Don’t Judge a Facebook By Its Cover

19 June 2010 14:06 PM
On the 3rd of October 2007 I signed up to Facebook. Some might laugh and think that I was early to the party so I’m a bit of a square, yet others might scoff and think I was late to the party so I was more of a try(angle) hard. When you think about Facebook, it’s [...]

Nando’s University

14 December 2009 18:12 PM
I went out for dinner the other night to a Nando’s down at Docklands. After a long while looking over the menu I decided to order a classic chicken burger with egg and bacon. Now imagine I had been asked to make that decision 12 years earlier. That would be crazy, right? Back then I [...]

In case of emergency

29 September 2009 17:09 PM
Fear rises as I leave the house. They’re out there, waiting. An enemy that knows not how to hide, but instead makes its presence known, adopting the shoot first, exchange insurance details later approach that it has been practising for years. Few understand my fear; some even dismiss it as irrational. But I know better. [...]

Mate, you’re not alone

24 June 2009 00:06 AM
In 2005, there were 2,101 reported suicides in Australia and almost 80% of those were men, which isn’t all that surprising. Men are more likely to drink excessively; alcohol is a depressant and when you drink large quantities of it you can unlock the floodgates to anxiety, insecurity, sadness and irrationality. Somewhat more concerning though [...]

I love ya tits!

19 June 2009 13:06 PM
Whoh! Settle down! Before you slap me and call me a sexist swine, hear me out. Keith Loutit is a Sydney photographer who takes thousands of photos and edits them in to time lapse videos such as this. I find his videos exceptionally spectacular as he captures the story behind a scene that so many [...]

A bleak existance

13 June 2009 00:06 AM
The other night while in my bedroom attempting to write about my passion for motor sport, I logged on to Facebook and had a conversation with my housemate. That isn’t all that unusual as we quite often communicate via Facebook and gmail. What was unusal about this particular occasion was that he was in the [...]

People suck

28 May 2009 22:05 PM
I walked to and from work today and realised just how much I enjoy it. It takes me around an hour to walk door to door and that’s about the only hour I get to spend on my own. I enjoy time on my own because all the pain I have ever felt is a [...]

Evernote is great!

26 May 2009 18:05 PM
I love my iPhone but it would be like every other smart phone on the market if it were not for the applications that are available from the App store. Most of the applications that I download are purely fun; the Urinal Test is a great example of that, it really is nothing more than [...]

Great expectations

19 May 2009 23:05 PM
When I was 3 or 4 my Mum started taking me to the supermarket for her weekly shop. I was of an age where I absolutely loved any excursion outside the house and I had little idea of what was required in a trip to the supermarket. It’s more than simply a matter of going [...]

Popping an umbrella

15 May 2009 13:05 PM
We’ve all heard the slang term ‘pop a cap in his ass’ which loosely translates to ‘shoot someone’. It isn’t the most complex of slang terms to understand; cap – bullet, pop – shoot, ass – bottom; and in the right environment, it certainly gets the point across. For example, it  is far more effective [...]
