I always enjoy a meme that involves honesty, truth and the human brain. Found via another Steve, I hereby list my 'needs': Stephen needs nothing more than a new direction. Because he has his health, a brain, the ability to breathe and a roof over his head. Stephen needs to clean out the clutter, metaphorically,... Continue Reading →
Importing Content with CSS
Tonight I found some cool CSS at StopDesign. See that navigation at the top of screen? I just love how the words "recent stuff", "design work", "background info" and "of interest" are brought in via the CSS. I've chopped from the full CSS how this achieved. I won't explain too much, as I'm unsure of... Continue Reading →
Free Speech
Free speech is NOT the freedom to say whatever you want, feel or believe. Particularly believe. Free speech is the freedom to express an opinion and/or oppose a view without fear of repercussion from your employer nor government - regardless of your gender, skin-colour or nationality. This freedom does not say you cannot be arrested... Continue Reading →
Shooting Macro Flowers in February
We have a dozen interesting lens to shoot with, but the one I enjoy most is my Canon 60mm Macro. My wife has the Canon 100mm Macro. Both are amazing lens and shoot different levels of intricacy.

Here is the photograph I have chosen: Trailer Bike This was shot upon the SEALINK ferry... Continue Reading →
Surviving the Australian Heat

Celebrating my 40th Birthday: Zoo Adventures and Surprise Parties
Today was interesting. It started out reasonably boring with the standard wake-up and breakfast, but it quickly turned into a good day for me. But don't let me jump to far ahead, there's more to this story than just what happened today... The wife and I have annual membership with ZooSA, enabling us to visit... Continue Reading →
A Sunny Saturday: Adventures at the Post Office
On this gloriously sunny Saturday morning, I arose from my nights sleep filled with plans. First on the agenda was to post @rant's new camera bag off to him. Carrying it upon back and shoulders as designed, I started my trek towards town. About half away along I got to think about the words that... Continue Reading →
