Last week I posted about a story on channel Seven’s “Sunday Night” program on the issue of vaccination.
I was impressed with the story, it was well written, backed by science and about as unbiased as  commercial networks get on a prime time current affairs style program. ( 60 Minutes, I’m staring at you buddy. )

Back in the 80’s Australia was pushing to become “The Clever Country”, recognising the importance of a well educated populace (and hence workforce) in securing a bright future for the entire nation.
Roll forward nearly thirty years to the current day, how well educated and “clever” are we now??
The “Internets” are abuzz these days with debate [...]

I’ve been meaning to try this for a while now, making cheeseymite scrolls that is.
Armed with our trusty bread machine and a 10kg bag of breadmix I decided to see if I could come up with something yummy for lunch.

I know I’m starting rather late but I decided to show my support for "Breast Cancer Awareness Month" by changing my site to something a little more pink.

In case you couldn’t be arsed reading the article, Sony in their infinite wisdom require windows users to use a special media player to play their CDs in a windows box, [...]

I’m sorry for the strong language people but this is getting beyond a joke.
I read a post on boingboing today that really pissed me off.
Up until now Hollywood has been doing everything in their power to lock down digitial content. We’ve all said to ourselves, we can always record the analog output and re-digitise it [...]

I hope the various organisations that give out grants don’t stumble onto this site…
The Ig Nobel Web Page
Amazingly, these people actually do this stuff for a living.
Next time your boss lectures you on the importance of commercially focused work, think of what can happen when you let people research anything they like… It’s a sobering [...]

A few days ago it was announced that UPN will be cancelling Star Trek Enterprise at the end of the current season.
Fan groups are trying to rally support to keep it going, see this link for details.
