The following is a satirical piece regarding the APEC saga last week. I’m considering whether I put it in vodcast form on YouTube for our dear PM — but for now, I’ll just put the transcript up. Well, it seems Sydney drew the short straw, and thus got the joy of almost completely shutting down [...]

Hi All… Here at uni (Room S825, S-Block, QUT Gardens Point) someone started a drawing of some penguins getting alarmed at a Windows Vista logo on one of the whiteboards. Over time, this little cartoon has evolved, and thus I figured I better get a shot of it before it disappears. It symbolises the battles [...]

Hi All… I just received this email… Some may have seen it before, and I could’ve just forwarded it to people, but rather than forwarding an email that’s already been forwarded at least 6 times, complete with the email addresses of everyone involved, I figured I’d post it up here.

However, one little safety notice really stood out… Have a look at the photos below (click for large image). Yep, that’s right… apparently they’re not toys for kids either. I would’ve thought this [...]

I just heard a beauty Captain Obvious moment on the radio a moment ago.  I know I’m guilty of stating the bleeding obvious on occasion, but this is unbelievable. In Brisbane (this show is also broadcast to Melbourne, Sydney and Adelaide) there’s a late night talk show called “The Spoonman“.  I like listening to it, [...]
