One could hardly describe the appearance of this blog as static. I think that I have been through about 5 or 6 themes since I started it in 2007. This new appearance is thanks to a highly customisable Wordpress Theme called Atahualpa and it more the look that I originally intended for my blog back [...]

I don’t drink alcohol and I find it a strange coincidence that two other skeptical bloggers in Perth, both of whom are in my blog roll, are also teetotallers. Just like me neither Kylie at Podblack nor Andy at Thinking is Real drink alcohol. Both talk about the pressure to conform in a society where [...] To a certain extent the whinging pom is a self-perpetuating stereotype since it is impossible to argue against it without appearing to whinge. As a result many of the people to whom the term is applied suffer the insult in silence. Until recently I had not had the term hurled at me since I was [...] Nine months after the release of the Chrome browser Google today announced the development of its Chrome OS.

I opened it and a piece of paper with the following upon it (complete with errors of grammar and punctuation) was enclosed. Dear neighbour, My Wife and I live in the neighbourhood. We have not [...] I have so far refrained from entering the fray of the current world financial problems but having watched, listened and read over the course of the unfolding shambles I thought that it was about time that I set everybody straight with a little bit of Atomac self-opinionated self-righteousness. By now most people are aware that the [...] And so ends another spell of school holidays. The holidays didn’t actually seem to be as long as they appear on paper. The six weeks seem to fly by and aside from getting all of the items on my optimistically long to-do list done I feel I should have achieved more. Particularly in terms of this [...] Across the world an increasing number of parents are opting out of vaccination programs because of fears propagated by misguided, ill-informed and often exploitative individuals and groups that immunisation can cause autism and the diseases that children are being inoculated against. The result is outbreaks of diseases not seen since immunisation almost wiped them out such as [...] |
