Well, here I am at the end of a long weekend, the Anzac long weekend to be more accurate. we did a number of things this weekend. Probably the highlight was seeing The Cat Empire. I had heard of them before and Maissa saw them at Womad a few years ago and had been raving about them, but I have to say, they were pretty good, one of the best bands I have seen on stage in quite a while. The energy they put into the performance was quite astounding. How would I describe them? Well, I would say they are a mix of Latin, Jazz, Hip Hop, Funk, Reggae and Ska (not necessarily in that order).
Then we went to the Inaugural Balmain Acoustic Music Festival, and I have to say that was rather nice too. Very pleasant park, not too crowded, nice atmosphere and great music. We saw among others, Big Wheel, The Back Sliders, Monsieur Camembert and Kristina Olsen.
We also dropped by Damian’s place to see his new lack of wall.
Dropped by Mark and Yukiko’s to see the new addition to their family. She is very cute. She even has a blue bum! amazing. They looked pretty good. Quite relaxed I thought, although I think they weren’t so relaxed just after she was born.
Anyway, that’s about it for this post which was inspired by Brendan’s blog. Thanks Brendan. And because Brendan had a pretty graph on his site, I’m going to put one up too. You can’t get much purer than a sine wave, so without further ado…

This is what happens when you don’t do your sums properly when using a crane.

Google desktop search only works in IE at the moment. Go here to request that they add firefox support.

There seems to be a new thing where some scum think they will still go to heaven even if they post comment spam. Here’s a link that might help.

This week, I have mostly been listening to Run to the Hills by Iron Maiden.
When you have a supplier that sends you shit, and you have to hand sort through his delivery to sort the shit out from the acceptable stuff, and you send him a fax explaining how shit his quality control is, and you know he’s not going to be impressed, you find yourself singing Run to the Hills.

This reminds me of Damian in his thankless job trying to convert the masses at is current work place.

There’s this guy we work with who is a bloody legend! You can see his site here.
Cheers Andreas.

I was giving the lantern it’s weekly workout last night and the bloody knob on the pump cracked and broke off. I’m getting really sick of things breaking on this thing. *sigh* More reason to get my pressure gauge and valve assembly fitted and working. I wonder if I can find an engineer localy who could just do the tapping for me?

For a long time I have dreamt of a luxury airship and it seems like its closer to reality than one might think.

This is a great idea. I think Bruno should build one.
