Breaking the internet

I really liked this photo when I first saw it a few days ago.  Lindsay Lohan did a photo shoot for New York magazine which was a re-creation of Marilyn Monroe’s last nude photo shoot.  It was even done by the same photographer who took the photos of Monroe - Bert Stern.

Getting into bed with developers

Councils and other levels of government may often have been accused of being “in bed with” building developers. In Wollongong, thats a statement of fact, not merely a metaphor for being corrupt, or at least in a friendly,cosy relationship. Council planner, Beth Morgan, has been the subject of evidence at the Independent Commission Against Corruption […]

Pointless exercises

Many government and judicial inquiries are a complete waste of time and money …motivated by a desire to either fob off decision time until the inquiry runs its course, to be able to fall back on it to justify hard decisions, or to be seen to be doing something.
The inquiry in Britain in the UK […]

Speeding up your daily Entrecarding, and win something

I’ve recently been on a bit of a mission with Entrecard to see how high I can get my card in terms of price for advertising.  A few days ago I discovered Power Dropping which makes the task of dropping cards quickly much easier.  Essentially, you use a list of sites with fast loading Entrecards […]

Essential computer accessories

Another illustration of the fact that I am very easily amused.  I saw these at one of the shops at Narita airport leaving Tokyo on Saturday night.  Naturally, it had to be bought!

Mmmm …. warm

Yes, yes, I know I am easily amused!
One of the things I find fascinating about Japan is the amazing toilet technology. I mean, a lot of time and effort has been invested at some stage in getting toilet science to the point it is now.
I don’t know how I’ll cope when I go home […]

Sorry

I heard Kevin Rudd’s apology to the Stolen Generations yesterday. I must say that while this won’t solve the problems facing aboriginal people in this country, it does build a bridge which ought to enable us to move forward. It is symbolic, it helps heal wounds. It was a proud moment in […]

How long is this going to last?

The new government is looking to raise the tone in parliament, which sits for the first time since last year’s election next week. ALP backbenchers report that Prime Minister Kevin Rudd has told MPs and ministers to avoid barbed replies or hubris during Question Time, partly to embarrass the previous government.
During the final […]

Baby photos

My daughter was looking through my albums of old photos tonight, for some pictures of some of the places in Australia we’ve been.  In the course of that mission, she found this photo of our baby.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
We looked at this and other puppy photos, and its no wonder we just had to buy him when […]
