Media Boss

Media Boss is a softwear synching tool for the PSP that connects it to a windows computer. As you would expect from the people at Mediafour, who brought us MacDrive and XPlay, this is a good solid application with some nice features, but sadly they have already been out gunned by some other players in the market, namely PSPWare from NullRiver. I dont know about you, but I really dont want to be managing playlists in multiple applications and then trying to somehow get the whole thing synced up. I have an iPod, so I use iTunes, although I did …Read the Rest

Brush twice a day, floss and drink Cosmos

I think at last I understand why all those American boys have such sparkly white teeth – its all about the Cosmos. A study by the sensible Dr Hyuan Koo at the University of Rochester Medical Center in New York has found a compound in Cranberries that can stop bacteria …Read the Rest

London Observations

In 2001 I went to London to work on a project for KPMG. I was lucky enough to be traveling with another person from my office, Sharon, who was a real sanity saver. After a somewhat crazed roam around London over the Easter weekend Sharon and I came up with …Read the Rest

30 Days – Required Viewing

I have recently finished watching the new series from the maker of Super Size Me, Morgan Spurlock. The new series, “30 Days” is based on the same kind of premise as the film – take someone and put them in a stressing situation for 30 days and see what the …Read the Rest

Come play with me

People have occasionally, and I must say somewhat unkindly, accused me of playing games. I cant really say that I agree, unless of course they are talking about something as wonderful as the new Sony PSP in which case I am going to completely agree. A few weeks ago I …Read the Rest

The Summer Wind

My-oh-my summer has come a gang busters here in Melbourne. Phew-ey. Even on the days they forecast as being overcast and showers have been TER-RIF-IC!!! And I love it. Growing up in Queensland, I was raised to think that a tan was normal so the last few years where I …Read the Rest

a long walk

After a bit of drama, I have finally got v2.0 of this puppy up and running. While I was fairly happy with the last layout, I wanted something simpler and cleaner. I also wanted a blog that was able to deliver content in categories. I know, I know. Why dont …Read the Rest

Letter to the past

This is one of the assignments for my screenwriting class at school. I had to produce a letter to someone from the past to whom I could no longer speak. Writing it was a really wonderful experience, so I thought I would share it here. ———————————————————— Dear Alan, I remember …Read the Rest

Corpse Bride

I have long listed Tim Burton as one of my favourite directors. His visual style and eye for detail is challenging, beautiful and engaging.  He seems to see the world in simple and brightly coloured way a child does. And I love watching it. I have been able to ignore …Read the Rest

Freak Me Out

It would seem that we are simply not satisfied with the deadly and venomous that we have here in Australia, we need go searching for more.  Some recent research discovered that, against traditional wisdom, lizards do actually have venom. It appears that even the little bearded dragon lizards we have …Read the Rest
