hmmm

According to ofaust I write like Lewis Carroll,

Since he’s one of my favourite authors I’m not unpleased with that result…

Back to school

I’ve been to University a lot. My original undergraduate degree, and two post-graduate degrees. (A Grad cert in Management and a Masters in Communication). When I finished the last one I swore that was it – I was never going back…

Turns out – I lied.

I’ll be starting my new degree in February – a Juris Doctor at UTS. It’ll take me about 5 years, part-time but at the end I’ll be able to be admitted to the bar.

Which will make a nice change from getting thrown out of bars.

Closing the desert

A Drop Bear in its natural habitat

One of the responsibilities of all Australians is to warn overseas tourists about the many dangers that await them in our fair country, the risks of drop bears, snakes. crocodiles, serial killers,  and last but not least the desert…

So, this year the South Australians are closing their desert to protect tourists,

The Simpson Desert is one of the most fascinating, majestic places in Australia, but in the middle of summer it’s also one of the harshest and the least hospitable areas, and potentially one of the most unforgiving, dangerous places.

Which is nice – means there will be more tourists in Adelaide, and we all know how safe that is…

No Clean Feed

Many Australians by now are aware of Senator Stephen “Won’t someone think of the Children” Conroy’s plan for ISP filtering for anything that concerns the Australian Government.

While they started out telling us there would be an “opt out” option it now transpires it won’t be a true “opt out” as there will be some things that the government will still stop you seeing (purely for your own good of course).

That pisses me off

So – if it pisses you off here’s what you can do

Write to Senator Conroy

Senator Stephen Conroy
Minister for Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy
Level 4, 4 Treasury Place
Melbourne Vic 3002

Write to your local member

Check out No Clean Feed

Talk to other people about this – get them to write to Senator Conroy.

You get the idea.

Not only does Daylight savings put the hens off the lay

It apparently also causes drought

I’ve said it before – and no doubt I’ll say it again – I couldn’t make this stuff up.
