OMFG.

An anonymous donation just put my #TheMay50K fundraiser OVER its limit.

If anyone wants me, I’ll be a) Very happy and b) Exhausted.

I am precisely $267 (just 6.7%) short of my donation goal that I've been chasing all month long for ... and the clock is ticking. If anyone's willing to donate, NOW is the time!

A couple of last minute donations (thanks to Anonymous & Sean M) means I'm now at 94.4% of my goal -- and the world gets another cat picture!

(Tegan wants you to help me STRETCH to the final goal figure. Donate now!)

The stone cold legend that is Kerrie M has donated to my #May50K run, and so, lo, a cat picture emerges. Be a legend like Kerrie and donate TODAY! I'm at 93.3% -- so CLOSE!

(Tegan wants YOU. To donate. Also to bring her snacks. Mostly that second one.)

The result is in! No, not that one... I've just finished my 130km of running for -- and today is the LAST day for donations to come in.

I've spent over 17.5 HOURS this month running to raise funds -- could you perhaps spend a little to donate?

(You also get a free cat picture if you do, because the Internet still loves cats, right?)

There will now be a brief working pause while I go run 5km, as part of #TheMay50K.

During that brief pause, why not donate to sponsor me to run EVEN more?

New review time (text and video) as I test out one of the most gorgeous chargers I’ve ever reviewed, the Twelve South Butterfly.

A steep price.

It's retro game of the week time once again, and once again I'm playing Pinball -- in this case, Super Pinball: Behind The Mask for the SNES.

What lurks behind the mask is... not great.

Today in scams, a dodgy MyGov email with a handy QR code to help you log in and claim an early tax refund!

Which is, of course, a SCAM. A total and absolute scam.

Wow. Just discovered that there's still a market in dodgy anti-EMF pendants.

Also that Internet advertising algorithms are so bad, so inaccurate that they think there's any point at all in trying to push that utter junk in my direction. I mean, I could report the ad, but what would the point be? The big ad concerns -- your metas, googles and all -- clearly don't give a tinker's cuss, they just want their cut of the money.
