Who needs a CV? It's too easy for people to lie on a CV, sometimes it's the only way to be competitive; I won't play the game, here's my latest achievements.
I attended OSDC’s conference from the 25th to the 27th of November 2009. A great experience, learning, interacting where tech and philosophy mingle.
After painfully seeing good leads go elsewhere due to failures in my skype based phone routing and evil, evil ungrateful customer service from them I have decided to go with something more serious, sophisticated, and agile: enter Asterisk free PBX or “trixbox”. For the last few weeks I have turned an old computer into a [...]
Out of love for my home country - Australia, I've completed a new website eschewing its ideals via the Australian National Anthem: Advance Australia Fair...
Just started the Freedom of Communication project: because controlling communication in the future IS controlling thought. Keep it free and accessible.

Just a simple one this time, but now I use it in almost every website search field I make.
A client was looking for a solution to seamlessly zoom into images on a website, look no further
Adventures
in kTown and beyond. Life is meant to be enjoyed, learning is great, here's how I get along in that department.
Yeah well I like to party, here’s some pizza and bread on a saturday; you need those carbs for the winter ahead:) Mas Vino aye!
Finally signed this contract, so small celebration. Tasty Thai meal @ Beams Rd, Taigum can’t really go wrong here – tasty, and reasonably priced.
So I’ve asked and it’s not just me, “big” macs have got smaller in Australia, and not just a bit, a lot! The McDonald’s chickie said that it’s to standardise them internationally. Well now I know it’s crap value in any language. Seriously the ACCC should stop them from calling it “big” and make them [...]
One pot of xxxx Gold from last night. Had a meeting in Rugby Square Eagle St, Brisbane Marketing / The Bureau. Met a few good people, of note, a cool Brazilian chap named Marco. Afterwards met Laurita at the more demure Omally’s, Queen St. Mall for a few more “light” beers, check out this foamy sucker.
Sunday morning was beautiful, crisp, and cold. Waking up early it’s a really nice thing to have a coffee with the warm air billowing over the shiny floorboards. After seeing Wog Boy only last night we decided to see Wog Boy 2, Kings of Mykonos. It was alright, very funny in parts, but was a [...]
Laurita made me some Eggs Benedict – as requested she’s good!
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HW7463I2plk I rock at rock climbing! No pun intended:) This is at the Morayfield Anaconda store, it’s pretty cool, for a few dollars they strap you up and you can see how fast you can get to the top
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kuFCFoTIJuc For Laurita’s birthday I took her for a Ride through Brisbane on the Citycat and then to a restaurant, lovely
Today, overcast and frigid a few hundred thousand Brisbanites clambered over the new Gateway Bridge to commemorate the new concrete span which crosses the Brisbane River. Free council buses ferried people to and from the bridge, the Rotary Club, Lions Club, and Variety Club held their food stalls, and police stood around with bomb sniffing [...]
Beans ahaha
My latest readings, viewings, how they might affect me, and what I thought about them.
- I was almost afraid to read this, but it’s a great insight. http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/4.02/jobs.html?pg=8&topic=
- Good on them I say https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2010/05/youtube-ustube-creators-explain-why-you-should
- I find the easiest way to to tell arial apart from heletica is that in any lowercase letters that end in curved sections, ie acefgjrsty are different: arial ends them at angles, and helvetica ends them straight. http://ilovetypography.com/2007/10/06/arial-versus-helvetica/
- Interesting article:) http://www.ms-studio.com/articles.html
- People say that Arial is the clone of Helvetica, but I disagree, I think it’s one of them kids that is the uncle to a kid older than him. Grotesque -> Helvetica -> Arial http://www.ms-studio.com/articlesarialsid.html
- It’s mostly correct but then fails epically by putting everyone in the same basket, some people have moral/ethical or other reasons for buying and aren’t branded at all. http://www.gizmodo.com.au/2010/06/fanboyism-and-brand-loyalty/#more-400337

Seeds are the muse.
- Humans are pretty intelligent but what gives AI hope is that our bodies impose limits on our intelligence which aren’t imposed on parageographical neural systems. we WILL develop machines that are even more intelligent than us, and that is a scary thought: being told by a machine what is good for us, if indeed they [...]
- Factory of Factories. Isn’t my smile enough? Is my charm not sufficient? Or should I capture your imagination? A place of Internet and trucks Is the new world. If Byron or Tennyson or Keats were here theyd’ve failed to capture the imaginations of next years revolutionaries by writing about myspace last year Facebook this year [...]

- Time is a record pushing a record needle home before it would naturally get there by spinning Stress is like a record skipping – the music isn’t enjoyable but that’s okay if the point is returning the needle to the centre. Stress is social preservation to the detriment of the individual… like a bee’s sting? [...]
- I'm Mc Loving it! Whipped this little picture up, Just wondering if anyone has been to a Mc Church lately, you know what I mean, so brand aware that they forgot what they're getting people in for.
- I am well intrigued by the way the mind works, especially when it comes to trying to emulate the processes of the mind, and there is none more mystical, and perplexing than how we categorise things, categorising seems to me to be the highest skill imaginable in a human, it seems to be the most [...]
- I know that we will have artificial intelligence very soon, in fact intelligence which far surpasses our own intelligence, and that it’s possible, because everything humans learn, and express come in through a binary encodable nerve signal, take place in a 3d physical chemical reaction and go out through a binary encodable nerve signal, computers [...]
- State education is nothing but a hedge, it has never been in the interest of the individual tree, no growth that is outstanding is fostered, no brilliance is allowed, in fact the highest plants are trimmed back to the standard of the smallest continually. State education is up there with lobotomies, chinese foot binding, involuntary [...]
- Ubiquitous religion is the hallmark of every mature nation, anything less is inefficient to the goals of those in power. Whatever becomes of the west, I know two things, a) there WILL rise a state religion, b) It will be powerful enough to create miracles through science and mystery.
- Am I any worse if I fail than what I stay if I never try?
