Duma Key by Stephen King

June 22nd, 2008

I have just finished Duma Key and I must say, I think King is back in his groove.

His last couple of books, while not bad, were not the ‘cannot put down’ type. With Duma Key, he draws you into the story and makes you connect with his characters.

Well worth a read Muchacho

Schneier on Security: The War on Photography

June 6th, 2008

Bruce Schneier talking about a topic close to my heart.

“Don’t cede your right to photograph in public. Don’t propagate the terrorist photographer story. Remind them that prohibiting photography was something we used to ridicule about the USSR. Eventually sanity will be restored, but it may take a while.”

Kathy and Gerry’s visit (in February!)

May 19th, 2008

My cousin Kathy and and her husband Gerry visited earlier this year. We had a nice meal up on Mount Cootha and then went to the New Farm markets the next morning.

I especially like the 5th picture where Nell and Kathy are buying some snake oil wonder cream!

Hero’s Graduation

May 17th, 2008

Nell has been sponsoring Guide dogs for a few years now, and she has finally had one graduate and become a guide dog. We were invited to Government House where our Governor Quinten Bryce handed out the awards.

Nell and her Mom had a quick tour of the Governor’s private quarters before realising I had dropped them at the wrong door. :)

Australian Marine Conservation Society - Shark Finning More Information

May 5th, 2008

This is just so wrong it is unbelievable. I honestly think that someone has heard something incorrectly and it is all a mistake.

I cannot believe that in this day and age anyone would think this is a reasonable fishing practise. It should be outlawed in all Australian waters.
