You would be forgiven given my post “Why I’m not buying an iPad, but don’t let that stop you” and the fact that I am writing this on my iPad that I am weak in my resolve and perhaps you may be right.

I am pleased to announce to the world that we are the proud parents of a son, Oscar Harry Upfold born 9:14 this morning.
He weighs 3.5 kg (7 lb 11 oz) and is [...]
According to reports coming in yesterday Apple sold 300,000 iPads during the weekend. An impressive quantity of units by anyone’s measure. While it stands to be seen how sales develop from here on in it is an encouraging sign.

The AVN (Australian Vaccination Network) have been a popular target of skeptical comment recently since Channel 7 produced an episode of [...]
As the day progressed yesterday we closeted ourselves in our room watching Russian music television and Kath started to get ready while I read my book.
The wind howled outside, but it was too late to think about postponing the wedding. It was going on despite the weather. At 6:30 we made our way up the hill [...]
With the end of daylight saving in Western Australia this weekend the people of Western Australia are set to vote in roughly six weeks on this surprisingly divisive and emotive topic and so it is time for me to weigh in with my 2 penneth worth.
