Happy Father’s Day, Dad! Hope it’s a great one… (It’s probably pointless posting that since his company doesn’t let him read my site anymore, but I’ll say it anyway in the hopes that someone else in my family will see it and tell him about it, and if they do, could they perhaps mention to…

Jaded and disillusionedI feel like a little kid that’s found out DisneyWorld didn’t live up to the hype. For the past two weeks you haven’t been able to turn on a television in Sydney without hearing a manic guy screaming about the “MASSIVE LIQUIDATION SALE” going on at Fox Studios. “REPOSSESSED AND SEIZED GOODS!

Looking Glass SweaterThis is the first unveiling of my latest knitting project, a cabled jumper for the Snook.

Basically, I’m asking if it’s worth sitting through a crap teen…

From left to right, that’s Albert, me, some chick from Australian Country Spinners, Nuala, Joseph, Leanne, and Rebecca (on the stool in the back). The Snook was able to convert the footage into two different…

More trouble with Apple AustraliaYesterday was exactly three weeks since I was promised a replacement iMac G5. Unfortunately upon contacting the company, it seems they’re still dicking me around. It’s going to be yet another week. That makes more than TWO MONTHS that the machine’s been sitting dead on my desk. To rub even more…

I’m ranting about Australia over on Ask Metafilter again…

Return of my Inner RENT RatSQUEEE! My good buddy Kelly McMahon just sent me a link to the official RENT trailer. Holy crap, how did I miss that it’s coming out so soon? It’s like I can feel the Christian Bale lust fading as my long-dormant Adam Pascal crush begins to bloom again. His long…
