On Remembering and Creating Memories, Figuring Life Out Again as a Single Bloke, and Being a Weekend Dad
Since around 1996, I've accumulated a rather varied collection of hobbies and interests. Some have grown into small businesses, some have stayed hobbies, and others have quietly fallen by the wayside. Most of them come from the same source: I'm a creative type, and my brain is nearly always in high gear. I'm forever thinking... Continue Reading →
The spark is finally back: My vlogging journey has been reinvigorated, lit by transformation and creative fire. Why/How? My personal life has recently shifted in unexpected ways, and the the world around us has had some massive upheavals. Consequently I refocused my blogging mid 2025 to write about those subjects. Yet I’ve wanted to return... Continue Reading →
Yes, it's been a few weeks since I last shared anything with you, yet this post is going to rock your socks off! I've recently made a large purchase to improve my videography, and I reckon you will all love the reason behind it. Casey Neistat just dropped a vlog about the evolution of his... Continue Reading →
Sigh, this needs to be written, if only for myself. Because - there's no denying it - I’ve got too many projects on the go, and not a single one is getting finished. A good friend reckons it’s my way of coping, that I’m hooked on the rush of creating rather than completing. And you... Continue Reading →

I found a new Hobby: Way back in February I purchased a Tamiya TT-02B 4WD RC Buggy from an Australian distributer . Price was decent, but I learnt a helluva lot within minutes of buying it: I needed to buy the servo, transmitter, battery and hand-controller all seperate. I squirrelled away money for a month...

As an owner of several brands and models of cameras, I always enjoy testing them. I was gifted a compact camera recently after my wife managed to lose her compact mini Canon camera - and have since been gobsmacked at what I actually got: A FinePix XP130 camera. It's said to be waterproof up to... Continue Reading →
After witnessing Mr Beast in conversation with Colin and Samir, I composed this article which delves into various aspects of his life. Mr Beast openly talks about his romantic relationships, the challenges he faces while managing his multi-million-dollar enterprise, and his approach to fitness, performance anxiety, stress, innovation, storytelling techniques, work-life balance, and creativity. Amidst... Continue Reading →
I purchased a RODE microphone for vlogging with my Canon EOS-M based on this blog article; It's still going, but it can be temperamental. I also purchased a lapel mic' – but it has since died. So I compiled a NEW list of possibilities: 1. The PowerDeWise Grade Lavalier Lapel has one thing different from... Continue Reading →
Every time I get a new device I test it rigorously before considering buying any new accessories. After two days of shooting with a Fuji FinePix XP130, I am ready to buy a charging/download cable, three spare batteries, two 64GB memory cards, and a small carry bag. Love to build a handgrip similar to GoPro... Continue Reading →
Yet again I am looking at Headphones! Why? During a 5KIxFM90.7 committee meeting earlier this week, we determined I am the ONLY radio presenter without personal headphones. The station has two sets in-station for guests, but because of Covid-19 every presenter is required to have their own. A few months back I first posted about... Continue Reading →
First you read about and saw photographs of them all; Now see the video about all the sunglasses I have for sale. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_AcaILPqYY Did you watch till the end? Did I look good or did I look good in those funky sunnies? That took me 1 hour to script, 2 hours to shoot, 3 days... Continue Reading →
