You’ve probably heard by now — in Moscow, suicide bombers have killed at least 35 people, and have injured 51. There’s not much I can do but offer sympathies and condolences to those involved. While I recognise that the motivations for the attack are primarily political (tinged a bit with religious flavour), I can’t help [...]

…I just checked the stats for yesterday and saw a pretty decent spike, mostly referred from either Catherine’s blog or coming to look at my review of the show. If you’re still around, do check out some of my other posts — among other things I write a fair bit on secularism and atheism, and [...]

If you didn’t attend last week’s Q&A session with Fiona Patten, you missed out on something great. Fiona gave a talk that was extremely interesting (if a bit unnerving), and her political party — The Sex Party — is definitely on its way up, with impressive political stances on censorship, human rights and sexual freedom [...]

Tonight was a very, very fun night. Bellekitten and I managed to get along to see Catherine Deveny’s show at the Comedy Festival, God Is Bullshit, That’s The Good News. If you weren’t planning on going along to Catherine’s show, change your plans. Catherine is at various times funny, biting, naughty and poignant. Not known for her [...]

I’ll never really understand the rampant paranoia that seems to accompany the gun-loving subculture of the USA that clings to the Second Amendment like a needy ex-girlfriend. It’s not just that they hold as a basic right the idea that people should be free to own guns — bizarre though that may be in itself [...]

Got me to thinking about The Hurt Locker, which I went to see last night. If you haven’t been to see this film yet, do yourself a favour and go. It’s an incredible piece of work (hell, it’s criminal that Avatar was considered in any way of comparable quality), and it really doesn’t ever let [...]

Really. Not even a tiny, teeny, little bit. Didn’t care when he was actually famous, still don’t care now that he’s doing…whatever it is that he’s doing. Rolling about in piles and piles of money and making an arse of himself in the newspaper, I guess. Jason has already pretty much obliterated the guy over [...]

Ugh. So, it turns out that when it comes to compressing videos, Windows is about as effective as pissing into a bushfire — I’ve yet been able to find a program that is both free and that will perform the simple task of compressing my videos without putting a watermark on them. If you know [...]
