Photoshop Fail

I was just watching a video about the three-match suspension of Melbourne player Jack Trengrove on the Herald-Sun AFL Minisite, and noticed an epic Photoshop fail. I’m Not Going to Change the Way I Play Firstly, lets look at a shot from within the running video: Note the lack of a “Herald-Sun Superfooty” sign on […]

Pizza Hut: Beware The Battle Axe!

I got more than a little chuckle when I ordered a pizza online from Pizza Hut last night. Out of curiousity when finally confirming my order, I checked the list of possible delivery instructions, and I saw “Battle Axe Block” as a pre-existing canned “Special Delivery Instruction”. I didn’t select it – (I probably should […]

V/Line Is A Pain In The Arse!

Now, before I get into this article, I’ll make one thing perfectly clear – this is NOT your typical V/Line rant that I might usually come up with, so if that’s what you’re looking for, you’ll be disappointed. Stick around though, because you will get a laugh at my expense. Over the last three weeks […]

Who Shot Osama?

Shortly after seeing this tweet this morning, I wandered outside from the systems engineering course I am attending this week, to get a quick gasp of fresh air, and saw precisely the same thing: It seems that News Limited and Fairfax have a slight difference of opinion on Australia’s position in the current world order!

Technical View of Mental Health Care

The company I currently work for does a lot of work in surveying and installation of wireless computer networking equipment, with the healthcare industry being one of our most prolific sources of work in this field.

iPhone Tracking Data – How Dangerous?

There has been a lot of to-and-fro -(particularly in the tech industry) – over the last week or so in regards to whether or not Apple’s tracking of iPhone locations is a good or a bad thing. Many commentators have landed on the “it is bad” side of the argument. Many have landed on the […]

Live From A Little Earlier, Again!

Checking the Yahoo!7 TV Guide over the weekend, I came across a strange classification for an AFL match shown on Channel Ten: Could someone explain to me what a “Live Repeat” is? I’m not sure. Ironically, this game broadcast was neither “live” – after all, free-to-air channels refuse to show them live – and nor […]

Collingwood Focused Pole Dancing

Whilst browsing through my regular news sources this morning, I stumbled on the following article in my hometown Ballarat Courier: Up the Poles for Charity Couldn’t help but notice the dancer at the bottom of the middle pole, wearing a Collingwood guernsey: Seems to be focussing on a really niche market, I would have thought?

Air France 447: How Much More Will We Learn?

With the recent discovery of the wreckage of Air France Flight 447 almost four kilometres beneath the surface of the mid-Atlantic Ocean, we may soon discover the truth about how this plane was brought down – something which has so far been not much more than a complete mystery. What we do know has been […]

More AFL Mathematics Fail

Hot on the heels of this piece of fail from the AFL website, comes the latest: Melbourne – 12-10-73? Surely they mean 12-10-82? Brisbane – 11-4-57? I’m sure that’s actually 11-4-70? Geelong – 7-12-47? Got a feeling that’s 7-12-54! Port Adelaide – 2-6-17? Might be 2-6-18 perhaps? Also, the scores aren’t “live”, they are quite […]
