Back in early 2008 it was announced that Fitzroy Street in St. Kilda would be getting a Copenhagen style dual bicycle lane. The lane is similar to what Swanston street has up near Melbourne university but different in that both directions run off the one side of the road. Coming home from my bicycle shopping [...]
The gravel substrate you choose is easily one of the biggest factors contributing to the overall visual appeal of your aquarium. Apart from colours and the substance the gravel is made from, size also plays a part. Smaller sand based gravels give a tropical feel to the aquarium, pea sized gravel offers a more traditional [...]
I was a bit nervous using the Merkur Super Platinum blade as I hadn’t read good things about them. Having used the one that came with my Merkur HD razor months ago for my first double-edged razor shave, I remember overall getting a decent shave but badly cutting up my lower right neck (my trouble [...]
About a week ago somebody started putting up Daffodil Day posters up at work. The posters put up encouraged us to wear something yellow in support of the Cancer Council. Daffodil Day is the annual fundraising event held by the Cancer Council of Australia who fund research into cancer and support for victims of the [...]
If you’ve used the internet for more then thirty seconds at any given time over the last few months then you’ve probably seen the giant boob ads for online game Evony. You know, the ones featuring euro-trash models with giant cleavage and the submissive tagline ‘my lord’. Well, seems British blogger Bruce Everiss decided to [...]
We’ve given Aboriginals equal opportunity. We’ve pumped billions into their failed townships and remote communities. We’ve tried letting them govern themselves. We gave them an official government apology over how they’re ancestors were treated. All this and still practically zero productivity, more whinging and demands for more money.
Freedom of religion is something I respect. The right for a person to choose what religion they belong to (so long as it’s not some crazy cult running around touching up children), without persecution is an important thread woven into the fabric of our society. Which religion you belong to shouldn’t matter, it can be [...]
Some people don’t get how the internet works. No matter how much they use it, who they talk to or what they read, the internet remains beyond their grasp of comprehension. Liskula Cohen and Rosemary Port are two of these people. Liskula Cohen is a socialite (I don’t know what else to call her) who [...]
My first visit to Costco was last Monday on opening day. There was people everywhere, parking was a nightmare and although mostly positive the experience was a little bit overwhelming trying to take everything in. Armed with a shopping list, an idea of where things are and my meanest ‘GET THE HELL OUT OF MY [...]
A few months ago I kissed goodbye to my battery powered LED bicycle lights and embraced the world of dynamo driven lights. Apart from having a power cable fall out once or twice from the front headlight (which has since been remedied with a pair of pliers), the only other challenge has been getting the [...]
