I’m beginning to really enjoy shooting RAW format with my digital SLR, so why am I sad? Read on gentle friend…

Get on your bikely!
Thanks to treadly for the heads-up. This is a really neat little tool. Bikely allows you to map your bicycle route as a google map overlay. It’s so easy, admittedly, I have a very short commute (5.5km.), but it only took me a few mintues to map it on bikely. It would be nice if …
franco cozzo’s big incentive
From the ‘Moreland Leader’ newspaper, May 22, 2006. Franco Cozzo is threatening to give each socceroo a limited edition ‘Venziano’ bed if Australia wins the world cup. How can they lose? I’m sure, his heart is in the right place, though if you’re familiar with him spruiking his furniture on tv, you’d realise he’s always …
tatty going in circles
This is Tatty. She’s growing up, but obviously still very much a kitten. Here she’s whoopin’ it up with her very best toy ever… her tail. Her (adoptive) mother thinks seems to think it’s a sign that a young cat that still chases it’s tail might be a bit backward, but I reckon tail chasing …
the enlightenment?
How long is this Vatican Astronomer going to keep his job? He is quoted by Scotsman.com, dismissing Creationism as ‘a kind of paganism’ and Papal infallability as a “PR Disaster”. In fact, he makes a lot of sense, as opposed to the Creationists, who tend to make very little sense. Found via Boing Boing
worker’s theatre – brilliant!
Last week at the 8 hour day celebration at the University of Melbourne, I became aware of a new production by the Melbourne Workers Theatre; ‘We Built This City’. I wasn’t sure at first, but a song I’d heard at the celebration was brilliant and I just wanted to hear more. Once I’d found the …
My little commute…
It hardly rates as a bicycle commute – only 6.5k and even while I was taking photos, only 20 minutes, but in response to a mild challenge from thingoid, I hereby offer my very modest commute.
the party is definitely over…
One of the most public icons of the Commonwealth Games were the fish on the Yarra. Each night of the games they were lit up and squirted water in a spectacular display. A bit kitsch, but a real crowd pleaser – hundreds of thousands must have watched it. There’s now a bit of a debate …
On a lighter note…
Tonight I joined the latest internet bandwagon, creating a public transport map with all the names scrambled into anagrams. There’s a heap more here at boing-boing. I want to print off a few hundred and give them to visitors at the Commonwealth Games!
another rant!
As a long time BigPond Cable subscriber, I’m used to receiving their self promotional emails. Usually shopping specials I’m not interested in and promotional guff about their content. You see, they have quite a bit of video and music content, but I’ve never used any of that either. Not that I wouldn’t like to, some …
VICROADS’ wasted opportunity
This morning, I visited VICROADS new real time traffic information map, hoping to see something half way useful. I was disappointed! So, I sent them some feedback: Congratulations on the release of your new traffic info service. What an utterly wasted opportunity it represents! Why didn’t you develop a tool using Google’s Map API? Then …
