I’m a fan of the new Facebook design. I had a few issues, though, so I created a Firefox extension to make it more readable (and remove all the ads).

I always look back at stuff I’ve written years ago and think where did that funny smart guy go? Worst thing is I’m not yet a success by any measure so am still suffering for the sake of my “art” but it is not getting any better.

I need to select a few of my gig photos to enter in Billboard & PDN’s music photography competition. Here is my flickr, and here is my website. Does anyone have any suggestions as to which ones I should pick? I’d love some input. It costs $15 to enter a photo in the amateur section, or $20 for a series of six photos with a theme. (Apparently, to count as a profressional,...

Hello America!
I’m in Australia but woke up at 3am so turned on the telly and America’s Today show with Matt Laurer was on. The 1st story with special comments from some guy outside a corporate headquarters - Belgium beer company buys an American beer company. The 2nd story with no special comments - 9 Americans being killed in Afghanistan. *super sigh*

Just $10 for a vote? Then I'll take 100. →
Remember my inspired idea (how uber modest am i?) to take advantage of the surplus votes and sell them to interested people internationally? No. I bring it up pretty often. Well, my thinking was that the market price for a vote would have been $150-$250. $10??? Wow. Stuff in America really is cheap. I can have 12 pairs of tube socks from Wal-Mart or a vote in your election. Tough choice. Attention...

“The real enemy of writing creating is talk.”
– David Malouf, quoted by Salman Rushdie and rudely edited by me, who adds:
“He warns, particularly, of the dangers of speaking about work in progress. When writing, one is best advised to keep one’s mouth shut, so that words flow out, instead, through one’s fingers.”

Rock the geek out @ Gencon Oz →
If you’re in Brisbane and into miniature war games, anime, role playing or cosplay then today is the last day of the must see convention of your life. Is a place to let the geeks be geeks. I loved how much they own their nerdom. Wasn’t my server of geek but the miniature war games are kind of cool. Is like chess on steroids combined with miniature train building. Plus you can learn...

Support 'The Doctor' in abstaining from alcohol... →
I didn’t have any alcohol in March, April or May this year so don’t feel like participating in another month long abstinence even for a good cause. Instead I’m going to throw my tumblr led Dry July support behind Triple J’s the Lindsay ‘The Doctor’ McDougall. Come on tumblr people, making someone not drink for 30 days by guilting them into it through donations...
