Seasons Greetings!

Sunday, December 23rd, 2007

It’s a while since I posted on this blog, quite possibly because I’m too busy with my new company and reading much better or funnier blogs. Oh well, in the spirit of the Festive Season, I thought I’d share a few gems from the last year of RSS:

Great post on today’s generation that echoes my […]

A Global Obligation

Tuesday, May 29th, 2007

Dear all,

By now some of you will have heard my talk about my latest project - A Global Obligation. Well the good news is it’s open for all (Web 2.0-compliant beta mode of course!) Please do your part for humanity and check it out. If you have any feedback or bugs, please let me know. […]

What’s wrong with America…

Thursday, April 12th, 2007

What’s wrong with America is exemplified by this experiment. Maybe it’s my upbringing, but if you did that here in Melbourne, there is no way it would be ignored like that. Reminds me of the Michael Moore ‘Dead guy’ (almost wrote ’skit’) segment on The Awful Truth. Context indeed.

Mileage

Friday, February 9th, 2007

Having just bought a new car, fuel economy is somewhat on my mind, as I compare that of my old Volvo 242GT with my new Mitsubishi Lancer ES 2006 manual, senze go-fast stripes. I quickly realised the majority of fuel savings would come not from a change in vehicle, but a change in driving habits. […]

Sex and Religion

Saturday, November 25th, 2006

Well, I’ve got 2 of the 3 taboos covered, but there was probably another somewhere I’m not supposed to mention…

Personally, in four years time, I’m looking forward to the Liberal Party being able to answer one simple question:
“What are you FOR?”

I think we have a pretty good idea what they’re against. It was enough to […]

Incompetence

Saturday, November 18th, 2006

This e-mail I received today is solid gold. Needless to say I am not a Sun Theatre employee and am subscribed to their mailing list.

Some things that immediately come to mind:

Pure incompetence
What a b****
Perhaps they should use specialised mailing list software…
Perhaps they should issue an apology…
Cool! Now I know how to scab free seats!
“Hi, Anne […]

Free Public Transport

Monday, October 23rd, 2006

According to The Age, The Victorial Liberals plan to make public transport free for students (pretty much any eligible concession card holder). Fantastic in principle. Great if you own the Infrastructure. Terrible if you don’t.

Using the $285m figure over 4 years to provide free public transport to 90,000 students (all data sourced from the article. […]
