I don’t know how many (if any) people read my haphazard bloggings, but I’m going to depart from my normal detachedness from substantial issues and do some out loud thinking…
My research job revolves around one main premise - “find information”. Since I’ve worked at CWiMI I have found information on many, many issues. […]
So I was sitting in the doctor’s surgery today and some cable tv was hum-drumming along in the background. After a few moments, I realised that it was a FOX interview from the States with an Israeli ambassador and unknown interviewer. Now, didn’t they give an even-handed description of the current Israeli-Lebanon situation…

With a small amount of introspection, I can tell that my personal beliefs on a number of topics have changed over the last 18 months. The depth and potential duration of these changes will be seen in coming years…

The thought just struck me but I think I might go for a fossicking weekend/holiday sometime in the near-mid future. If anyone thinks they would like to walk around in the heat and bush in the hope of finding some rocks, drop me a line…it’d be fun.

So imagine my surprise when I boot up GEarth for the first time in a while and see improved resolution for parts of Australia, including {drumroll} Bonny Hills…wow! Finally, I […]
I’m sure this is floating round the internet in a ton of places but this is the first time I’ve seen it so it’s possible you haven’t seen it yet either.

The crew of 22 Seventh Ave have had their annual shindig.
