First Xmas book read...
In Ascension, Martin MacInnes
Disappointing not living up to hype, too many implausibilities & irrelevancies, too many jumps in continuity, too little coherence, MM can’t keep a promising line of thought going And the ending, oh FFS
Sorry, but overall, I can't recommend it

So he praises Tassal as a great Tassie exporter and Richard Flanagan as a great Tassie author in the same breath

What would you rather have…

2. Pie-in-the-sky, pigs will fly, swill in the trough, dirty dangerous nuclear in the Hunter valley

Rule #1 for new technology, whatever it is, whatever the field:
there will be unexpected consequences
so it’s unsurprising that new digital technologies, from for blockchain to AI, have unforeseen insidious consequences

Here’s a little pottery piece I made pre-bisque firing… the colours will change.. as they include titanium, chromium, iron, copper and zinc based pigments
Quiz question… which pigment should show the biggest colour change and why?
