Goddess: Divine Energy, at the Art Gallery

Last weekend we were lucky to get free tickets to the Goddess Divine Energy exhibition at the Art Gallery, NSW featuring Hinduism, Buddhism, Tantra, Chakras, Yantras, Mantras and Mandalas. It was absolutely fascinating and one could clearly see the effort that had been made to put this whole presentation together as some of the stone [...]

Gave in to my minty update again!

Gave in to my minty update again!

Very shamelessly, yet again… I gave in to my minty lusty last night. Yes, yet again. Mint version 2 works a charm and is a lot faster than its predecessor. Smooth ola-la rounded corners, row hovers, diagonal hatch separators, and overall a lot more readable interface than before. Here is a quick run down of [...]

Bushfires start to ease off

Although its not as hot as it was yeterday but fresh spot fires in west Pymble, north Turramurra, south Berowra, and parts of Mount Ku-rin-gai played havoc stashing away 900 hectares of bushland! Fortunately there hasn’t been any property damage. F3 has been paralysed most of today and the Pacific Highway has been closed off [...]

Bushfires in Mount Ku-ring-gai

The temperature in Hornsby reached a sweltering 41°C soon after midday. Extremely hot and sultry!! Unbearable! Luckily most knew it was going to be a hot day and were prepared. But no one was prepared for the bushfires right down here so close at Mount Ku-ring-gai. The scary bit… I am not too far from [...]

Test Drive

Test Drive

So we went car shopping last night… there was this nice little Volkswagen Polo, small, blue, cute, advertised through a private sale. Looked practically unused (on the web), or a rather well maintained seldom driven car. We had our eyes on it… and we were going to go give it a whirl. Booked. Appointment made.

Do you complain about the quality and chores of your life everyday? Chances are you do to a degree. We write that off as ‘being human’ and perhaps it truly is, but have you ever paused to think about some of the less fortunate people, those that live in this very human society of yours [...]

Whats your best mac receipe app?

Oh such a lovely weekend went by so quick again… from the lovely huge meatosaurian meals at Ribs and Rumps to the very home cooked BBQ with friends… don’t weekends roll on too fast? Now speaking of food and trying out good receipes… thought I’d try some of the software that is available for mac. [...]

Ribs and Rumps experience

Ribs and Rumps experience

When was your last Ribs and Rumps experience? Well ours was almost a year back… a special treat from D when I had arrived back from my US sojourn. We sat in their cute retro booth and eat like two happy little mudlarks gnawing every bit of morsel. It was finger licking good. D’lish! And [...]

I want the revolutionary iPhone

I want the revolutionary iPhone

…real bad Better still I could grab one when we’re in the US in a few months time but will it be compatible in Australia? Am guessing the short answer for now is NO. But it will be in the near future. The internets abuzz with iPhone. I’d rather not bore you with my analysis [...]

Welcome 2007, Goodbye 2006

Welcome 2007, Goodbye 2006

Christmas came and went all too quick. Gusty cold currents from the Antarctic south landed snow in parts of Tasmania and even right down at Victoria where many bushfires were ablaze at the same time. It has been a bizarre summer, anything but hot and sultry baring a few occasional days when the humidity soared. [...]
