Cobwebs For Al? (Round 1, 2011 – Waratahs vs Rebels)

February 21, 2011

Thanks to a glorious meeting of Xbox and Foxtel, I’m now able to watch the rugby from the comfort of the lounge. Rock on! What can you say about the first round of games that won’t be washed away over the next few weeks? Well, I guess it’s all opinion and comment, so .. Here’s [...]

"The Questioning Ones" – My First Blog (From 2002!)

February 12, 2011

Check it! Discovered a link to the Way Back Archives (which log just about everything) which hold my very first blog. It was a hack of php and html, mashed together from tutorials found on the web. Not pretty. It had a problem with quotes and backslashes, the editor was a "Title" field and a [...]

Writing A Story Online In Real-Time

February 12, 2011

Brandon Sanderson, author of many fine books, wrote Warbreaker in a rather unusual fashion. He wrote it on his blog, in real-time, going through the entire process (writing, annotating, editing) with amazing transparency. It was a really cool thing to do, especially given that at that time he was quite a successful author. He was [...]

The God of the Testaments is a God of MERCY

January 9, 2011

Today we heard a wonderful sermon. We’re starting a new series on the Covenants God gives in the Bible.

One that struck me was of God’s MERCY.

The God who is revealed in the Old Testament is often seen first and foremost as a God of RIGHTEOUS FURY AND ANGER BURNED OUT AGAINST HIS ENEMIES.

Late Night Coding and Burn Notice

October 8, 2010

Michael Westen always lays it out clearly in the voiceover. That’s one of the best things about the show, but it happens mostly underneath the layer of story-telling. That is, we know Michael is going to tell us something. He’s going to give us a hint of what is coming. Usually just before it does, [...]

Thumbnail image for Kings and Stormlight, A New Epic Has Landed!

“The Way Of Kings” is the first book by Brandon Sanderson in his epic series, “The Stormlight Archive”. By his own admission, this is the series that has been moving around his brain for many, many years now. Brings hope to any nerd who spent their saturdays writing out characters and places and scenes where [...]
