since Big Jim Macklin jumped over two cart horses for a barrel of ale and promptly fell into a canal in 1852 has there been such excitement here”

Today’s Choice….
So we’ve got a little stick figure comic here, which is titled ‘Today’s Choices’ and in the first half, your option is “Talk to these people” and our protagonist (that’s probably you) is confronted with the usual group of water-cooler-dwelling guys up for a chat, and they’re variously all saying stuff like “How was your Christmas” and “God New Years Eve?” and “How was your break?” and “Did you get away” and of course the guy holding a smoothie asking if you ‘Feel Refreshed?!” In the second half, your option here is “...or discover all the work ‘2025-You’ decided was your problem” and there’s you, the protagonist, sitting at your laptop and saying to yourself, “Actually, might go chat to the guys”

Hardest question in any Christmas pub quiz - what day of the week is it today?
December 27, 2025 at 11:04 AM

And so it begins…
What we have here, at first glance, is a calendar showing the months of December and January - in a standard week-per-line calendar format. The days methodically roll on from one to the next, week by week, working their way down to the end of December, at which point things get weird. As soon as Christmas has come and gone, the chronology of the days begin to detach from each other, the dates of each day gradually morph into confusion and lose all semblance of order and meaning until the entire last week of December is a surreal, vague and swirling mess of confusion. Out of this haze of uncertainty appears the one solidly identifiable day: “New Years Eve”, and then after it floats by, and the new years day hangover gradually subsides, the first week of January slowly and miraculously starts to reassemble itself like a decomposing animal in reverse. By the 5th of January, life is back to normal, you’re back at work, and you regretfully know exactly what day it is.

Hey everyone! So, time to give my little shop a shout out! There’s lots of stuff there, including artwork, personalised cartoons, and maps and stuff! Come on in and check it all out! instachaaz.shop
So I’ve drawn a little picture of me next to a sign that says ‘Shop is Open (for now)’ - and I’m throwing what appears to be prints and artworks around, which is terrible behaviour for a guy trying to sell artworks but hey, it looks a lot more dynamic and fun drawn like that. Also there shop address is men to once at the bottom: Instachaaz.shop

The fact that AI is getting worse because it’s now scraping its own inaccurate results is so fucking joyous. ‘Difficult Second Album’ is it mate?!

There’s always that moment, as you get the scissors to do that cool gliding thing, where you mistakenly assume you’re quite good at this…
So what we’ve got here is essentially a four image comic, showing a step-by-step process for how to wrap a present. Step 1, the wrapping paper is rolled out with enough to cater for the cardboard box it’s going to wrap up. In Step 2, it’s wrapped all the way over and some ape holds it into place. Step 3, the ends are beginning to be expertly folded very neatly. However, Step 4 reveals the end product which is a complete mess, multiple tears, uneven folds, and at least 7 or 8 different bits of tape all desperately trying to hold it together.

A gentle reminder if you've received an invoice from a Freelancer/Self employed person which is due before Christmas.

Be a love, and pay it today.

Tune in for this one folks. I’m not a data-vis guy, but I do know how to utilise charts/graphs for comedic gain! Which expressed as a Venn, looks very close to a circle!

Me as a Melbournian: Melbourne is amazing and Sydney is a culturally vacuous, meretricious facade of bullshit that is best avoided.

Me as an Australian overseas: Oh fuck yeah, go to Sydney it’s fucking beautiful and amazing. You can miss the rest.

You know that guy John McClain meets on the plane? I still watch Die Hard hoping he’ll turn up at Nakatomi plaza and do cool shit. Never does though.

No Alexa, stop! I said play ‘Creep’, by Radiohead. I didn’t say play ‘Creep - remastered’, did I?

You’re so controlling. You think you’re so special. So fucking special. Ugh.
