You know when you have those thoughts, they’re great… might be a funny insight, an quick observation, who knows… You want to get it out there, but it’s too long for Twitter, and it’s not exactly long enough to be a “blog post.” What do you do with them? I still write them down, usually [...]

A couple of times now, TheMonkeyBoy has posted a “First & 20″ on his blog. In essence this is a screen shot of your iPhone home screen, and an explanation of the apps you have there and why. I have thought about doing this too, my home screen has been pretty much locked in for at [...]

This past week, I have been lucky enough to be driving a ute loaned to me by Holden. I currently drive a 4door dual cab 4wd ute. It’s a great compromise, it has the storage/load bearing capabilities of a ute, with the seating capacity of a car. I have aways loved utes, and wanted one [...]

Yesterday I posted a Twitpic to Twitter… it got 37 clicks. I then posted a link to the photo on Reddit… it got 23,000 clicks. When used correctly, Reddit is a very powerful website.

Nothing more refreshing than a new theme on your blog… Who am I kidding!? Re-doing your site/blog is more frustrating than enjoyable for me.
