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.

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:
