I am doing stuff - promise

On the off chance that there are people checking this blog for updates, smashing their fists upon the keys at my lack of output, I wish to advise the following:

I am writing with some regularity over at the Republic of Moreland - a blog with some buddies about our patch of the world (Brunswick and Coburg in Melbourne's inner north). Read things there! You can also contribute if you like, that's be grand.

I am also one half of the brand-spanking-new Level 30 podcast, where my lifelong friend Justin and I rebel against our third decade by talking endlessly about our nerdy pursuits. Our first episode heard us eviscerating Man of Steel. I predict a more positive followup. It also has the nice byproduct of, when you search "Stefan Delatovic" in the iTunes store, something actually comes up. That, alongside me recently having a tweet broadcast on Q&A, means I can die a happy left wing digi-nerd.

I also create word things in my day job with Victoria SES - mainly flood warnings. Those are the most important things I do. Never enter floodwater you guys - if you don't drown you'll still have taken a bath in turds.

(Seriously, I know no-one comes here for emergency information, but did you know most people who die in Australian floods do so because they go in the floodwater voluntarily? With adults, it's 'cause they drive in. With kids, it's 'cause they play in the stuff. Just awful. Give it a miss. Also, have you ever smelled a flood? MegaGross. Imagine that every flood you see has travelled through animal-crap-laden paddocks and old sheds full of chemicals and you, my friend, will have imagined a little thing called reality.)
