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 →
CSS Snippets + Sites of Interest
I wrote similar posts to this one a few years ago, but two new loves have stolen my night and online life: Children. Our first little-man was 2.75 years ago, our most recent lad was born on March 2nd 2015. Aha, just 3 days ago. He is still in hospital with mum as she recovers from her belly-slashing. I have only...

Using Twitter to Get Camera Recommendations
Hard to believe it, I have had a Twitter account since mid 2008. For a long time it was just something I looked at from time to time, not understanding how anyone could cross-converse in such a hectic and vibrant community. It looked (and sometimes still does) like a bazillion monkeys chattering over the top... Continue Reading →
Because I Needed One Post in 2013 About Christmas
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...

Follow the links on each photograph to see them full size upon my Flickr Photo Gallery. Aha, my lovely wife made this for me on... Continue Reading →
Supporting Services for my Son’s Surgery
By way of thanking all the services involved in the recovery of my son over the last five days, you'll read what has transpired: Massive appreciation for the following services over the last 5 days: The Kingscote Hospital and nurses who were open, available and willing to help at 5AM last Thursday after Jai vomited...

The Intangible Benefit of Giving
In my last post I said I would write a poem each night throughout April. Turns out I write best when the incident or reason is recent and raw. So when the following happened last night, I wrote out the details during the train-ride home. Tonight, rather than poetry, I am writing a short story.... Continue Reading →
Lunch with Mentors = Motivation and Money
Amazing writer Mellissah Smith wrote this post all the way back in 2012 that talks about a book entitled Never Eat Alone , and says so much that I wholeheartedly agree with! Her best line from the article is... "A lunch date with someone can change your outcomes." I also find that lunch with friends... Continue Reading →
