5 Dynnyrne Rd for Sale - Not Haunted!

5 Dynnyrne Rd. Hobart TAS, 7005.

Fantastic 4-bedroom home. Sought-after Tasmanian location.

Has stood for over 100 years (sadly no centenary letter from the Queen), being one of the original Dynnyrne Station houses. Unlike the nearby whippersnappers built in the '50s and '60s, 5 Dynnyrne Rd has weathered the test of time and is a true 1915, federation-style original.

Not haunted! No ghosts, poltergeists or repeating spectral apparitions of any kind observed or reported in the past 20 years.

Protected from meteorite impacts!* Proximity to Hobart’s iconic Kunanyi/Mt Wellington means you’ll be shielded from extra-terrestrial debris, particularly from the northwest.

Well clear of predicted tsunami disaster zone. Be “that guy” posting videos of houses getting washed away while laughing quietly yourself and sipping the micro-brewed beverage of your choice, as any (standard-sized) tsunami steamrolls over Taroona, Sandy bay and Battery Point below.**

Calming Resonance Nexus. Built on rock-solid Jurassic dolerite in the year of the rabbit (by the Chinese calendar), owners of this house will enjoy the rabbit’s creativity and sensitivity, as well as the strength and sense of purpose inherent in Earth signs – or something like that … whatever.

Australia-wide internet upgrade

Connected to Super-fast National Broadband Network! If you’re yet to experience the wonders of Australia’s NBN, buy this home and enter an exhilarating realm beyond the limits of human imagination as you blast down the information superhighway at speeds your great-grandparents never dreamed possible.

Come take a look at this beautiful home. Open Saturday 15 December 2018.

You won’t be disappointed.***

*Meteorites must enter Earth’s atmosphere at an angle of no less than 15 degrees, approximately 170km to the west of Mt Wellington for total protection to apply.

**In case of an unexpectedly large tsunami, follow all SES instructions and seek higher ground.

***And if you are? Well, that’s on you.

New project

I've been working on a book of family-orientated children's stories, drawing on my experiences bringing up my kids as a single father. I asked AI to interpret one of the stories in art and it came up with this image (after a couple of dismal failures). It's actually a fair representation of the story. Now, to begin the daunting process of finding a publisher for this collection.

The Science of Fantasy Mapmaking

Aurealis #99 is out and it features a discussion between a geologist and a geographer (aka yours truly and the incredible Russell Kirkpatrick) about maps in fantasy novels. I really enjoyed writing this article with Russell for several reasons: first, I love maps and used do produce them as part of my job. Second, I like Russell and respect his work, and third, it's a super-interesting topic What I didn't realise when I first spoke to Russell about doing a piece together, was the depth of Russell's understanding of the politics and social infrastructure behind the act of creating a map. My experience of mapmaking has been limited to: 1) reproducing my favourite faux-medieval maps from movies and/or books via a combination of pain-staking precision and ad-hoc half-assery; and 2) the production of geological, geophysical and geochemical maps designed to aid in the discovery of economically viable mineral deposits. The two don't naturally go hand-in-ha...

Cuphead and Mugman - Legendary Couch Co-op

The more contracts I take in the game industry, the more I'm appreciating the nuances of game writing. And the more I appreciate the differences between straight fiction and interactive experiences, the more I'm blown away by the creativity of some people involved in producing video games. Cue the total, mind-bending insanity of Cuphead and Mugman . I have no idea how, or why, this game came into existence. No doubt I could search it and discover all the details I'd ever want and more, but I don't need to. Cuphead and Mugman is perfectly well appreciated simply by playing it. With visuals reminiscent of early Disney cartoons - or even early Popeye - this game is like no other. It looks amazing. It sounds amazing, and it IS amazing , but in this case it's not the graphics, story, or even the gameplay that really make Cuphead a great experience for me. It's the all-pervasive, persistent absurdity of almost every element of the game that has me entranced....
