A convoy of ambulances and police cars at Pennant Hills

I just saw three ambulances and about as many police cars travelling south at Pennant Hills. They overrode the lights to give them a clear run. Sadly, someone is having a terrible night.

And before anyone gives me a hard time about taking a photo in the car, it was turned off. We were sitting there for about five minutes, long before we heard the sirens.

Internal emails expose scale of Anthropic's Australian AI plans

Just one AI company wants to build more data centre capacity than the whole of Australia currently has. In just one state, NSW. With a longer term goal to expand that four-fold in the future.

Does anyone know exactly what this will be used for? Does the government? Do Minns or Albanese know? What will life look like when we have all that AI lurking around? The investment might be nice, but what will it cost us?

'Alive With Ghosts Today' Chris Potter - ABC Jazz

'Alive With Ghosts Today' is the brand-new release from American saxophonist and composer Chris Potter, and it's a concept album that explores the history of the controversial abolitionist John Brown and his raid at Harper's Ferry in 1859.

This week's feature album for ABC Jazz in Australia. Not bad.

The census and motorcycles

Did anyone notice that the census last night excluded motorcycles? If you ride a motorcycle, and it's your primary transport, the ABS doesn't know or care about you.

My son is in exactly this position, he doesn't have a car licence. His bike is all he has. I own a car as well, but I try and ride as often as I can.

We've been told many times, the census is important because it helps to plan for services and infrastructure. Does this mean, there's no planning or allowance for motorcycles? How do people feel about that?

Fireworks tonight?

I can't see anything, but is there some big fireworks display in the North West, right now?

Yeah or nah?

I found this cleaning the floors today. Beautiful markings. She's about 3-4cm maybe, I wasn't going to muck about with a banana. Either way, she's out in the garden, but what did I find?
