I was reading about the debate that occurred at the time Australia was trying to evidence what to call its new decimal currency. It’s all very interesting. But the takeaway point, for me anyway, is that even something so inconsequential, so long ago, still was devise even enough to cause death threats. Nowadays we think…
Cruz-supporting PAC misspells ‘country’ in video.
Minecraft is a game with lasting power, that’s for sure. We’ve run a server on-and-off for quite some time now. If the NBN ever reaches where I live we’ll no doubt host our own. Currently though my DSL2 connection clocks in at about 0.8Mbps up and with three users in the house, that’s not enough…
Iowa was a thing. Turned out pretty much as expected I think. I didn’t know that the coin-toss was a legitimate mechanism in certain democratic processes but they are! I’m sure some commentator will cast ire on that. On to New Hampshire! as they say…
Naval Action is an early access title available on Steam at the moment. This is the first time I’ve actually payed to play an alpha, but so far it’s been very entertaining. At this stage since so much is subject to change I won’t do a review of the game, however I have created a…
The politics of those United States of America are strange. Sometimes they’re weirder than other times. It’s generally agreed that things are pretty weird right now and what’s clear is that people don’t know how to react. I recall a scene from The Simpsons a number of years ago illustrates this situation to some degree:…
When I saw the first teasers for this on YouTube I was pretty impressed by how it looked. I’ve played many StarWars games in my time and there are a lot of them. Many didn’t quite hit the mark but at the same time there are others that have elements – that magic – in…
While these days it’s often called “First World Problems”, really this phrase is just another excuse to complain. I think now, more than ever before, people complain. They whinge, the whine. The opine. The heartfelt lamentations over minor injustices – real or perceived – I find sickening as well as a waste of time. Unfortunately…
Blogging’s been around for a while now. And it’s not going anywhere soon! Recently added to the mix is My Sassafras. It’s a blog that focuses on lifestyle, fashion and graphic design. Already there are links to a number of free resources like fonts, and recipes for relaxing essential oil mixes. Curated content, including purpose-shot…
You can’t do better than this, really…
" If we are serious about this, we need to get out of our comfort zones. People on the left can't continue with the illusion that all spending is sacred, and that the only reason the government cuts spending on health or welfare and talks about raising the GST is that its ministers are evil and untrustworthy. People on the right can't continue with the illusion that all tax breaks are sacred, and that the budget can be put back in shape simply by cutting spending. It can't and, most importantly, it won't.

Canberra cyclists can ride on a glow in the dark bike track that will be trialled as an alternative to street lights for the first time in the ACT next week…
Canberra is the only city in Australia where Uber has been recognised and legalised. Which is curious. Normally we’re on the back foot with that kind of thing. Whatever the reason, it’s a benefit. I took my first Uber trips yesterday and they worked flawlessly. I do want to make mention of the taxi drivers…
