The term "stablecoin" reminds me of when the Mornington Shire Council changed the name of "Shark Bay" to "Safety Beach". Many lessons for crypto "lunatics" highlighted by the AFR. afr.com/technology/an-…

Congrats Steve Vamos for your awesome contribution to @xero despite the shitty headline. You nailed it. Would love to catch up in 2023 when you are busy tending to your "spring chickens" afr.com/technology/xer…

It’s one thing to stand down baggage handlers for trashing our luggage, but Qantas how about taking responsibility and replacing it. You’ve fought me at every step claiming normal wear & tear even after reviewing these photos.
