One of the most common questions I encountered back in Australia when I told people I was moving to Taiwan was ‘have you travelled much?’
The last time I left Australia was back in 1993 on a family trip.
The reaction I got when I told people I was moving abroad was thus usually one of surprise. [...]
In what was arguably the stupidest online based legal case last year here in Australia (followed closely by a Chinese company suing a UK blogger using Australian laws), news broke yesterday that Z-Geek won their legal battle against Jonathan Nolan, Greg Smith and their company Myrmidon Enterprises.
In other news, it’s still possible to launch expensive [...]
News filtered down through the grapevine this week that Polaris Media Group CEO Shane Krider and one of the few older EMC members left in the company, Rachel Oliver were now romantically involved.
Whilst this in itself isn’t such a big deal it did get me thinking and slightly curious as to what the rest of [...]
Chinese new year happened over here and I didn’t have any internet access over the last week or so.
So naturally one of my wordpress plugins realises I’m not around and decided to go rogue and place undue stress on the hosting database. Hosting company then realise this and disable the database until I get in [...]
It’s widely known that members of Polaris Media Group subscribe to the principles of James Arthur Ray’s ‘The Secret’.
Before everything became centralised via the Polaris website backend many distributors advertised that they had utilised the teachings of the Secret and were all too willing to pass their expertise on.
Late last year two people died during [...]
I’m a few days late with this post due to internet problems but give or take a week I don’t really think the blog is going to mind.

In [...]
I’ve been blogging remotely with my Asus Eee PC for a few months now and out of the box the Eee PC’s are capable of catering to most travellers needs.
Having said that however there are several things you can do to make relying on an Eee PC that much easier. Today I thought I’d share [...]
Whilst talk of class action lawsuits have drifted in and out of the discussion sphere surrounding Polaris Media Group, there hasn’t really been that much of a non-internet based public challenge to distributors of the company.
Sure there’s the backlash that’s raged over the internet, but what about informing those that aren’t internet savvy? How do [...]
Over the last month or so I’ve largely stayed out of the developments surrounding Polaris Media Group. Thanks to the tireless dedication of various people however, readers of OzSoapbox have been kept up to date with information as the leadership of this company appears to bottom out.
As we head towards January 2010 and wrap up [...]
I’ve been living out of a suitcase this past week as I’ve made my way around Taiwan. Luckily I’ve had the luxury of a relatively stable internet connection so although blogging frequency has slipped I’ve still been able to keep things somewhat updated around here.
Over the next week or so (could be two weeks) I’m [...]
