Wow. The most impressive person on this planet (according to me) passed away today. I had to check my small library to make sure: I still have his book. "A Brief History of Time". Which I imagine will be on his grave stone. May his theories, writing and memory never be forgotten.
How Many People Have To Tell America?
#America, you can continue to infuriate and amaze the rest of the planet. You need to reduce gun accessibility. Licenses must be much harder to attain. Yes, Australia has had horrific gun massacres - we fixed the problem
Surviving the Sad Times
Over the last 35 years there have been people whom I have had only one opportunity to meet. Why only once? Because they made life-altering choices that no one saw coming, or nobody fully realised how severe that person's state-of-mind had become. Last month I rested my hand on the shoulder of two female friends... Continue Reading →
Casey, Your Knees Will Not Stop You!
I feel for Casey Neistat, I actually do. According to his latest video: His left knee creaks when he kneels. Presumably it is more noticeable when he runs. So he is concerned that he may never be able to run again. I gave up running about 2 years ago, at least for long distances, because... Continue Reading →
Reach Out to Grab Opportunities
https://youtu.be/Wg_wIH3uvZE What I like most about this video is what you can see happening in the last metre: ~ First and 2nd place slow down, presumably thinking they're so close to their goal that they can casually jog through. Yes, they're still going pretty damn fast, but just watch their movements, you'll notice they are... Continue Reading →
WANT the Canon EF 24-70mm f4 USM
Way back in 2012 I was saying I wanted this lens - the Canon EF 24-70mm f2.8 L II USM. Five years on, I now need the lens. I should have purchased it when I could afford it! Whilst I have many decent lenses, the 24-70mm would and could easily replace them all. With my... Continue Reading →
Capturing the Most Ferocious Animals in Australia
For the last four years, pretty much since my first son was born, we've visited Cleland Wildlife Park every Saturday morning. Whilst it's been for the benefit our boys to (1) tire them out for a good night's sleep that night so my wife and I can have a peaceful evening, plus (2) to show... Continue Reading →
We Have Moved to Kangaroo Island
This time last year we made a BIG decision: To move our family to Kangaroo Island. Explaining the benefits to each of our families actually didn't take a lot, but there are a few who have not yet been there. Yesterday morning I videoed some of my morning walk. Because of the tranquillity of Kingscote,... Continue Reading →
Radical Change Won’t Happen Overnight
This message is circulating the internet, particularly Facebook. First read it through, then answer this: Is it at all feasible? Do you really think anyone in Parliament house is going to say "Oh that makes sense, let's make radical changes overnight!" Proposals to make politicians shoulder their share of the weight now that the Age... Continue Reading →
4 Years Later…
This was originally written as a comment to If You Never Hear From Me Again by David Simmer II . But once I got started, it turned into the last short story about our blue insignificant planet. 4 Years Later... Planet Earth is nearly barren, one very large dust-bowl. The only nuclear warheads not destroyed... Continue Reading →
Ten Years on WordPress
I celebrated 10 years of blogging within the last few weeks. I'd planned to publish this on the actual day, but hey, kids. Yet the date is not accurate. I started blogging towards the end of the last millennia. I had discovered the art of blog via Samela Harris, a local journalist, in the Adelaide... Continue Reading →
I am now a Youtubing Vlogger
A Youtubing Vlogger. Does that sound right? Should it be a Vlogger who Youtubes? Anyhow, it's heaps of fun. It's early days yet, I am getting the hang of it all. I use Movavi for editing all the interesting moments in my life. Most recently I took the perfect opportunity to video my friends and... Continue Reading →
