It just occurred to me that people reading this website in a feed reader may be missing half the action: the rather excellent comments (and the dodgy ones too). So, a reminder. Apart from the RSS feed of the posts, there’s also a feed of the comments. And if you have no idea what that means, well… I was going to link to an explanation but all those I found were too geeky.
Thanksgiving With the Kranzes
Yeah OK, it was mentioned in the comments, but the movie Thanksgiving With the Kranzes deserves its own post. It’s a superb satire on Ron Howard’s Apollo 13. 18 minutes well spent. And it ties in nicely with my posts about the oven crash and failure IS an option. Now back to work…
Oven crashes: technology gone mad
Last night I had to re-boot the oven because it had crashed. I only wanted to grill a couple of tomatoes for our dinner. Does it really require that amount of computational complexity?
Big Strong Daddy pulls rabbit from hat
That’s just straight-up racism, Mr Howard!
Prime Minister John Howard rides his white horse into Aboriginal Australia to save the kiddies. Yes, banning pornography will prevent child sexual abuse, apparently — despite a complete lack of evidence to support that idea. Despite the fact that whities committing sexual abuse against white kids won’t have pornography banned in their communities. And despite JWH being on the record as saying he’s opposed to censorship of any kind. Just how many ways can you be a complete hypocrite in the one news story?

I should mention that most of my photos I’ve been posting here lately have been taken with my Nokia N80 Nseries “multimedia phone”. Not too foul for a camera with a lens the size of a burst pimple.
