Thanks to flickr and careful... Continue Reading →
I finally made it to my FIRST MeetUp. The Adelaide Bloggers took over the back room at a local restaurant, one which I've seen a few thousand times from the passenger-seat of a car and bus.

Finally got me a new fancy Apple iPOD Touch, the iTouch. I got the t-shirt awhile ago, and it took me 6 weeks to squirrel away the funds for the real thing.

Some of of them are based on real-world experience, some are observations, and some became life changing for me. Maybe they will be for you also 1. Give Your Enemies What They... Continue Reading →
I have a habit of writing lengthy and long-winded comments on other people's articles ... then figuring the word-count is worthy of an article upon itself. Therefore this is my response to Darren's article asking "How do I Make Money Fast Blogging?": Various Ways to make $25G's in two months: Buy a game of Monopoly... Continue Reading →

I have another new lens on order! This little beauty is a Canon EF 60mm f2.8 Macro USM.
