Why? Because the start of the British Grand Prix has just been announced (as in, we will show the start in about half an hour) on Channel Ten but I know that it finished about ten minutes ago and what the result is. Damn you broadcast television.

What World Cup?
Apparently there’s a World Cup starting in a couple of days. My only contribution is to be slightly miffed when JFGP insists that the game is called soccer [1]. It isn’t, it’s football. Regardless, I’m generally fairly oblivious to the round ball game, and can sum up my sentiments about the next five weeks as …
Photographic Presentations
Thanks to the nice folks at Download Squad I’ve discovered Splashr.com a nice little service that creates presentations from your photos stored at Flickr. It’s really quite good, here are a couple of samples; A selection of photos of Alexander Oliver poses for the camera Some people that I work with
Back Home
OFB is home safely from the hospital. The boy and his mother are a bit tired but otherwise all seems to be well.
Hospital Pass
I don’t normally sully this page with actual news, but just for a change here we go. OB Todd is spending some quality time at the Children’s Hospital with what looks like another UTI. Luckily he’s in the best place for treatment and hopefully this time we got onto it early enough that he’ll be …

Next thing you know he’ll be munching his …
There Goes My Sanity
It’s Sunday night after a particularly tough weekend and SWMBO is making me watch the Eurovision Song Contest. Again. I shall have to set up a relief fund. Do think of contributing, even a small donation may help maintain my tenuous grip on reality.
Crawling out of the third world
Yesterday I discovered that Australia has joined the first and second worlds, even if it’s only in an online sense. What am I talking about? Google Maps has updated their database to cover this wide brown land. Look, here’s my house.
The DaVinci Code
It’s popcorn fiction of the worst kind, with cliche ridden dreadful writing and less than one dimensional characters. The prose style is taken directly from the sub-editors desk at The Sun. Don’t even get me started on the enormous number of simple factual errors in the text, not least the screamingly obvious fact that Mr …
I’ve Got a Lightbox
And I’m not afraid to use it. Thanks to Robyn’s efforts I’ve now got a nice white box to photograph things in. My first effort was a couple of test shots of JFGP‘s pet monkey. Expect to see more random lightbox shots in the future. Oh, and if you want to play tennis on Sydney’s …
