we had a few queries from people asking whether copies of the images we used at the solstice are up for sale… and now they are! I’ve put all the images into 2 low res pdfs here: solsticeweb and solsticeweb2 [about 4mb each], but if you’d like to see one in a higher res, let [...]

Today’s task is to finish re-tagging and re-categorising every post on this blog… i’m half way through [i spent six hours on it yesterday / last night]… There is reason for the madness [a new blog / website that's about to launch]… but it’s one of those things that if you know how crappy a [...]

Rob left a comment on a previous post asking if we organise an australian get-together at greenbelt. we do do that, but it’s not in a highly organised way – the group that Nic and I take normally decide to make a time and place each day to touch base and have a drink or [...]

Tonight’s most surreal moment was before the service when [...]

Education at the Edges presenter, National Union of Students International Research Officer, Sharon Smith, last year highlighted that over 70% of international students studying in Australia don’t get a public transport concession. She talked about this being seen by most people in the education sector as being highly discriminatory. Victoria has legislated to make it illegal in Victoria to provide a student visa holder with apublic transport concession. To contrast, easygoing Tasmania allows all tertiary students a concession – they don’t negatively discriminate in this area.

I had a meeting near Kinglake today. As i was driving up the hill they were saying on the radio that the bushfire cleanup had finally been completed. It was weird hearing that and driving past this…

It was even weirder that just around that bend was the council sign saying ‘check your fire alarms and [...]
