Writing About My Life, Work, Creativity, and the Daily Effort to Learn, Grow, and Live Better.
A few days ago I said I was going to get the Canon 3-pack of extension tubes. Yesterday I rang TED's, PW's, Camera.House and Diamonds to get prices. To make it more fun, I also asked for the price of a Canon EF 1.4x II Extender. Diamonds were the only one to tell me they... Continue Reading →
I was addicted to Cola (in each branded variety) for well over twenty years. When I was a teenager, fizzy drinks were not as accessible as they are now, it was only found at parties and events, so the taste was discovered! Now I am more aware of the impact of carbonated drinks on the... Continue Reading →
There's many ways to stop or cure boredom. These are the online methods: 1. Online Social Networking As many of us have the internet either at home or at work, we can socialise with people around the world. From Australia to Zambia, from Los Angles to Melbourne, everyone can interact easily and quickly. Today you'll... Continue Reading →
I need to find time to see a few good movies. After a discussion about "Being John Malkovich" with a work colleague (after she saw me reaching into the back of the stationery-cupboard), I was sent an email with a list of further movies I should watch.

I don't upload as much as the average blogger. Maybe it's because I have kept... Continue Reading →
Honesty seems to be the ... honest thing to do. Yet honesty is a bit like that wacky neighbor who always shows up uninvited but somehow manages to make every party a little more interesting. Take Cheers, for example. Remember Cliff Clavin? That guy had a fact for every occasion. He couldn't help himself, and... Continue Reading →

DPReview began in 1998 as hobby site, growing steadily to become the number one destination for everyone learning about digital cameras & photography. With seven million unique visitors (over 22 million sessions) every month, reading over 120 million pages, it's... Continue Reading →
I sent a stern email to the Adelaide City Lord Mayor Michael Harbison this evening. Quit Smoking to Save Just One Life - Yours. Being an ardent anti-smoker, and a photographer of all things that "get on my bloody nerves", I took the time to compile a message that not only asked for a solution, but... Continue Reading →
