Observations on Being a Weekend Father, Creating New Memories and Figuring Life Out
I bought a blender for Xmas. Not for anyone else. I wanted it - to eat healthier breakfasts and lunches. I am now eating far better because of what I can do with it.

She must have been asleep and trapped in there when I went out shopping for a blender and came home... Continue Reading →
Yet again I am looking at Headphones! Why? During a 5KIxFM90.7 committee meeting earlier this week, we determined I am the ONLY radio presenter without personal headphones.

I built this message out of necessity to make my kids realize that this message is a... Continue Reading →
There's no denying that I love wearing baseball caps in Summer. But I also like a nice warm beanie in winter, particularly when I am on my Super 73-ZG. I have a few black beanies, but I don't look good in black at all. So I want one that looks cool AND keep me warm... Continue Reading →
I have had a few Lavalier microphones over the last two years, but they haven't handled the rugged conditions I put them through. Living on Kangaroo Island means I have to contain my gear safely to handle rough weather, extreme hot or cold conditions, plus my children getting hold of them. So now I am... Continue Reading →
The Circle is the glue that holds the team or the family together ... The main purpose of the zigzag is the generation of new ideas and methods, and not their actual realization.
Buying a card for your friend, spouse, child and/or boss is difficult. So I have put together a small selection of cards you should buy in bulk so you are prepared for any crisis. 1.
