It has been a very busy first-month of 2021! To earn a few dollars I wash windows around Kangaroo Island - and I haven't stopped since the year began! Some locations require a 30-45 minute drive - because some clients reside in remote locations around Kangaroo Island. You Saw My First Healthy Smoothie? I now... Continue Reading →
Review: Thousand Heritage Helmet (Carbon Black)
I wrote this simple review to put on the Ben Buckler website. It's regarding my Xmas present to myself - the Carbon Black Thousand-series Helmet . But not knowing when it would appear on their site, I am publishing it here also. After reading many reviews on the thousand series, I went with this heritage... Continue Reading →
How I make a Healthy Xmas Smoothie
I bought a blender for Xmas. Not for anyone else. I wanted it - to eat healthier breakfasts and lunches. I am now eating far better because of what I can do with it. Prior to purchase, I would have bland cereal and diluted cows milk followed by a rough-as-guts branded coffee. But now, oh... Continue Reading →
Searching for Radio Gear – Headphones and Microphones
I have had a few Lavalier microphones over the last two years, but they haven't handled the rugged conditions I put them through. Living on Kangaroo Island means I have to contain my gear safely to handle rough weather, extreme hot or cold conditions, plus my children getting hold of them. So now I am... Continue Reading →
Is Vlogging a Real Job?
I shot, produced, and uploaded this video where I share a story from 2017. It revolves around my initial move to Kangaroo Island and a memorable encounter with a group of random women who yelled at me for vlogging on a public beach. This video offers an odd narrative, shedding light on the challenges vloggers... Continue Reading →
2020, You’re Fired! 2021, Can you Start Tomorrow?
I made a SILLY mistake: I cancelled my radio show earlier tonight because of this voice message I received in the middle of the second song. PLEASE NOTE #1: This is an AMENDED transcription of an English voice who translated a Spanish voice message. The rest has been deleted as it has been proven to... Continue Reading →
No Funny Side to War
Whilst there is nothing funny about war, some of the best cartoon-art has been created to say so much about the sh1t that's happening in Ukraine now. I unfortunately can't give credit to any of the original artists of these images. They are welcome to let me know. But Putin can go f.... well, you... Continue Reading →
We Walked his Ender Dragon to the Farmers Market for Lunch!
Our 7yo son Jai wanted to take his imaginary Ender Dragon for a walk. I saw no harm. We took him to the Kingscote Farmers Market, held at the Bay of Shoals Vineyards. Jai had a blast. Fairly sure the Ender Dragon had fun too! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XdiAfOp6kCU Big News: We are moving house within the next... Continue Reading →
Being a Dad and an Entrepreneur is a Difficult Combination
OK, this is a long article. It combines a few train-rides of hand-written notes all combined together. Take today: Upon arriving home I had to chase, with hobbled knee, to catch my 4yo boy running down the street. Wow. My hydrotherapy was wasted. Sarah needed to go out (to help her 96yo grandmother). So I... Continue Reading →
Life Lessons from Exploring the World Online
I don't know what schools teach regarding world wide geography. I do not recall being taught when I was a kid about the rest of the world. We just accepted that we lived in Australia and a lot of other people did not. But now that we have Google Maps and Google Earth plus the... Continue Reading →
Go Where You Wanna Go, Be Who You Wanna Be
When I was a kid we weren't taught much about the rest of this world. We just accepted that we lived in Australia and a lot of other people did not. So now that we have Google Maps and Google Earth, plus the internet at our fingertips wherever we go, the world is in our... Continue Reading →
