Triple J, the only decent Australian radio station have begun playing the Chemical Brothers song “The Salmon Dance” a lot.
It is incredibly catchy, and pretty funny. After hearing it, I wanted to check out the video. Lo and behold, here it is:

Awesome.

The 2007 AFL Grand Final is coming up this weekend, and I’m in the right place to soak up the buzz - Adelaide.
The two teams competing in the Grand Final are Port Adelaide “Power” and Geelong “Cats”.
What’s AFL?
This is mostly for the world-wide visitors to this site. If you’re an Aussie, just skip this [...]

As always, I discovered something quite by accident. When I wrote the first ever post in this great blog, I mentioned that I was getting out of the UK because of the racist cretins who live there moaning about “the bloody Polish” and “benefit cheats”, amongst other things.

After a little bit of blogging about sending thank-you notes online, a comment I left was picked up, and run with, about whether your parents, or grandparents, would approve of the stuff you’re doing on the internet. See it here.

I check my Google Analytics every now and again and it is often funny to see what people have been searching for when they get onto some of my websites. This website throws up the strangest variations, probably due to the fact that we write about pretty much everything, and that the site does well [...]

Northern Rock’s monetary woes seemed more than just a little suspicious to me. One day, news was leaked out that Northern Rock had applied for emergency guarantees from the Bank of England and the British Government. The ensuing 40% slump in the share value of Northern Rock would have enabled any hawkish buyers to take [...]

Life has been pretty busy over the past couple of weeks, as we’ve moved into yet another house, got some low-key work, and been involved with a few more web projects. Here is a brief run-down of the latter:
