*sob* Australia just won the cricket, as expected, and Steve Waugh, the captain, got to make a speech afterwards. He said that they’d had a good couple of weeks, but the real heroes were all the firemen up in the bush saving lives and homes. Then he announced that the team was donating their entire winnings from the series – $51,000 – to the bush fire Relief Fund. Then as everybody was applauding, the head of the Australian cricket association said that they’d be matching the donation too. It’s like an Oprah moment.

This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.
