iPad review: the computer you should feel guilty about owning

I have pined over it for all this time, but now I have had enough time to realise that I don’t actually want one. At least not the first generation one… I think many people, myself included, have been wondering where the hell this device fits into your life. How will it fit? Will it [...]

Spring forward, Fall back. One hour to iPad and counting down to daylight saving

Here I sit watching the best of Tropfest 2010 wrestling heavy eyeballs trying to get to the last wee hours of daylight saving before the clock gets cranked back to normal, when seriously all I am actually doing is waiting and watching, online of course, what happens at the flagship 5th Avenue Apple ‘Cube’ store [...]

An obtuse video take on Ron Mueck Exhibition – National Gallery Victoria

While visiting the Ron Mueck Exhibition on show at the National Galleries Victoria, I was able to sneak some footage on a FLIP Mini HD video camera. I did get asked to stop rather quickly as well but nonetheless I thought it was worthy of my efforts to make a short video of the escapade. [...]

Australia Day Ride – 2010

Since 2006 a group of us have been hitting the road on the Australia Day weekend and enjoying three or four days of riding Australia’s high country. This year the group expanded to 11 people, which dropped back to 10 on day one when poor old Robbie put his BMW K1200 over the side of [...]

How will the iPad fit into your digital life?

I was asked to write up my initial thoughts on the iPad on 27 Jan when it launched for my work blog, so rather than repeat anything here, please follow the link to the Telstra Exchange blog where you can read my opinions and have your say. .

Review: The Lovely Bones, Peter Jackson

I heard great things about this movie but it just failed to light up the screen for me right from the get go. I found it sitting on a fence and it never really got anything; scary, eventful, worrysome, nervous, trippy, stimulating or otherwise it just sat on the fence not really saying anything about [...]
