Strange But True: Tech, Art & Ideas That’ll Actually Help

I live in a shed out the back of Mum’s place
A tin roof shelter for my technical space
No neon sign, no office lease
Just a P.C. hum and a bit of peace

Ryzen nine’s purring, the kettle’s on
Kookaburra laughs at the crack of dawn
From Amity sand to the Point Lookout view
Finding a fix that is honest and true

Sunday markets when the tourists land,
Tablecloth straight, printed banners look grand
Strange but True: Tech, Art and Ideas
Helping you navigate your digital fears

Someone says, Mate, my phone’s gone mad
Another says, damn passwords make me sad
We sit, we laugh, we take it slow
It’s easier than they thought, ya know

It’s Strange but True, come have a look
No trick questions, no textbook
I won’t fix you, I’ll sit with you
And find a way that works to

Strange but True no big debut
Just bits and pieces that help you through
No hard sell and no grand plan
Just doing the best I bloomin' can

I’ve done the rounds of build me a site
Eons later he says it’s still not quite right
Can we just tweak it some more? yeah, no thanks
That rabbit hole damn-well empties my tanks

So now it’s simple, clear and fair
I’ll show you how, but I won’t live there
I’ll help you start, I’ll point you through
Then off you go that job’s on you

Fishing club meetings, bowls club calls
Mic on the table, cameras on the walls
Let’s just record it save some time
No more guessing what’s between the lines

From NAIDOC nights to cinema screens
Point Lookout Hall glowing in projection beams
One car load or a trailer full
Depends how far we want to pull

It’s Strange but True come have a look
No fine print hiding in a book
Just honest help and a bit of care
And maybe a yarn while you’re sitting there

Strange but True under island skies
From broken phones to bigger whys
No rush to win, no need to prove
Just finding a rhythm so we can move

A few small jobs and a couple of calls
A quiet kind of business that fills the stalls
No empire dreams, no flashy spin
Just building something that feels like a win

Got V.R. goggles if you want a peek
Future’s knocking but I’ll keep it meek
Bit of A.I. mixed with some light and sound
Simplicity turns confusion around

From Straddie out to the island chain
Same local stories, same tech pain
Same small wins when things click through
That’s the work… Strange but True

Strange but True, come have a look
Not everything needs a polished hook
Sometimes a fix is just a chat
And a bit of time, imagine that

Strange but True, I’ll be around
In the market shade or festival ground
No big arrival, no grand debut
Just turning up… Strange but True
