I’ve got a few half formed post ideas buzzing around my head, but the weekend’s gone by without a post, so here’s a meme (thanks for the tag third cat):
You’ve all done it by now, but here’s my answers:
What was I doing 10 years ago?
Hard to believe that 1998 really is 10 years ago. I [...]

Via pretty much everyone in my feedreader (well so far Pavlov’s Cat, Ampersand Duck and the Hoydens), here is a book meme.
What we have here is the top 106 books most often marked as “unread” by LibraryThing’s users. As in, they sit on the shelf to make you look smart or well-rounded. Bold the ones [...]

It’s been school holidays recently, and I took a week off, just to hang out with the boys. They did a drama course in the mornings, but the rest of the time we lazed around the house not doing very much. Perfect blogging time, you would think, but actually not. I became utterly addicted to [...]

I’m labelling this a meme - Unrelaxeddad did it first. What are the first ten blogs you clicked on in your google feedreader?

There have been a couple of articles (probably because it is the silly season) recently [...]

Club Troppo has called for nominations for the Best blog posts of 2007 (Australian). I don’t think I belong in that illustrious company, but I thought it would be a good exercise to work out my top five for the year. My blog posts are quite varied. The ones that I work on my writing tend [...]

This is a plea for musical advice from my blogging readers. But first, a bit of background.
I play the classical piano quite respectably. I learned it all the way through school, and got to the point where I could play some impressive sounding classical pieces.
But now, I have no party pieces. The closest I come [...]

Via Tigtog, I found this nerd test, which gave surprisingly insightful results for me (except for the dumb/ dork/ awkward section - you score highly on this bit by acting like a typical teenage boy). The sci-fi comic section is more about TV and comics than actual books, though - if it was about sci-fi [...]

A week ago, the Federal Government gave some money to this parenting website, so that they could distribute a DVD. It wasn’t the first time, the website is funded by the Australian Government’s Stronger Families and Communities Strategy.
“To help parents in their parenting role, the Australian Government is funding the Raising Children Network $4 million [...]

My brother Bob gave me a great birthday present - my very own domain name. He’s always been by far the best in our family at figuring out the perfect present for everyone. So this blog can now (also) be found at:

Thanks Bob!
I realised when writing this post that it is also roughly the second anniversary [...]
