Love for new metro

Well, I love the new metro. Waterloo to City in a few minutes. Chatswood, 17 minutes. The trains are spotless, the stations sparkling and the staff smiling. Very impressive.

Waterloo metro station, aside from being a major piece of Sydney transport infrastructure for us in Waterloo/Redfern/Alexandria, is actually useful. I admit my reservations and disappointment about not getting a full rail upgrade but I’ll be using it. Living on Raglan Street, it’s just down the hill to the City – to four city locations, approximately 20 minutes to Crows Nest, Chatswood, North Ryde.

To give you a better example, whilst typing this I looked up and am at Chatswood. Wonderful, excellent, fantastic!

Salt and light – local journalism in the Age of AI

AI can serve human beings and the common good, but only when governed by ethical responsibility. It must not reduce people to...

A shivered plate

I can juggle three balls (badly), provided there’s a wall to bounce them off back towards me. I can keep a hacky sack in the air for around 30 taps. I can do ‘toe basketball’ and get the ball in the basket (on the floor) with my toes, at...
