I’ve been sorting through my New Zealand photos… I’ve done a first screening pass – where I pick which ones are publishable – and am now going through and naming all of them (and commenting on some). After that comes a second screening, where I double-check the ones I chose the first time round. And… Read more

First iTMS purchase

I’ve just bought Taxiride’s ‘Imaginate’ album from the iTMS. It’s the first thing I’ve bought there. Aside from being $9.99 + Applicable State and Federal Taxes poorer, I don’t feel any different. I was tossing up whether or not to use the iTMS… I sort of put it to myself that if they had a… Read more

Ever so slowly getting there

It’s been a surprisingly busy week, as is likely evident by the fact that I haven’t written anything about it yet. I have started going through my NZ photos, but there’s 1950 of them, so it’s going to take some time. A fair fewer turned out than I’d hoped, with the killer in 95% of… Read more

I was trying to think up a particularly sharp and witty introductory line, but took too… Read more

I very nearly had a car crash yesterday. I was on my way to pick up Chris from Frankston station, heading down Frankston-Dandenong road. Just before the Frankston freeway intersection, next to the golf club there. I was cruising along, doing just under 80 (the speed limit), when someone in a red stationwagon – I… Read more

How the other half lives

I am right handed. I always fancied myself to be at least hintingly ambidextrous as a [very young] child, but I never really pursued it beyond writing left-handed occasionally. I’ve decided to be left-handed for a while, see how that goes. Hopefully it’ll be interesting. The first problem I’ve hit, apart from being pretty spastic… Read more
