One of the biggest breakthrough’s I had in making my bicycle commute more comfortable was the investment in a bicycle rack and a good set of panniers. Not only did I get to experience the enjoyment of having nothing hindering my body as I rode but the addition of a rack and panniers increased the [...]

I was browsing over at news.com.au when I saw an ad with Jackie Chan pop up. This in itself isn’t that much of a big deal but the ad was for Kaspersky anti virus. Jackie Chan and Kaspersky antivirus…really? Unfortunately I didn’t screen grab it before it rotated and for the life of me I [...]

Aaron Saxton is an ex-Scientologist and was one of the people who contacted Australian Senator Nick Xenophon over his experience as a Sea Org Scientology member. I just finished watching the interview (68 minutes in length) he published to Youtube on the 18th November and I haven’t been so moved and made angry in a [...]

I don’t know if Telstra are trying to take the mickey out of Microsoft, but their latest ‘too little too late’ scheme, the T-Box, looks suspiciously like Microsoft’s original Xbox. Not only that but it appears to be able to do everything a modified X-Box was capable of, only the Xbox was released back in [...]

Over the past month there’s been an uncomfortable stand off between the Australian government, the Indonesian government and a boatload of so called Tamil asylum seekers.

One of the great things about Australian society is that unlike other countries, we aren’t afraid to drag topics kicking and screaming into the public sphere for open discussion. In my view, this is a two-faced organisation, Scientology is not a religious organisation. It is a criminal organisation that hides behind its so-called religious beliefs. [...]

I remember the first time I met my lasik eye surgeon. I was sitting in his consulting room while he looked over my file. I’d had all the relevant pre-operative tests and now it was crunchtime. On the wall were a whole bunch of accreditations with abbreviations I didn’t really know the meaning of but [...]

It’s estimated that there’s roughly 400,000 balconies in Australia and with each new highrise that goes up their numbers increase dramatically. All around the country balconies are silently plotting and biding their time. In the last 12 months alone they’ve claimed hundreds of victims and the relentless onslaught looks set to continue. Forget terrorists, lip [...]

Remember when you were a little kid and your parents stopped you from using certain words? Ninety nine percent of the time these wound up being swear words and if you were anything like me, getting creative to circumvent these banned words was irresistible. So you’d parade around sprouting off your new found cleverness, revelling [...]
