When I was about eight-years-old, I got hit by a car coming around a bus. Admittedly I stupidly jumped off at a bus-stop, ran to the back of the bus, turned and ran across the road behind the bus.

How to Make Money from a Liquidation
Most Australians would know by now that BORDERS are in liquidation. As an avid book reader, I am dismayed by this, yet am thankful we have other great book suppliers in Adelaide.

This might seem odd to some people, but our inner city is only 1mile squared and mostly a ghost town around the edges. Aha, you can walk down lanes and alleys without anyone bothering you -...

On a regular basis I take long photo-walks alone in the Adelaide CBD. These often involve a walk around Elder Park and onto the Rotunda. Here are two of the photographs I shot in mid 2010.
My Top 10 Delicious Tags

My reason for using delicious has been because it enables me to quickly book-mark (CTRL+D in Mozilla Firefox) the many links that I find either informational or educational, plus the few that I use consistently.
