Christmas In July
13 July 2010 06:07 AM
I could never get to sleep on Christmas Eve. And when I finally did doze off, I would always wake moments later, certain I had slept well past the time set by my parents as an appropriate hour to open presents. Last night, my sleep was similarly disrupted. Sure I dozed here and there, but [...]

Why Schumacher Is Innocent
18 May 2010 12:05 PM
Much has been said about Michael Schumacher’s penalty so I decided to sit down and have a look at the rules in a little more detail. The first thing I thought I’d look at is the reason why a safety car is called. According to Rule 40.3;

28 March 2010 00:03 AM
If you’re a member of Facebook, you’ll be familiar with the term ‘It’s Complicated’, a term people use when they’re involved in an unusual relationship and until recently I never fully understood when the time was appropriate to use the ‘complicated’ status. When it comes to sport you have to follow a team, and any [...]

So long Adelaide, and thanks for all the fish
14 March 2010 20:03 PM
It doesn’t seem all that long ago that I arrived in Adelaide. So for a place where time apparently moves so slow that they’re currently 20 years behind the rest of Australia, I’m surprised at how fast the last three days have passed me by. You could say they passed by V8 Supercar fast, but [...]
