Am I the new Andrew Bolt?

A couple of weeks back, I posted a couple of my mate’s offhand comments about climate change. Without any sense of humour whatsoever, a climate change sceptic blog linked to it.
Woohoo! I’m practically Andrew Bolt! (He’ll find out about this post. He has Google Alerts set up on his own name you know…)

Irony. I think.

This is an awesome story. I’ve lost track of what irony means anymore, but I think this might be it. That, or it’s just funny.
Russian authorities have urged 28 members of a doomsday cult to leave the mud bunker in which they are awaiting the end of the world, saying spring rain may trigger its [...]

What I did instead of blogging

A combination of work, wedding and wasting time have conspired to keep me away from the blog for a couple of weeks. Big smacks. But I’d like to tell you a little bit more about how at least four hours of my life were snatched away from me on the weekend just gone.

Chris on Global Warming

My friend Chris (pictured below) offered a few awesome words of wisdom on climate change and global warming last night. Specifically:

Turning 30

I turned 30 on Saturday - International Women’s Day. The Excellent Missus was in Sydney for work, so I was at bit of an end.
So to celebrate 30 awesome years of contribution to humankind, I attended a gym circuit / boxing circuit / wrestling session run by a guy from my footy club. No better [...]

Mafia boss no longer at large, but still large

I’ll give a final instalment of my adventures in Cambodia shortly. First, a quick look at this story I found while getting my organised crime fix. It is about 50 or so Mafia arrests made in New York in February. Check out the photo that went with the story. There’s no tip-toeing around it, this [...]

Cambodia

Well, the Excellent Missus and I are back from Cambodia, in one piece and without throttling each other. Some pictures first, then a quick summary…

When I left off we were in Sihanoukville, where we stayed in a basic bungalow overlooking a beautiful beach. Fair to say I’m not a big tanner: I’m so white, [...]
