I have been blogging, on and off, since about 2000! I have been using WordPress since October 2006. Prior to that was Blogger/Blogspot. Prior to that: Geocities, Tripod ... yeah, all the free services. But 2013 has been busy for me, spending most of my spare time being a doting father to our gorgeous son.... Continue Reading →
Don’t Stop The Future: Blok IT!
I have a shed loaded with electronic waste that goes back 20 years. I have motherboards, sound cards, old cellular phones, cabling, stenographer tape decks and much more. Somewhere in there I have a 3GB box that is twice the size of a standard shoe box - I use it as a paper weight and... Continue Reading →
Upward View of the Adelaide CBD Horizon
I have found a PDF that makes good reading for Adelaide residents who have penchant for knowledge that includes facts, figures and fees. I have gone through it with a fine tooth comb: Below I have listed the pages and Fee-ID's that might be of interest to the photographers of our great and ever-growing inner-city. Page 20,...

Capturing Architectural History through Photography
Much earlier this evening, as I was traversing the Adelaide CBD seeking a bus to escape the ropes of employment, I spotted the remains of a non-heritage building.

Using Pain to Focus on What Matters
A recent Facebook message got me dreaming about life without a job. It wasn't a pretty picture. I didn't like it one bit. That dream, even through the vertigo haze, reminded me that I still have the power to think, reason, create, and succeed. I also have the fortitude to tackle things most people would...

Why is There Such a Lack of Civil Communication?
This was written on my Apple Touch in 2009. Tonight whilst clearing out data I happened upon it again. I've decided to publish as is. Your responses are welcomed on any part of what I have said.

Little Boy with Little Hands
Our little man, "Litte Jai", is growing up fast! His cute little hands are big for his age-range, his fingers strong and firm. Each day I am amazed at how he is progressing. He tries so hard to support his own neck, pushing upwards when I hold him against my shoulder for burping. According to... Continue Reading →
