@pwcc @KathyReid The Hollywood thing popped into my head too. But it’s not a perfect analogy. Tech means we can work anywhere. I’ve met folks who work on digital effects for Hollywood movies right here in Sydney.
@pwcc @KathyReid As someone who didn’t grow up here, I always wonder how much cultural cringe plays into decisions to head overseas…
Oh! Turns out that others have written about cultural cringe and the local tech industry for a while now. https://t.co/QUxbb1ZO2k https://t.co/QZhMaYcv1q
@samthor Seriously! 😂

guess who got a Google home mini today
Interesting. Doesn’t include any capitalisation or punctuation. I’m also curious whether it’s limited to my voice… https://t.co/01HDN5FXzI
@tinypang @JamesStewartNYT @NewYorker Oh god, that’s lovely. (I was in a production of Fiddler once. We didn’t have a real violinist for that part.)
@AshKyd We’ve had a Home for a while now. Today’s experimentation was around setting up separate users, creating some IFTTT integrations, etc.

@spidie Indeed. It was his Christmas gift from my mother! https://t.co/J7rIszd6X1
When you say “It’s country music time” in my house, Google Home now starts playing “Ghost Riders in the Sky.” 😂
There’s an IFTTT applet to have your Google Home send an emergency email blast triggered by a secret phrase. I’m depressed that this is needed in the world. 🙁 https://t.co/3xJzkNhYib
@mmastertheone It’s a little mean spirited in places, but it’s largely accurate.
@fox Well done! Can’t wait to see the Program.
