Notes on Melbourne

So I’ve been in Melbourne for nearly three weeks. What do I think? That question sort of carries with it the assumption that I think at all. There is also a hidden implication because of the context that I have thought about Melbourne at some stage during my almost-three weeks here. Truth is, I...

Realpolitik

There is an Australian election coming up on the 21st of August, which is exactly four weeks away. I am considering becoming involved in some way. You see, I’m not very happy with the way the world is, nor am I happy with the direction in which it is going. I would like to...

World Cup Rant

I’m just going to warn everyone now, this is going to be one of my least-coherent rants to date. It is sometimes said that I have a “soft spot” for sport, and this is largely true. Why is this the case? I’m certainly not the typical “jock” and I’m not the sort of person...

Obligatory Rant

Obligatory Rant

It’s that time of the year again, and I am once again in a reflective mood about the state of the world in which we live. That state, to put it mildly, is “not good”. We are rapidly headed towards a nasty collision with mother nature and the worst part about it, is that...

Truth Behind the Shutter: Advanced Topics

Curiously enough, I still get asked a lot about things relating to photography. In the previous two installments of “Truth Behind the Shutter” I went over some of the basics of how I go about taking my photographs. Most of the explanation contained in those accounts was of a technical nature (if you want...

Musings on Torrents

Torrents are wonderful things. For those who are unfamiliar (and it is entirely possible to be unfamiliar yet still be a regular user), torrents are a system by which files are shared over a network of computers. If the Internet is the era-defining black swan of our generation, then torrents are the cargo trucks...

Get Lucky

Get Lucky

“The man who said I would rather be lucky than good saw deeply into the world” The line is the first uttered in Woody Allen’s film “Match Point” which, while a great film, is not a good first-date movie (a quick perusal of the synopsis of the plot will reveal why). It deals with...

Leaving New York

“I might’ve lived my life in a dream, but I swear this is real” ~ R.E.M. (from Leaving New York) New York is a very special place. It doesn’t take a genius to figure that out, but it also has a very special personal significance to me. There are a handful of events in...

Earth Day

Earth Day

It has come to my attention that today is Earth Day… or perhaps it was yesterday, or the day before. In fact, it may have been the case that all three days were “Earth Days” which seems a little silly, or perhaps I got it wrong and it is actually Earth Week. When I...

Penultimate Post

About a week ago, the speed skating season came to an end with the world allround championships in Heerenveen. Josh Lose skated in those championships and didn’t skate particularly well, owing to being slightly ill. Despite performing poorly in the regional qualifier, and believing himself to have not qualified, he got a call three...
