As we return to new normal with COVID-19 becoming endemic, I thought I would provide a brief update. Throughout the lockdowns I went to many more virtual concerts. I very much enjoyed the ones by John McCutcheon. I also have put more stuff on SoundCloud. My latest is a cover of a Judy Small song [...]
It's been a long time since I was anywhere online. Occasionally I appear on twitter and my personal FaceBook but have not published anything really good. Most of my work has gone online the past two years both at AUT and in the studio. It's been hard to adjust to the new normal for all [...]
I have been so busy lately that I have not been a regular presence on any social network or blog. I'm still here, yes yes, I'm here... as the sondheim song says. I continue to work for AUT as an electronic notetaker 2-3 days a week. This makes me a little money but, more importantly, [...]

I have just got a new computer, another Mac from Apple. I spent the past few days setting it up. This is run of the mill stuff — I migrated all my content over from my old Mac. But there were some messages that VoiceOver, the built-in screenreader that comes with Mac OS wouldn’t read. This post [...]
I want to share with you all about my Geographical to Sydney. What I didn’t tell you was I was going to see a friend and was abandoned to my own devices by friend for most of the week I was gone. On Sunday April 2, I walked a mile up the Pacific Highway to [...]
