A Good Start

I started my new gig today after a fantastic weekend of R and R. I have my ID and security pass already and the people I’m working with seem really nice. All in all, it’s been a terrific return to Melbourne. I went out with some of my friends on… Read More

This and That

It’s quite a challenge to write something halfway interesting every day when most of your life consists of doing a lot of much the same thing, day in, day out. I usually feel as though most of my life is a plain coloured wall with the occasional interesting smudge on… Read More

Minor Updates

I’ve added a couple of features to the site and felt it was time to share another photo with you all. I’m headed to the the snow in a few weeks, so I was looking over my photos from when I went to Canada earlier in the year. I loved… Read More

Beetle Graveyard

My house has appently become where beetles come to die. I don’t know why there has been a sudden influx of the beetle elderly, and I don’t believe it’s because my residence somehow resembles Florida, but that is apparently what the retirement age beetle population believes.

On Email Hoaxes

Just a very short entry today, on email hoaxes. For some reason they refuse to die and I still get forwarded email from well meaning if slightly misguided friends. Please take this as helpful advice, though there will be an element of flame to it. First, and foremost: bookmark this… Read More

Change For The Better

This has been a most interesting weekend, as far as weekends go. I didn’t start into it with any special expectations other than having a lot to do in a fairly short space of time. Now I’m reflecting on what has been a busy, strange, fun and surprising weekend. I… Read More

Babies Are Cute

A friend of mine just had her second baby. His name is Fraser, and he is hella cute. I went to visit her in hospital today. I brought flowers. I didn’t visit her when she had her first, though I can’t quite remember why. Possibly I didn’t feel it was… Read More
