Today I have returned from a fun four days on Kangaroo Island. I hadn't planned nor even wanted to go - due to a fairly bad case of the flu. But despite the insistent cough, my wife and I stayed with her parents for four days. The first day was non-eventful as we didn't get... Continue Reading →
Ready to Surf the NEXT Google Wave?
Personally, I don't think Google Wave is going to revolutionise the world. Sure, Microsoft did manage to manipulate and monopolise the market 30-something years ago, but I don't see Google doing that here. With 100,000 invitations criss-crossing the planet, maybe a further 900,000 humans will find a way to either catch a ride or jump... Continue Reading →
20 Reminders to Live, Love and Do More
In 1993 I bought a little book entitled "Just Do It" that includes a heap of inspirational and quotable gems. I still read it in 2009 because, heck, we all need a little inspiration from time to time. I love quotes that both remind me that I am only human, plus those that give me... Continue Reading →
Short Walk in the Forest
Last weekend I went for a walk to the bottom of the valley. I didn't have any agenda, nor any destination, but I did want some exercise and a day to simply freshen up my mind and spirit. Well, I succeeded. I am so glad I live a beautiful part of the world. Here are... Continue Reading →
Design Is…

Now I make new graphics for the DESIGNIS meme when a little bored. Plus it helps show far my graphic-editing/creation skills have progressed. Views: 400 and growing fast! Views: 357 and...

Architectural Advancement
Adelaide is a'changing. The architecture has progressed from sandstone and gargoyles to concrete and glass. Here is the progression of just one building here in Adelaide. Watch how it changed from a large shed that housed the Trams into a large glass box.
Aero-Toys
My father makes model aeroplanes. He made the first flying Snoopy DogHouse back in the mid 1980's. Dad also made a flying Super Man (where one of my brothers was used to get the shape right!) that was basically 2'-thick foam with 3 wheels for landing and a propeller at the pointy end. To fly,...

Eight panorama photographs from today's walk in the Adelaide hills. Be sure to view them upon my flickr gallery and leave comments on them. Your opinion appreciated. All photographs stitched together with AutoStitch.
Afternoon in the Park
Four of my many interesting photographs shot on Sunday afternoon at the Wittunga Botanic Gardens. As you can see, I like the 'macro abstract' shots! Plus one extra showing a panorama of the lake:
Six Favourite Songs of Michael Jackson
Love him or hate him, Michael Jackson wrote and produced some of the most memorable songs in the world. Neither you or I have the full story on why he made some choices, so there is no way we can make a derogatory nor defamatory judgement about his lifestyle. After U2 and the Beatles, Michael...

8 Good Reasons to Work Alone
At some point in our lives, we endure working in a cubicle environment. It's during this time that we discover why working as a solo proprietor is the popular choice for many people who purchase and run small-businesses. Here are eight reasons I have observed from many years working between fibrecore petitions. Noise: Why do... Continue Reading →
Quality Reading to Inspire Everyone
For a few years I have been reading posts by Chris Pearson over at Pearsonified. His site-design is less cluttered than many, thus making his articles easy to follow and read. Chris posts are always informative and teach old-tricks in new ways and in a different light. This may sound like what every one is... Continue Reading →
