Observations on Being a Weekend Father, Creating New Memories and Figuring Life Out
Before we moved to Kangaroo Island, I spent my nine-to-five week day working in a State Government Department office for nineteen years of my younger life! During my lunch breaks, and sometimes before and after work, I walked around the Adelaide city, capturing photographs of the old and new architecture. I really wanted to preserve...

In late 2016, our family embarked on an incredible journey to Kangaroo Island. For my wife, it was a homecoming, a return to her roots, plus to manage her honey business. For me, it was nothing short of a thrilling, grand adventure. Not only was I able to start a small successful business, I realised... Continue Reading →
Many of our core values and morals are not just shaped by traditional sources like family and education; they often find their roots in the movies we adore. Films have a unique way of delivering impactful messages that resonate with us, shaping our perspectives, influencing our decisions, and even altering our outlook on life. These... Continue Reading →
I am following Mark's suggestion: Culling old posts. This might take a while. Thankfully not enough comments on any of them to worry about loss of readers. Since you are here to read something, I like lounges. Good quality fancy yet comfortable lounges. Somewhere where I can take my smartphone, tablet and laptop, chill back... Continue Reading →
I have never said to anyone … "I can't do that." Rather, I have said to myself … "I have to find a way that I can do that.", and said to others "Let me find a better way.", and another option is "Let's do something different to what's been done before." Why do I... Continue Reading →
In the last week of 2007 my dutiful wife handed me a short, straightforward to-do list prior to Christmas day. Of the multitude of things, she had highlighted the one thing I hesitate to go near → my BBQ! The neglected grill hadn't seen the light of day or had a proper cleaning since Sarah...

In my last post I showed cartoons and manipulated photographs in response to the current atrocities happening in the Ukraine. In an attempt to locate the original of these cartoons, I resorted to TinEye.com . This revealed that most of the photographs originate from Russian websites that have been turned off, at least for now.... Continue Reading →
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 →
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 →
Sometimes I create content which is a little obscure. This short video is about a mini-tripod that has been my favorite vlogging tool for about 2 years. It died earlier this week. Weirdly it was only a few hours after a friend told me about the SMOVE Smartphone Stablizer - which is basically a gimbal.... Continue Reading →
Picture this: A world where your groceries are carried in bags so sophisticated they could probably schedule your next shopping trip, and pizza boxes so meticulously designed, they make your slice feel like it's on vacation in Italy. Now, you might be thinking, "Is this some kind of sci-fi food fantasy?" Well, not exactly. Welcome... Continue Reading →
I have been blogging with WordPress since 2006. That's 7 years now! Whilst some might wait until the tenth year to do what is about to follow, I don't follow standards nor rules, I generally blog about the last thing on my mind ... which might explain why 2013 has so far seen less than...
