You probably can't see it in this picture, but there was hella frosty smoke like air floating around in our flight cabin when we boarding our plane for Avalon tonight, this was the best picture I could get of it without making people really nervous, it would seem doing anything from the norm on a plane makes people think you are a potential terrorist.

At the "B" mans house while he was cooking us delicious japanese dinner and then playing us the new BSG movie, choice bro. I would like a nice TV like this.

My birthday down again for another year, big thanks goes to astro for making it so special. Another shout out to my man from bluesuit, you always remember, thanks so much.

Here is hoping this next year of my life brings more of the good times I've had this year.

Waiting outside our local pizza joint for the dinnars.

This photo wasn't the nicest one, but I liked the whole ghostly arm thing going on with the guy cleaning the table.

Taken at Martin Place on my way to Bondi Junction to see my Maxillofacial Surgeon, after 12 years of initially thinking about getting treated for it, I am not finally starting the whole consultation process again to have it finally done.

I took this photo because the esculatrs reminded my of being back in Pariliment station in Melbourne.

Currently reading this for work, "Mobile Web Design" by Cameron Moll. An e-book someone bought for our research phase at work, it is a pretty good insight into the whole mobile web thing, I'd recommend it for anyone that wants to take some a large/medium scale commercial/retail website and try and decihper the best way of translating that into a best practice mobile web experience.

Even just read these articles that he has posted on his page about mobile web design 101 to see if your interested, these articles actually form a part of one of the chapters in this book.

I realise while I've been reading this that I really am falling behind in knowing some of the cutting edge stuff for web development/design. Something I use to be really interested in when I was younger, I guess I need to get my arse back into gear and get knee deep in it, particually if I want to ride out the rest of my grad program being of some use.

Picture taken at the start of the carols by candlelight astro and I went to tonight in Victoria Park. I had a nice night, never really been to a CBC before but I can see why people go, still don't like the whole linking it to religon thing, but I guess you can't avoid it since all these songs are sort of about this guy jesus, or god, or santa, the holy trinity?

They had some pretty decent fireworks at the end of it too. We then proceeded to head to astros brothers local and get smashed, off about 3 beers, what light weights.

So on the way home, the Village People.

Yeah it is Christmas party time of the year.

I was looking at it today during my afternoon break that I often take at 3:30 when I can, need to give my damn eyes a rest, anyway I was standing here thinking "1777 to 1837, that isn't very long" Then I realise it is 60 years and that is a fair slog, then I thought "1970 whatever to 2007 feels longer" but of course it isn't, then I though I bet when he lived through the turn of the century I bet he thought that seems like a bloody long time. Anyway I don't know where I am going with this, point is, numbers can be decieving.

Cause you wanna know what I cooked for dinner. Broccoli, Tomato and Basil Frittata. I don't know what it is these days, but i love broccoli. Imagine asking me to even try it 4 years ago and I would have run screaming from the room!

Every night, cat tells me on meebo all about how he is going to kill everyone in Melbourne, and I mean EVERYONE.

A shot of my current desk, the joys of work. My phone takes weird shots under the light in the office, this was the best shot I could get, yet it looks like i smudged vasoline all over the lense.

Honka de honk, here is astro's little kettle bbq she bought cause we were all keen to have a a bbq. Tried to light it for about an hour with heat bead things that said they didn't require any other fuel to start up and burn, they were so WRONG!

HONK! Christmas cookies!

Today is the continuation of serps picture blog of meeting rooms.

Sometimes I look out the window in meetings, and see the Sydney tower thing and for a split second I think I am living in Seattle. Which could have been true this afternoon with the overcast weather and then extremely fierce thunderstorm.

So this morning it was basically flooding outside my house, acros the road on the right is the corner for my usual bus stop. The rain was so bad today that the bus trip took an extra 30 minutes, the driver had to drive at almost walking pace to see out the front of the window and to stop aqua planing down the road. He almost rammed up the arse of another bus when he got too excited and drove fast cause the rain halted for a brief moment.

Wednesday 5th of December 2007

Fuck! I forgot to upload my photo yesterday, but the important thing is that I did take one! A boring one though, more meetings, this one includes a friggin' giant oval desk!

Taken from the drinks I had after work for the grad environment project thingy I was working on. I had such nice people in my group, I am so glad I got to spend a bit of time with them talking about life at my workplace and other random things.

The image I took makes it look like the middle of the day instead of 8:30pm at night!

The bus from hell....

Ok so there were no demons or anything like that, but the bus trip home tonight took forever and was packed. The bus driver opened his doors at every stop even though the bus was full, people got on and argued with him about where the bus was going, how much he charged them and all paid in cash which seemed to be stored in a part of their pants/bag which was harder to get into than Fort Knox. Stupid.

Then the bus driver was so behind time he was doing crazy swerves to get all over the road to make up time, but ended up making decisions that cost more time.

50 minutes later I was glad to get out in the big wet rain.

So this is some giant "block party" thing some Christian group puts on across the road from our apartments regularly. I use to think these guys were pretty cultish and hard line born again christians or something but the more I see them the more I think they are just into the random acts of kindness thing. Nearly every Saturday they hand out bottles of water and some little lolly pack thing to people passing by on the road. They don't try to give you the hard sell, well, maybe they do but I haven't experienced it yet. I think it's great that a chruch group will do this stuff without getting all scientologist/mormon on you. Random acts of kindness will probably get the right people interested in your religon in the end.

Shame you can't see the fine print in this ad I saw in a store today. But basically the jist of it was that you sms that code, then you recieve a code back via WAP/GPRS or whatever, then you have to surf to a website via WAP and use the code to purchase your shoes... That isn't exactly making it easy for your customers, and who wants to puchase sneakers from a WAP site? Give customers a bit of choice people.
