When your boss hails your name from across the room, what is your normal reaction? The premise for this question is from an incident I had the good fortune to resolve. It happened in a TANDY store about three years ago, though I do not recollect what my original purpose nor purchase was meant to... Continue Reading →
How to Invite Lurkers to Comment
My blog statistics may slowly increase month to month, but it's more interesting to read and respond to your comments. Yet these happen less often than expected. So I offer those people who lurk upon my site a great opportunity: Leave a comment today! Tell everyone about yourself. You've surely read about me by now,... Continue Reading →
Canon EOS 7D
Have you seen this very new Canon camera? It looks impressive! The Canon EOS 7D. With a 18megapixel CMOS sensor, up to 12800 ISO and a 19-focal-point sensor, this camera looks mighty impressive. The only flaw? Well, just for the body alone you'll pay around AU$2,500. With the kit lens (EF 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS), you'll... Continue Reading →
One Step to Improve Your Health
I fail to understand some humans: For some strange reason many feel a need to inhale nicotine-laced fumes through cylindrical paper. Yeah, I have mentioned this before, yet it continues to be a subject that intrigues me. Whilst I have managed to get myself quite sick through no fault of my own, smokers continue to...

I am about 600 pages along, and its story is still fascinating! It tells the journey's of four family's who each pioneer and contribute to all the... Continue Reading →

Today my wife and I procured our nieces from their parents, so they could enjoy a night out without the "rug rats" in tow. Without much argument, the kids agreed with our decision to take them to the Warrawong Wildlife Sanctuary. Because I had not been there in almost 20 years, I turned it into... Continue Reading →
Ramblings #1
Herein lies a list of ramblings that started last Monday. Don't begin to think there is a story here. It's just a whole lot of statements that I considered putting on either my Twitter or Plurk account ... and a few did, so will be linked accordingly! Watch out for the personal-quotes, created from incidents... Continue Reading →
Getting Discounts on Your Photo Equipment
As a consequence of the great customer service I received today, I now only shop at ONE retail-outlet for ALL my photographic equipment! Adelaide photographers are the most unlucky when it comes to photographic-retail outlets. Our options are limited. There are very few retail outlets within the Adelaide CBD, nor in the suburbs! And then... Continue Reading →
Ready to Surf the NEXT Google Wave?
Personally, I don't think Google Wave is going to revolutionise the world. Sure, Microsoft did manage to manipulate and monopolise the market 30-something years ago, but I don't see Google doing that here. With 100,000 invitations criss-crossing the planet, maybe a further 900,000 humans will find a way to either catch a ride or jump... Continue Reading →
