Macbook Hot Air
With the usual fanfare Apple has released it's latest offering, the Macbook Air. This latest offering is intended to compete in the Ultra Portable market by being a thin, light laptop. But in my view, it's just another disappointing attempt at hardware by Apple. I love their OS with all my heart, but when it comes to hardware, Apple is fashion over ( Read more... ) -
Have Pride (cause we might not for much longer)
As most people in the GLBT community in Perth would know, Pride (our equivilant of Sydney's Mardi Gras) is in serious financial trouble. The much publicised special general meeting was held last night to try to come up with some way forward and it was something of an interesting experience.

Enter, SpazzStick, the caffeinated lip balm. No, I'm really not kidding. For the gay geek/clubber in all of us. It actually can give you quite a kick too ( Read more... ) -
Random Impulse Purchase
I don't generally make impulse purchases. However, on the weekend, having seen a good bargain, I decided to splash out.
I fly out for Singapore in 10 days. It'll be the first time I've left the country in 20 years. -
