Favourite Song of the Moment

May 5, 2012

I first saw this song at the gym when it came on the monitors, but as my earplugs weren’t working I couldn’t listen to it. Frustrated, I was there jogging along thinking I DIDN’T KNOW RUPERT SANG. HOW DID THIS PIECE OF INFORMATION PASS ME BY? IS MY POP CULTURE RADAR MALFUNCTIONING? IS IT INAPPROPRIATE [...]

Beauty

April 25, 2012

Singing competitions aren’t to everyone’s television viewing tastes; I know, because I’m usually one of those people. That said, I’m enjoying The Voice and this performance by Brittany made me tear up. So lovely.

Minecraft Tutorial – Hotel Building with K and R

April 22, 2012

Technically, this isn’t a tutorial so much as a walk through of the latest construction the kids are building together. They play off the server hosted on Adam’s computer which Keira then logs into via the LAN and it is surprising how productive they can be in a short period of time. I have more to say [...]

Internet, I Am Aggrieved*

April 17, 2012

And what’s the best thing to do when one is aggrieved? Watch Sam Rockwell dance, of course. Will it solve anything? No – but it helps. Okay, as you were. (But I dare you not to hum James Brown for the rest of the night. DARE YOU I SAY.) * Never mind why. Yes, this [...]

What’s Interesting Around the Internet This Month

April 10, 2012

The amazing work of Guy Laramee – making carved landscapes out of books. Go to his website to see the rest. This deliciously sarcastic blog post entitled ‘You’re Bored? That’s so AWESOME!‘ has some nice links to follow if perhaps you find yourself in a similar predicament one day. I’d heard of the mosaic method [...]

Melbourne – A Little Past 6am

March 27, 2012

Earth hath not anything to show more fair: Dull would he be of soul who could pass by A sight so touching in its majesty: This City now doth, like a garment, wear The beauty of the morning; silent, bare, Ships, towers, domes, theatres and temples lie Open unto the fields, and to the sky; [...]

Why I Need To Stay Away From Pinterest When I’m Ovulating: And Two Other Reasons to Avoid the Internet

March 7, 2012

Pinterest Pinterest is for pretty things and pretty people, and as I’m not really crafty or artsy or fashion-y or aesthetic-y, then what could it possibly have for me? Answer: Pictures of Ryan Gosling and Chris Pine. Many, many pictures. Oh, yes. Pin. Pin. Pin. Pin. Pin. Pin. Pin. Pin. Pretty soon though it becomes [...]

A Nifty App For People Who Like Filming Videos

February 29, 2012

Adam has fallen in love with this app: Action Movie FX. This is the blurb from the iTunes store, “ACTION MOVIE FX lets you add Hollywood FX to iPhone movies YOU shoot!”. Even better, it is free. But if you don’t like seeing innocent cats being squashed by an enormous wrecking ball, then it might [...]

I Bet You Thought I Was Finished Talking About Faeces, Huh?

February 27, 2012

Yes, the adventures of baby poo explosions (or ‘Number Threes’ as I’ve heard them more delicately termed) may be over in this house and, true, there’s the odd case gastro to keep us all on our toes – or hovered over the toilet – but by and large I haven’t waded into these murky waters [...]
