I woke up this morning with the feeling that I didn’t really want to participate too heavily in today. I’m tired and my to-do list is full of things I really don’t want to do.
Then I sat at a set of traffic lights and watched in my rear-view mirror as the woman behind me used [...]
I’m busy. And impatient. Consider it a symptom of a Gen-X, child of the 80’s type lifestyle, but I really don’t have time to waste. So why is it that websites still think that when looking to purchase their software, I’ll want to read pages of text about how great it is and then spend [...]
Greenpeace have launched a campaign against Japanese Whaling by using Origami. Download and make an origami whale, send it to Greenpeace and they’ll deliver all the whales to the Japanese Minister of Foreign Affairs in Tokyo.
Whaling has been a personal issue of mine for many, many years now, and I’m happy to continue supporting Greenpeace’s [...]
Well, the semester has unofficially started again, and once more I am up to my eyeballs in extra work. This year I am much more organised than I was last year (starting a new job in the same week as study commenced was not terribly helpful) so I’m hoping that I can use my newfound [...]
For a while now, Technorati and I haven’t been seeing eye to eye. I’ll post something, ping Technorati from both the inbuilt Wordpress ping system as well as a manual ping via Technorati’s page, and Technorati will completely ignore me. Sometimes the post shows up hours later, and sometimes it takes days. This also used [...]
I’m a bit of a science geek. I wanted to be a biologist for a long while growing up and I still tend to get a little shuddery over sciency things. So when I read that the Royal Society had digitised their catalogue and were opening it up for two months to the [...]
I always get a certain thrill out of seeing fellow Australian doing things online. Face it, we are only ~22 Million people out of billions, and we have a tendency to get lost in the crowd sometimes. Start thinking closer to home, and the chances of running into someone from the same state is lower [...]
I’m completely entranced by ThinkGeek’s new Wee Ninjas. I want one. Desperately. Now to brave the perils of international shipping to get me one.
[Edit: Shipping to my country is US$23. I think perhaps I'll wait until I have a few things I want.]
I have heard much about these things in my travels, but have yet to actually lay down the dosh necessary to convince one to share my life. But I have actually splashed out and purchased a refill.
Yeah, I know, incredibly cheap, but I am terribly fond of my Parker pen and really just wanted to [...]
