Just look at those stats! St. Albans hadn’t lost a match in four years, but last Saturday their run finally came to an end. The Pascoe Vale Girls ran their legs off, and despite a fast finish with the wind, St. Albans fell short. That “E. Harris” is a bit of a talent too 😉

Hugh Riminton gets upstaged
One of those “see it but don’t believe it” moments on 6pm with George Negus. Hugh Riminton starts his presentation from Washington when a dog cruises by in the background… on a skateboard! The rest of the family looked at me like I was crazy, but I wasn’t the only one to see it!
all that water
When it comes to big events like the recent floods in Queensland and Victoria, it’s information overload. The news organisation love it, broadcasting incessantly and devoting great slabs of print to it. I don’t want to add to that, so this post is just a scrapbook of, for me, the most striking images. These are …
online vs aussie retailers: the final word?
Trust the folk at NMA World Edition to explain the story in just 90 hilarious seconds!
google maps announce an update
Wow! so much to post about all of a sudden. Google have just announced an update to their streetmap data, adding new streets in the rapidly expanding areas of our cities. Yay! I mean it is exciting, in fact, I think it’s the first update to the map data since they released it! Well, at …
unhappy with your interest rate?
Try switching browsers!… well, it might work! I just saw this one from downloadsquad.com in my feed reader and it’s true!! Visit http://www.capitalone.com/autoloans/ using Google Chrome and you get one rate (that’s it on the left), but use Firefox (on the right) and you get a much more attractive rate! I have no idea why …
Cycling with wildlife
Just wanted to share a little ‘magic moment’, I encountered on the way home last night. Riding up Royal Parade with the commuter peloton when, stopped at the lights, I noticed a woman on the footpath poking and peering at her bike. I was about to ask whether she needed a hand, when someone behind …
magpie love
Yes, it was a great day for the pies and nice to finally stick it to all the detractors, after all, I think these two ardent fans have all their teeth intact!
baby, it’s cold!
Google are having fun again! Releasing StreetView Images of Antarctica is just brilliant. The bit I really love though, is that the little yellow Pegman becomes a penguin. Just too cute!
the mighty magpie
This is my mate Harry. I meet him on the way home sometimes. Sometimes he surprises me, but tonight I saw him ‘interacting’ with someone ahead of me, so I was ready – even had time to get the iPhone out and ready in movie mode! I love magpies. The football team and the birds! …
bear’s weedy bastard twin
Bear Grylls just posted a message to twitter about the trailer to his new season of Man v Wild. I like Bear, the show gets a bit monotonous and I wish he wouldn’t kill animals when he clearly doesn’t need to, but this latest trailer moved him into far more ridiculous territory. As I watched …
father and son
Lance Armstrong’s steely glare might not be seen on Le Tour again, but any aspiring cyclists should beware that he’s passed it on to someone else… Saw this photo (right) of Lance and his son Max on the Livestrong website, and was immediately reminded of the celebrated Armstrong ‘look’*. Peas in a pod eh?
