Observations on Being a Weekend Father, Creating New Memories and Figuring Life Out
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. It's our action and in-actions that effect the outcome. This is never more obvious on the train to... Continue Reading →
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...

Earlier today I cringed through the first 3 episodes of Photo Finish. The show had some interesting points, but I was openly dismayed with how little pre-information was given to each participant prior to each photo-shoot. To make up for that horrific experience, I then watched the very funny yet inspirational (and, dare I say... Continue Reading →
Quietly amused. Phil Keneen posted this quirky photograph on his blog - and now it is showing on the WordPress home page as an image and post of interest: About 2 months ago I shot a similar image, and without any knowledge of his or anyone else composing such a strange image. Here is my... Continue Reading →
Yes, the baby is still sitting pretty inside my wife's tummy! Since we chose not to know if our soon-to-be-born baby is going to male or female, here are photographs in the two colours that society deems to be most associated with both genders. Yeah, just an excuse to post an array of random photographs... Continue Reading →
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 →
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 →
I've often contemplated ways that my blog could make money. But in the end I went with 'rant about the online universe', 'random link' and 'hey check out my photography' style. Now that I have read this interesting article, I am thinking again about how I might make money from binary words. The Dark Side... Continue Reading →
There is a definite possibility that I am a little weird. Maybe even strange, nuts and crazy. But not so much that anyone would seriously notice. Unless they have seen the self-portraits I have photographed this month: I am not sorry to say that there WILL be a few more, but enough to last... Continue Reading →
Extract... It's official: Australia is the second easiest place in the world to start a business, according to the World Bank. Aside from the ease of starting and the healthy numbers of people who run businesses in Australia, there are several impressive Government run programs aimed at helping start-ups, ranging from the likes of Innovation Australia to schemes...

This morning, while catching the train to work, I found myself reading an article discussing Jack Welch's leadership legacy. Funny how life occasionally hands you a practical example of whatever you're reading. Behind me sat a bloke on his phone. I only heard his side of the conversation, but that was enough. "I don't have... Continue Reading →
