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…
These are STILL the most popular images upon my Flickr Gallery! This all started in September 2006 when I made half-a-dozen images with IRFANVIEW. 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,...

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...

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 →
Fanplastic
Earlier tonight I had the good chance to catch the last half hour of this televised program on ABC1 - "Addicted to Plastic". It advertised a few interesting locations around the world that are helping to reduce the landfill of plastic upon this planet. Rather than preaching to you about how important this subject is...

Who Purchased this Calendar?
I just wish Redbubble buyers would leave messages when they buy something … because I have no idea who bought this calendar: Was it you? Someone around here bought it from my Redbubble gallery a few nights back, but there is no lead as whom could be the purchaser. I've asked all the likely candidates,... Continue Reading →
Wittunga
A few months back I visited an amazing public garden in the Adelaide hills - Wittunga Botanic Gardens. This park is filled with South African plants that are suited to the South australian climate, so they flower most of the year. Thankfully the rain had abated and the cloud clover was good for overall-light, so... Continue Reading →
