Mmm.. tasty. Today, the dentist plugged me full of drugs (not too bad), and then drilled holes in, well, my head. They used to call that Trepanation. I don’t think I was demon possessed when I went in, but I was definitely more cash-possessed. Oh well, time to turn out more words of wonderful prose, […]
On the one hand: There’s some great things about being a parent. Like when your kids look up at you, smile, and spontaneously hug you, just because they love you. On the other hand: There’s some hard things about being a parent. Like last night, when our two eldest children had alternating nightmares until 3am.

(one for the fans there. They know who they are…) CNET.com.au has another of my pieces up… well, except that’s it’s not exactly mine. It’s a rewrite/update of a guide that the eminently talented Siddharth Raja wrote some time back. Basically, all the shiny new stuff is mine, and the older shiny stuff is his,

This is SCARING ME! [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_A2Fs1hwYQo[/youtube] (Credit where credit’s due: I spotted this on Gizmodo.com.au, and they pinched it from RobotsRule.com. Now, if you don’t mind, I’m going to go hide under the bed where ElmoSapien can’t find me…)

10 Work, clean, look after kids. 20 Repeat 365 If only the editor worked, and I could insert line 15 (“Sleep”) in there somewhere. Now, while I try to work the code out, you can check out yet another review, live at CNET.com.au today: Beyonwiz DP-H1: “At its core, the H1 is essentially a high

It’s late, I’m tired, and all my funny has been used up (or drained out) by the kids. Still, even though the newsagent’s is closed right now (as I’m writing this) it’s more than likely open right now-in-the-future (when you’re reading this). Which means two things — firstly, I’m speaking to you from the past.

Now, I’m not the World’s Greatest Gardener — a title which is bestowed, as far as I can see, through owning a coffee cup that lets all and sundry know that you are, in fact, the World’s Greatest Gardener. Humorous arrangements of fig leaves and thumbs may be involved on the cup, but these matters

iPods. Everyone seems to love them. Except, apparently, the Eskimos of the frozen north, who view them as a nuisance, invading the igloos and eating all the fish*. Apple just keeps on making new ones, which means I’m then employed to write about them. I should be grateful, I suppose, as per today’s example, live
