Costing in excess of $5Million, the University has “refreshed” its logo, updated the website (and changed the url), made us change all of our [...]

Here we sit, watching the the big balloon going up in the sky. Of course, in Sydney it looks more like this:

It’s been a funny year, 2009. I did so many things I’ve not done before, I’ve done other things that I do all the time, and some things I normally do but [...]

Android Vs iPhone

Posted in Polls, on me, on the daily grind on June 26, 2009 | 2 Comments »

So, I’m thinking of getting a new phone, and I’m tossing up between the iPhone and HTC Magic powered by Android.  Most people seem to be suggesting iPhones, but they’re kinda common, and I hate being common.  Someone compared Android to Zune.  I already have an iPod, so I’m not looking for large storage devices.

Annoying

There are many things which have annoyed me of late, and I’ve had this post as a draft, adding and removing things from it. Here are the top four:

The Final Frontier: Everything these days is being referred to as the final frontier. We all remember Star Trek, of course, with its “Space, the [...]

Posted in on homophobia, on homosexuality, on the daily grind, on the government, on the interblahs on May 20, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

So, a week ago, a video began arching towards viral state. It was, of course, a film of Lily Allen’s hit song, “Fuck You”, from her most recent album. And so, with this is mind, here they are:
The American version…

Run off my feet

Posted in on Dan, on living out of home, on me, on my thesis, on the daily grind, on the government, on tutoring, on university, on work on May 6, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

Somehow, I’ve ended up doing everyone else’s job, and not my own. Which has been why I’ve been so slack on the blogging. Sorry everyone…
Here’s a brief run-down of my life:

I’m now heavily involved in the marketing committee for the Faculty I work in, which means I have been designing ways to lure [...]

A Letter

Posted in on living out of home, on the daily grind, on the government, on work on March 13, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

Dear Prime Minister,

I did the test on the ATO website just now and I don’t get the $900 bonus because A-O+G=0. What am I on about? Well…

It’s been a little while since I blogged due to EXTREME busy-ness. Before you think I’ve gone mad, no, I haven’t started doing work for my PhD… that would imply some path towards finishing, and we all know that can’t happen. No, it’s been more a case of things to be done, places [...]

The Longest Wait

Posted in on being unwell, on me, on the daily grind on February 5, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

After the fun of the last time I dealt with Centrelink, I wasn’t keen to go rushing back in there any time soon. However, as my monetary fund trickles down to nothing, any saving would be appreciated.
