Spent the larger part of the day out in the garden. It looked like rain so I thought I’d get it done before we had a downpour and it grew even more dangerous than it already was… it’s a jungle out there! 🙂 Of course… after spending the day rushing about chopping the edges and … More Clickety clack front and back

Was reading Wired today and got led to an Adobe site where I found this picture… … which has to be one of the oddest logos I’ve ever seen. Why on *earth* would someone think a gap toothed tattooed weirdo was a suitable logo for a site about design? Maybe if I was a designer … More C'mon back to my Adobe.

Beitish media mogul Michael Grade has made a bizarre move on the ailing relationship between the Beeb and the long running Aussie soapie “Neighbours”. Lord knows why but this tedious ongoing saga of dysfunctional families and social misfits is being sought by ITV with an offer price of $275,000 per episode!

The real hope of … More The parents – an update.

The daughter is now officially eleven… and I feel ten years older. Because she is in school today and the old man wasn’t intending to get up early for anything, he decided it would be a good idea to give her her pressie from him and the old lady last night. Being a meanie I … More Daughter's birthday!

Bought my copy – more later.

Fairfax newspapers have decreed that the era of the ‘broadsheet’ newspaper is over. Soon all the remaining broadsheets will be converted to tabloid format… or be closed down. Personally I far and away prefer to broadsheet format to tabloid. That extra area of newsprint is so much better for presentation of serious news. Ok there … More It approaches… the end of the SMH as we know it!!

Caught a promo for some modelling show on Foxtel the earlier tonight and up popped some reference to “the famous Janice Dickenson”.
