Life isn't all hay, carrots and raiding the succulent garden. Sometimes it’s podcasts and reality TV competitions as well.

This year’s crop of CTI participants is a wholesome bunch.

@NZStuff Having any tech issues? Haven’t been able to see any stories on Stuff website via mobile phone this morning. I get the purple page border but no text or images. Viewing in Safari.

If Spotify’s recommendation algorithm was smarter I don’t think I’d be getting so many Christmas 🎄 recs today.

@jamieloftusHELP Excellent book.

@southernscoop Pity about the quinces.

[Fujitsu Bubbles @NZBlu]

@southernscoop Wonder if the convolvulus is still out the back escaping into the neighbour’s veggie patch. Used to be a reliable quince tree too.

Anyhoo - 10 out of 10; would recommend. I spent years casually ignoring geological timeframes but was inspired to draw my own eons, eras, periods, and epochs chart and I am now ready for that one quiz question in my future that needs me to know the Cambrien from the Ordovician.

Finished listening to season 2 of @PrehistoryGuide and just gotta express my concern that a podcast host and two experts might be stuck in the Jurassic with no way home.

I want to take a holiday. I’m kind of sad I don’t have a Time Machine to travel à la @PrehistoryGuide podcast back to some other time on earth :)

[Fujitsu Bubbles @NZBlu]

Speaker was an interesting chap. Interesting to hear his perspective on going to the bottom of the ocean. Someone should do a story on him 🤣

[Fujitsu Bubbles @NZBlu]

Thanks to @SkepticsGuide I had a good idea what @ZEALANDIA ‘s guest speaker at the AGM tonight was talking about when he used the word benthic. Last week, had no idea 🤣

Listening to Scriptnotes podcast listener feedback while doing Stuff quiz. Exact same time.

Is Wellington tracking above or below average for sunshine hours this year? ☀️

[Fujitsu Bubbles @NZBlu]

Sometimes I go on podcast holiday. It’s good to stop the voices for a while. But there’s always shows that join me on holiday 😎
* Scriptnotes
* You Are Not So Smart
* Skeptics Guide to the Universe
* No Such Thing As a Fish
* DNA ID

What are your desert island podcasts?

Taught ChatGPT about spicy hay tonight.

@NZStuff Questions for you: How do you use the data you collect from the icon survey at the end of articles? How often do you analyse the results? Are there any trends you see? Why those six emotions? Which one gets selected most? What % of users respond? #curious

@GeraldPiddock I’m watching on TV3+. His smugness is about to be rewarded. I was annoyed before but am now feeling viciously satisfied. I don’t hold much with the idea of karma - it often seems like its invocation is the last resort of someone with no decent comeback - but in this case …

[Fujitsu Bubbles @NZBlu]

I’m watching Contact again. For some reason the Drumlin character is annoying me in ways I don’t recall from the first time I saw it.

[Fujitsu Bubbles @NZBlu]

I bet this gets asked all the time … but how would Scriptnotes be a movie? @johnaugust

[Fujitsu Bubbles @NZBlu]

Final thoughts. Rabbits were the real winners on the day. Didn’t see a single one get sighted (or shot) during entire season on #Tracked

[Fujitsu Bubbles @NZBlu]

Would love to hear stories from the camera men and women. #Tracked #TV3nz
