A photo of an white metal outdoor table with several pieces of wood in various states of being cut on it, along with a circular saw and a jigsaw, as well as earmuffs, and a mask,

Continuing with my theme of productive New Years Eve, this time I'm doing some woodworking! Making a second level for my painting table so I've got more room to put my paints, because I'm very much running out of room at this point.

A photo of the box of Warhammer 40,000: Fireteam. The artwork consists of two Space Marines clad in blue power armour in the midst of a number of grey metal Terminator-looking robots.

New game! Really keen to take this for a spin, it's like Warhammer Underworlds in that it's got a hex-based board you play on, but it's set in the 40K universe and the bulk of the rules are based on the new Kill Team edition that came out earlier this year. It comes with Space Marines and Necrons but has cards for an additional four factions if you've got the miniatures for them (which conveniently I do)!

A small (~30cm wide) horizontal speaker with a light grey mesh on the front. The speaker body is made of walnut and it's quite charmingly retro-looking.

The same speaker but without the grill, showing the individual speakers inside it. There's two woofers towards the middle, and two tweeters on either end.

Both my USB guitar input and electronic drum set have headphone jacks on them, and no way to get actual audio out of them without plugging into that. If I'm using headphones by myself that's fine, but if I want to be showing someone else while hearing what I'm doing, it's a bit of a problem!

I looked into Bluetooth speakers that have 3.5mm jacks as well (we've got a little Bluetooth speaker that I use to listen to music from my phone when I'm out in the back room doing my painting and it does okay, but the sound quality's not great plus it lacks any way of getting audio to it except Bluetooth), and decided to get the Audioengine B2. It arrived today and is both very handsome and sounds quite good!

A photo looking out and down at a busy city street with tall buildings everywhere, taken from the 28th floor.

In the office today for a team event!

A photo looking down at a nearly-finished little shopping village. There's various barriers and parts that aren't done but it looks like it's ready to open soon.

We're on a train going into the city for yum cha with friends! Hell of a difference with the construction across the road compared to September last year. Also the weather is MISERABLE today but we had to plan everything well in advance of knowing what it was going to be like.

A photo looking down the entire length of a Sydney Metro train, with absolutely nobody on it.

We're on our way to our favourite Greek restaurant for dinner and are literally the only people on this entire train.

A screenshot of the Apple Store showing a 16" MacBook Pro with the M1 Max chip in the Space Grey colour, with 32GB RAM, and 2TB storage.

Happy New MacBook Pro Day! 🎉 This will be a worthy upgrade from my Late 2013 27" iMac. Now I just need to find a decent high-DPI external display...

A photo of the box of the Warhammer Underworlds warband "The Grymwatch", which are essentially zombies. Also a bunch of little different coloured tufts of grass that are designed to stick onto a miniature's base and add visual interest, and a tub of "muddy ground" brown texture paint, also for basing.

I'm excited to see what interesting things I can do with these little basing grass tufts and the "muddy ground" texture! Got a few ideas already, and definitely no lack of miniatures on which to use them. And I decided to pick up the Grymwatch having seen someone do a WAY cooler paint job with them than the standard one.

A photo of a vampire miniature, Prince Duvalle. His skin is very pale blue like he's dead (which is he, because he's a vampire), he's wearing steel- and brass-coloured armour with a blood red cloak, he has a sword in one hand, and his other hand is held up in front of him in a sort of "We will crush them" pose. His front foot is resting on top of the broken-off head of a stone statue.

Getting back into painting by FINALLY starting the Crimson Court from Warhammer Underworlds which I got back in April!

A wide-angle photo of our home office showing a full height white Billy bookcase along the right wall and a half-size on along the left, with a third full-size one in pieces on the floor.

This morning's project: putting together a third IKEA Billy bookshelf for the office!
