Sometimes, you have to love efficient organisations. Take, for example, Australia Post. Normally, I get one mail delivery per day, generally around 4pm in the afternoon, although it can vary by up to three hours — usually earlier rather than later. Except today. Today, the postie has been no less than three times. I say […]

That’s OK, B2. He can swim. It’s probably a damning indictment of my state of mind that I found that incredibly funny when I heard it this afternoon. It’s nice when children’s TV creeps up on you like that. I’m working hard at the moment. How hard, I hear you ask? (or perhaps it’s just

This is not one of mine. I wish it was, though. This bloke goes to the doctor and says, “Can you take a look at this little thing on my neck?” So the doctor looks and there’s what looks like a small treeshaped thing. He says to the man, “nothing to worry about, come back
Another day, another couple of CNET.com.au articles: Epson EMP-TW20: The TW-20 isn’t a high end projector, and it doesn’t pretend to be. — apparently, if you get it drunk on a Friday night, it sometimes does pretend to be Frank Sinatra… HP Compaq Presario V4114AP: If there’s one thing that the V4114AP was never going

CNET.com.au has published my Telstra BigPond Wireless review: “There’s only one problem here, and it’s particularly pressing for a product that’s intended to be mobile…”

Those who know me well know that I’m something of a games collector, and that sometimes it can take me quite some time to track down a specific title. As an example, it took me about three years to track down a copy of The Raiden Project (PSOne), a somewhat uncommon title that I eventually

One of the more interesting things about writing for companies with a large international presence is when my stuff ends up being translated into other languages. I’ve long held a soft spot for my commentaries in Russian — and now I can add cracking the no-doubt vibrant Korean market to my list of accomplishments. Whoops.
I never even knew that I could write in Korean… Read More »
An interesting night last night; I went to Vivendi Universal’s launch of F.E.A.R, which for reasons of providing a spooky atmosphere, was held at the Quarantine Station at Manly. This entailed getting in to Circular Quay and getting on a bus for an hour or so through rush hour traffic, during which time I kept

Sure, this isn’t the world’s most original joke. But it’s still good for a minor belly laugh on a cold and wet day.
I perhaps overdid it yesterday — I cleaned and swept the verandah and driveway, washed the front windows and cleaned the car — with help from a little suds-soaked girl, naturally. Of course, it’s raining this morning. The overdid it part didn’t become evident until later in the afternoon, when my appendix scar started hurting,
