Random finds

( Email and Fun Stuff and Stumbles )

When you spend as much time on the internet as I do, you end-up stumbling across a lot of interesting stuff (well at least I think it’s interesting).  Here’s some of the things I’ve found recently:
This is a guy named Alexey Titarenko and his photography is both eerie but still quite cool at the same [...]

What I’ve found online this week

( Fun Stuff )

The Internet is full of pornography weird and wonderful things, and when you spend as much time on the Internet as I do, you’d be amazed at what crazy stuff you can find.
Take this crazy French guy for example. Gerard Brion has spent the last fifteen years crafting a replica of Paris out of [...]

Finally going to make it to the UK

( Fun Stuff and Work )

For the last few years I have been constantly hassled by a couple of my best mates about coming to visit them in the UK.
I was planning on going about 4 years ago but then I started my web hosting business.  This resulted in being on-call 7 days a week and often working 12+ hour [...]

How to read at work

I stumbled across this cool little site created by the New Zealand Book Council.
http://www.readatwork.com/
The premise of the site is truly ingenious - they’ve made the page look like a standard Windows desktop with folders containing ‘what appear to be’ PowerPoint presentations when in fact, these faux presentations actually contain the text of classic novels, poems [...]

Best Looking Man In Brisbane… here we go again

( Blogging and Fun Stuff and Work )

As some of you may know, a while ago I stumbled across a Brisbane guy named Peter Laurent who was trying to rank for the keywords ‘Best Looking Man In Brisbane’.
I thought that this was pretty funny and thought it would be fun to take the piss and rank for the term myself.
After weaving some [...]

Skye’s birthday at The Met

( Friends and Fun Stuff and Weekends )

On Friday night we went out with Skye for her birthday.  She was having dinner with family and close friends, so Kristy and I went over to Scotty’s place for a few drinks and then afterwards we met-up with Skye and a few of her friends at The Met.
We don’t get out as much anymore [...]

Portal and Burnout Paradise

( Fun Stuff )

While I’m saving my pennies to get a copy of Gran Theft Auto IV for my PS3, I’ve been playing The Orange Box and Burnout Paradise.
The Orange Box is good (with Portal getting two big thumbs-up) but Burnout is really excellent. The game isn’t complex - basically you drive around freely racing and smashing-up [...]

Map of Strange

( Fun Stuff )

Glen sent me this ages ago and I’ve been meaning to mention it in a post but just hadn’t gotten around to it… so now is as good a time as any.
Check-out Map of Strange
The Map of Strange website is a way of recording strange, wacky, weird and wonderful anomalies, sights and oddities from Google [...]

Where does he get those wonderful toys

( Fun Stuff and Work )

In the old Batman movie with Michael Keaton and Jack Nicholson, the Joker makes a comment about Batman’s gadgets and gizmos, saying “Where does he get those wonderful toys…”
And to be honest, I’m feeling a bit like Bruce Wayne / Batman at the moment myself. Before you jump to conclusions - no I haven’t [...]

I’m baaacckkkk

( Blogging and Family and Friends and Fun Stuff and House and Weekends and Work )

The last 8 weeks have been the busiest, most stressful, most eventful and most fulfilling 8 weeks I think I’ve ever been through.
In this time, Kristy and I have booked an overseas holiday to go and visit Con, Gerard and Chris in the UK (as well as spending some time sight-seeing in France and Italy).
We [...]
