Hey That’s Todally Swede

I came across this Swedish guy‘s blog. I’m mentioning this for three reasons: I love the site’s layout; and he links to a few cool things: Roundabout Dogs Stupid Cats (mainly for Bowman but if you like it then good for you. I love the condescending note the phrase “good for you” has) He had [...]

Work Christmas Party Photos

Our IT Department’s Christmas Party was at Friday’s nightclub in Brisbane. It’s all fun and games until somebody loses their wallet/phone/dignity.

Wisdom of the crowd for weight loss

At Chermside shopping centre north of Brisbane yesterday (Sunday), which has recently been expanded with a bunch of new shops and food places, including a dreamy donuts.

After you install some Windows Updates, Windows earnestly insists that you have to restart your computer as a matter of urgency.

Dog tube

Certain elements of this blog’s readership have commented that Chloe doesn’t appear to be obese as I claim. To better demonstrate her tubularity I give you this photo. You be the judge!

Bundaberg – dogs, kites and dragons

On Saturday we went to Moore Park just north of Bundaberg, where there was a shindig with the sandology.com guy building this sand dragon, and tons of kites like this dinosaur…and Subaru-engined gyrocopters. This dog is called Chloe, her obesity amuses me.
