In case you haven’t heard, it’s Opposite Week in Australia.  Adelaide United are sitting on top of the A-League and the New Yorker ran an article about how Julia Gillard could teach Barack Obama a thing or two about public speaking.  ‘What on Earth is going on?’ you might well ask. Well, the past couple of months have not been ...

A month ago, Jen and I had a picnic in the park with some friends.  When we went to the grocery store to pick up some food for the day, we had to cater for the following dietary requirements:- a vegetarian, something suitable for a pregnant woman, a gluten-free meal and a lactose-free meal.  Pregnant friend aside, these other dietary ...

Mitt Romney finally struck a successful blow in his campaign for the presidency on Tuesday night when he was unanimously declared the winner of the first debate against Barack Obama.  The topic of the night was domestic policy, with the economy and healthcare being the two big ticket items up for discussion.  Romney trotted out the same lies that he ...

When the Canadian Broadcasting Company wanted to cover the Mitt Romney Chipotle photo, they wrote an article about how it was received on the Internet.  They sourced some reactions from all usual trend setters on the web – Reddit, DailyKos and…edotherocket’s twitter feed.   Source:  http://www.cbc.ca/news/yourcommunity/2012/10/romneys-photo-op-at-chipotle-turns-into-a-meme.html

Pictures on the campaign trail are always some of the best things to come out of the long running election season.  For Obama, there’s a bunch of neat images to be found at The White House Flickr page. Meanwhile, Mitt Romney’s campaign made an unscheduled stop at Chipotle. Tomorrow morning, the first of the Presidential debates!

It looks pretty damn great.  I like the cheeky upsell at the end that encourages you to buy two of them. Also…rumours are mounting that the next modular building is going to be ‘Palace Cinema.’  Hopefully we’re not too far off from an official announcement.

A-League Season Eight Five months is a long time in Australian football.  The 2011/12 season of the Hyundai A-League probably won’t be remembered as one of the better seasons for the game.  Although I’m happy my team Brisbane Roar successfully defended their title, the season was beset by administrative problems.  Gold Coast United became the second team in successive seasons ...

“In a hole in the ground, there lived a hobbit.” With Peter Jackson’s film adaptation of The Hobbit just a few short months away, I thought it would be a good time to revisit the novel to get a refresher course on Bilbo Baggins and his adventures with the Company to retrieve a mountain of gold from the dragon Smaug. ...
