In between ranting at avaricious IVF couples and doing the whole Web 2.0 thing (just as it’s about to become Web 2.1), I also write stuff. Witness the following review, live today at Gadgetguy.com.au: Apple iPod Touch: “Nobody’s ever going to write War and Peace on an iPod Touch, so it’s not a killer flaw…” […]

Righteo. Having finally succumbed to the modern social networking peril that is Facebook, I’m going to put it to the test. Specifically, I’ve put about 100 friend requests out there in the last five minutes (which naturally means I’m sick of bloody text confirmation boxes) — but how long will it take until they’re either

This story just gets stupider and stupider… “She said when they found out they were having twins, her partner who was carrying them, said she felt desperate and wished that one embryo would just go away.” Here’s an idea. Have neither — frankly, for the mental protection of the poor kids, put them both into

Some stories just beggar belief… My initial response to this story was sheer disbelief. Then I started to wonder if I had accidentally emigrated to the U.S. by accident. Then I got angry.. Random thoughts that popped through my head: They’re children, not fashion accessories. There’s nothing guaranteed about IVF to begin with, and the

“There’s only one thing against you. The fact that you’re a repulsive creep.” What a wonderful show The Goodies is. If only they’d release more of them on DVD. Like, say, all of them, in season sets. And don’t give me any of that “they’re not of sufficient video quality” rubbish — it’s the jokes
What goes on tour, stays on tour, as they say. Except when it doesn’t. As in the case with this Segway-laden video. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJ4RHRAmcgI[/youtube] I’m possibly in the background of a few shots; sadly owing to camera issues, my epic, Mano y Mano (not to mention Brother y Brother) Segway battle was not immortalised for the

Ah, the joy of random lyrics. Matched only by the joy of another review, this time at CNET.com.au: Netcomm BP504UK: “Manufacturers love a standard design. For a start, it makes their products instantly recognisable — you can tell an iPod is an iPod because, ultimately, it looks like one.”

When in fact, what I wanted was a tank. From this story at the ABC: “The Defence Department is urging war veterans and historical groups to write in and tell them why they deserve a free decommissioned Leopard Tank.” Tanks. That have never been used. No, nothing could possibly go wrong with giving members of

And he’s never even seen Star Wars. Well, not yet. His older sister has, but she only liked the droids, because they were (in her words) “all sparkly”. Still, years from now, I’ll be able to look at this photo with my son, and say to him “Luc… I am your father!” (Alex ducks pre-emptively.

if a part of my body is defined by a medical professional as “necrotic”, why does it HURT so much? (Not going into details here. You might be eating your dinner, or something)
Ow. Also, what I don't get is… Read More »
