News & Politics

Banning Pit-bulls (I'm not a dog person.)
Birthers and self definition (Ever noticed how supporters of the Republican Party are also a lot of other things?)
China and Foxconn (China's "rise" as they call it shows just how strange political ideologies are with respect to the common sense implementation of those ideologies.)
Two towers of light (In 50 years, what are people going to think of the space which now occupies where the twin towers were?)
Weighing in on the nuclear debate (Everyone can relax. I now have opinions on the nuclear debate; so you'll know what to think.)
Don't copy that floppy (Feel free to protect your copyrights, just don't take away mine.)
Disgusting behaviour caught in text (Also, I use the word "gaol" in earnest.)
The NBN (HUH, Good god y'all. What is it... wait I think I've used this joke before...)
Best paragraph ever
Wants and resources (Leigh Sales is a smart cookie, but she really should've argued more with her teachers in high school.)
Automate this (Hey I'll tell you somethin' f'r free. Your MOM is an automation. Eh? How's that compute fer ya?)
Not exactly Dangerous (Richard Glover says some reasonable things, but leaves them at conjecture. I try and form theories.)
Independents and resource pooling (I weigh in on the independents debate, but I mostly use the efforts of others and control the "balance of ideas".)
Health care (It appears this is now some sort of election series on good policy. By me, someone you cannot vote for, even if you wanted to.)
The ETS (Because solving all the world's problems is something I can do in my spare time.)
Fixing schools (The buildings are done, time to get the education revolving...)
Beyond British (I have a try at the BP thing)
Deep thinking (The only thing deep about your thinking is the depth of the irony that you think reading a book will make you smarter.)
All the normal people (Pushing forward white, blonde, attractive women to normalise gaming doesn't help anyone.)
We choose to go to the moon (The movie "Moon" paints a pretty dystopian future until you consider our present.)
Tony Abbott is a strange man
Prehistoric Giant Robots (I think when you try and think like a neanderthal, you find that thinking of forest spirits or some shit is totally unnecessary. However, thinking of Giant Robots is mandatory.)
Slightly too long for twitter (Sometimes people say things and you think "man I should remember that". Sometimes you just think "man those are big words..." And sometimes both of those things unite to form a giant robot...)
She tells it like it is (Is this an Ode? Maybe it's a Dirge? I reckon it's a Dirge!)
Violence against the intertron: Australia says yes (How can the Australian population disagree with computing professionals in such a fundamental and insane way? How, I ask?)
Avoiding antagonism with agnostic (Every time you say "Agnostic" God kills a kitten in heaven with a 7-iron to the fore-skull. It isn't pretty, so say what you really mean: "Atheist".)
Poor Tony Abbott (Tony Abbott has probably been given shit all his life. This is why he hates you and wants you to be unhappy.)
The black face of Australian TV (I think I just argued that a Saturday variety show is unaustralian because it dishonours the Anzac spirit!?)
Photos of the dead (Make sure you've got a good photo of yourself on facebook. It may turn up in a newspaper if you ever die.)
The natural and the augmented (When you're building heroes, sometimes you need some extra parts.)
How did that get in there? (You know they have an excuse for that sort of thing... it's called Alcohol!)
Mobilephone "Caps"
The next train on platform 2... (So there's this really cool app that integrates the Cityrail time table and even has an awesome scrolling tv mode much like the tvs at train stations.)
Global Warming: The thing that does not exist (It exists alright, but it's not global warming!)
Sunny Kalsi must die (No wait, it's not what you think... but it is about murder.)
Whaaaa? (Even I don't know what I'm saying... ?)
There are no words (I don't believe in post modernism... but only just)
Look at me Ma (I'm about to make another achievement in the world tomorrow if my farcical graduation ceremony is anything to go by.)
People stupider than me (Everyone should read my blog)
Guild Wars & Puzzle Quest (I have high expectations)
Using God to disprove peanut butter (The thing about being a creationist is, all the answers are simple)
The GKick: Prologue (Good luck with your new guild)
A train journey through the looking glass (Watching me, watching you)
Anything you can do I can do better... (...except for just about everything)
You can't play basketball against Ninjas (Why is wisdom different to intelligence?)
Process = Anarchy (Any thinking about structure and process would lead to anarchy)
I'm cooler online (Simple events can give you a lot of confidence. Only people can take it away.)
She's not exactly from Neighbours (A story about two reviewers and a singer has me more interested than the movie they're talking about)
A Moment of Joy (What strange thoughts captivate my mind in the quiet solitude of a sleepless night.)
Nothing but puke... (I feel ill, and it could be any number of things)
Peak Oil (Peak Oil makes sense, is all I'm sayin'.)
I am a prick (My name is tim and I am a jealous prick!)
Does your child listen to the devil's music? (A handy guide to discovering whether your child is walking down the path of evil.)
