Photography websites

A couple of weeks ago I bought a Canon EOS 400D digital SLR to further my photography and turn it from a casual hobby into something to fill my spare time a bit more (and experience the majesty of God’s creation in the process). Before and after buying it, I found some excellent sites relating [...]

Golf Course Review: Colonial Golf Course

The Colonial at Werrington has a fair reputation for being a bit of a dog paddock with a few fairways and greens. According to my brother, when the deluge of rain happened back in April, the whole course was flooded for a couple of weeks. It’s by no means a visual stunner (with power lines [...]

Golf Course Review: Rum Corps Barracks Golf Course

Last week, my dad and I had a round of golf at the 9 hole Rum Corps Barracks course at Windsor. It’s located next door to the Sebel Resort on Macquarie Rd, just before the Richmond RAAF Base if you’re travelling west, and is a good little option if you only have time to play [...]

Waratahs lead Crusaders 12-3

About 13 or so minutes in the first half remaining. Regardless of whether the Tahs win or lose, I have a feeling that Ewen McKenzie may still stick around for next year despite his “sacking” earlier in the season.

Has your GPS taken you off the beaten track?

Police have advised that the traditional road map or street directory is more effective at taking a motorist from Point A to Point B after revealing instances of having to rescue drivers who’d found themselves lost. Read News Limited’s story here.
I don’t have one myself, nor do I really see the cost effectiveness of one [...]

IPL’s most valuable players

As the Indian Premier League approaches semi final time, Cricinfo has brought forward the best value players for the tournament. Unsurprisingly, Western Australia’s Shaun Marsh is up the top of the batsmen, and it’s no surprise, since he’s been firing on all cylinders during the time he’s been playing. He came in during the 5th [...]

The Sale Blog

Regular listeners to Chris Smith’s afternoon show on 2GB will know of the Bargain Shoppers’ Guide on Thursday afternoons with Jebby Phillips. She mentions at the end of her segment that there is a blog that sums up the bargains from the broadcast, plus more that there isn’t enough time to talk about. Check out [...]

Promo video for “Burn Your Plastic Jesus”

Good little vid to use in your church services, I reckon - having heard Al Stewart many times, I would emphatically say that he would be just as effective at bringing across the message that Driscoll will give as Driscoll himself. With less hair, of course, but that ain’t what matters.

FuelBotch?

All this to-ing and fro-ing about what the proposed FuelWatch system will do to petrol prices in the face of spiralling oil prices is just stupid. It’s come so far as to find Brendan Nelson moving a censure motion against Kevin Rudd because he will not guarantee that prices will not increase with this initiative [...]

The Macbook Air cuts through bread

According to this German blog (translated into rough English by Google Translator), the edges of the world’s thinnest notebook can also leave a slightly nasty wound if skin gets in contact. I don’t have one to be able to test whether these are legit or not, but I’d have to have a closer look at [...]
