To understand where this article began, please read 'City of Blinding Lights (Part 1)' Back in my mid-20's I started looking at property as a viable money maker.

When did you get your first Mobile Phone?
It's amazing how short a time we have had mobile phones, and how much we now take them for granted! In what year did you get your first mobile phone? Mine was in 1992, and before that I remember being the shoulder for the pack for an Architect's phone in the late 1980's. That was... Continue Reading →
Getting a Response from your SocNet
In Chris Garrett's latest article, he asks: Do you deserve your social media followers? Here is my response: This seems to be the way of the current state of the WWW.

The Bakkabakkandi Grandstand
Adelaide residents (should) know the bakkabakkandi grandstand , situated on the eastern side of the old race-course upon Victoria Park, Adelaide CBD.

I can guarantee you that I shot probably 100x as many!... Continue Reading →

I've met Lee, I know he is passionate about this subject, and I know he means alll that he says, and it is interesting to see him gesticulating from the grassy side-walks in North Adelaide.

The Difference Between Facebook, Plurk and Twitter
Originally written as a response to Ben Barden's article entitled "10 Sites I No Longer Use, and why I Stopped Using Them" [c.

I Hate Umbrellas
I hate umbrellas. Yeah, it's a weird thing to hate, yet it's with good reason. Umbrellas seem to be my one and only true enemy.
