Jesus is destined for great things

So I spent a couple more days hanging out with Jesus recently and I’ve come to be surprised by how much he accomplished as a child. I found out that when he was around 8 or 9 years old he made it onto the kids show “Saturday Disney” for his ability to mimic Michael Jackson’s [...]

A letter to the Vatican

A letter to the Vatican

Dear Vatican Overlords,
My brother recently tried to have his son baptised to become a member of the Catholic Church; however, he was totally deterred by the arduous process and political constraints you have put on your recruitment procedure.
Firstly, he approached several churches looking to get his son baptised at these locations (based on personal preference) [...]

True web accessibility for the Issmeister

True web accessibility for the Issmeister

Over the many years that I have been surfing the internet, it has become relatively clear that websites have made leaps and bounds in accessibility; negating the early issues which made it hard for the average user to navigate through a site. These days there are things they call “best practices” for usability and accessibility [...]

Easter at the pub

I just got back from spending a lovely Easter at the pub with Dave and Will. We started our Easter drinking festivities at 3pm and finished at roughly 12:30 in the morning (kind of now). This, I believe, was a fair effort on behalf of all participating in this lovely Easter festival. I am still [...]

My friend Jesus

My friend Jesus

I have known Jesus since high school. He was a really switched on kid back then. I knew something was up when he decided to drop out of his Law/Psychology double degree and talk about strange things. It turns out my friend Jeremy (who believes he is Jesus) has been diagnosed with mild schizophrenia but [...]

Queensland Art Gallery – GOMA

I recently took a lovely trip to the Queensland Art Gallery – Gallery of Modern Art (GOMA). I have been living in Brisbane for years and years and never knew this place existed until a few weeks ago. This is bad for a couple of reasons:

I enjoy the vibrant colours and mesmerising patterns which are [...]

Website facelifts for April Fools

Website facelifts for April Fools

Well it’s coming up to April 1st and there have been sites which have made changing their pages to something comedic for April fools somewhat of a tradition (whirlpool broadband forums for example). These guys always find a way each year to surprise me with their witty charm and cleverness. I think it’s a great [...]

Cashing in on dog personification

Cashing in on dog personification

Probably the largest and most fascinating natural evolution of the human civilization has been the way we interact with other species of the animal kingdom. Looking back a few generations; there are noticeable changes in the way we perceive domesticated animals.  We were once called “Pet Owners”. Now we are called “Pet Parents” and it’s [...]

Do you impulse purchase a certain product type?

Do you impulse purchase a certain product type?

Recent discussions with friends and family have made me realise that I have a slight problem with impulse purchasing from certain stores. These stores are WOW, Clive Peters, The Good Guys, Harvey Norman and the biggest culprit; JB HiFi. All these stores have one thing in common and that is the vending of electrical goods.
I [...]

What’s the time? It’s QLD voting time YAY! Politics YAY!

Oh the joys of voting! Everyone who knows me knows that I hate the concept of politics. It’s the biggest hypocrisy of human civilization. “Hey let’s make some rules and policies to better life for everyone and move towards equality….but I’m the king pin and get more”. When I hear politics, I hear power struggle [...]
