I want to redo the /garden page.
Something that might work well is to do a seasonal post which is basically a blog post and photos of all the different things I'm growing.
I'm thinking I do updates at the start of October, January, April and July.
Hi, I'm Harrison. I currently work at me&u as a software engineer. I enjoy golfing, gaming, tending to my veggie garden and playing with my dog Boots.

If this works it's very cool.
There wasn't a lot of huge news from the Apple event. Pretty basic spec bumps to the iPhone.
Their product lines continue to get more complicated though.
This is awesome for musicians. There's probably already a tonne of apps that can do this but Voice Memos is so beautifully simple.
My tips for this week after a horrible performance last week:
Port Adelaide vs Hawthorn
The head and heart says Hawthorn here but surely Port put up a better performance than last week. Ken Hinkley's job is probably on the line.
Prediction: Port by 10
GWS vs Brisbane
Whilst Brisbane dominated the first half last week they were back to their flaky best in the second half. GWS looked very good in their loss.
Prediction: GWS by 20
This is exactly the kind of tool I've been looking for when testing out preview links to the blog.
A fun little colour based experiment.
I'm currently trying to decide what colour and style suit I'm going to wear when I get married. These are some of the options for now.
Not only was my golf game poor this weekend I was also the kiss of death when it comes to footy tips. 0/4 is bad. The quality of the games (except for 1) was also poor.
It's back to the drawing board deciding who to bandwagon support in the finals now. I like the Giants and Brisbane. I don't really like anyone else.
Another Crab's Treasure is a bad game of the Switch. The game could be good from a mechanics perspective but the performance and lag for me made the game unplayable. I should have read this Reddit post earlier.
For now I'm going to restart a new farm in Stardew Valley to kill time until Echoes of Wisdom comes out.
I had a bit of a shocker of a round yesterday.
It was the monthly medal competition so the course was playing as hard as it can from a distance and pin position perspective.
I could not hit driver straight which basically put me in bad positions on most holes.
I could also not buy a putt.
Some thoughts:
This game seems like a straight up clone of Stardew Valley but I'm here for it!
Currently in early access and only available on PC via Steam but hoping when the 1.0 release comes out it's also on the Switch. Surely that would be the case especially if the Switch 2 is out.
Port Adelaide vs Geelong
I get the feeling Port could beat the Cats by a lot here. I just don't rate Geelong that highly. Jezza will need to have a big one for the Cats to get close.
Prediction: Port by 30
Western Bulldogs vs Hawthorn
This is the game of the round and I'm so hyped for it. We'll be watching from a pub. I rate the Dogs and I hope they win this. I think Hawthorn will be the classic case of need a loss in a final to improve. They will eventually be a great team.
Prediction: Dogs by 6
Sydney vs GWS
Not sure on this one. Which Sydney shows up? Will they show up for a first quarter? Is Grundy going to play like he was at the start of the year? It could be a boil over.
Prediction: GWS by 15
Brisbane vs Carlton
Also no idea here. Carlton are getting a lot of players back but they're underdone. Brisbane can't kick straight. Don't write the Blues off.
Prediction: Carlton by 8
I finally got to an AFL game last weekend in Ballarat.
Both GWS and the Western Bulldogs are two excellent football teams and they'll likely go deep in the finals. It was my second time at Mars Stadium and this time it was much warmer which made the whole experience a lot more comfortable.
The rest of the round saw Carlton and Fremantle lose. The Fremantle loss meant Carlton scraped into finals which was probably deserved.
The top 8 being locked in means I can reflect on my predictions from back in March:
I only got 4 finalists correct which is a pretty bad strike rate.
This year was so damn up and down. It was a weird one.
Based on this weekend it seems like it'll be another Liverpool, Arsenal, Manchester City title race. They're a class above.
This is one of my most hyped games ever. It just looks perfect.
The dungeons and the puzzles within them are what I'm most curious about still.
Port Adelaide great Kane Cornes will join Seven’s AFL coverage in 2025.
He is a shock jock but some of the things he says are bang on.
It will hopefully bring a bit of change to what's become a bland coverage for the most part.
Hyped for this. I've been listening to more Oasis in the last 6 months or so. If they were coming to Australia I'd seriously consider getting a ticket but they're probably in excess of $500.
This is a cool little app for watching YouTube videos on iPhone.
I did a post the other day about my twenties well here's another more lighthearted post about my teenage years.
2006 (13)
So much changed this year. I started at a new school. I went to Europe twice (once on a 6 week athletics tour). There was a lot of changes and things happening.
2007 (14)
I was the "cheeky" trying to be cool kid in year 8. I think I tried to learn how to skate on this holiday in Inverloch. The long hair was a vibe though.
2008 (15)
In year 9 we had a learning journeys program where we all had to pick something to "learn". My "learning" was a bit of a cop out and I did footy umpiring coaching. Pictured is me doing fake "coaching" to my student umpire Jake.
2009 (16)
At the end of 2009 we went to the USA for the first time. This is me at TD Garden in Boston.
2010 (17)
The highlight of this year was going to China on a study tour. I probably shouldn't have been learning Chinese still because it was such a hard subject but I really enjoyed my classmates and wanted to go on this trip.
2011 (18)
I finished high school. I got a decent ATAR and was able to go to Melbourne University. I was proud of that. We went on a family holiday at the end of the year to Kingscliff.
2012 (19)
First year university involved a lot of parties and going out. I played footy in the U19s which I enjoyed a lot. I also clearly had really bad skin.
