Hey! have you guys heard of this thing called ‘eBay’?
It’s an online auction site!

I’ve also got a few piercings about the place and quite large holes [...]

The moment you’ve all been waiting for:

A Belated Update: I meant to comment on this earlier but failed to so I thought I would come back to this post to do so - for the sake of the web and those that may do a search when looking into their trip around Egypt.
Towards the end [...]


Egypt

Published on December 21, 2007

Well, i’m in Egypt now, Cairo to be exact. This place is insane.
Went to the Pyramids yesterday - I wanted to post a few pics but this computer won’t let me.
So I guess I just wanted to say hi to all and note that in my extreme disorganisation I failed to take anyone’s email address, [...]


8 things

Published on November 10, 2006

So my household managed to exceed our 20 Gig a month download limit somehow. I realise I’m partly responsible but 20 Gig is quite ridiculous. This makes use of my computer frustrating.

We can fly like birds over this diseased planet but when will be land?

Beer has wheat in it right? So can people with celiacs drink beer. This disorder could be more serious than I had initially thought.
Travelators: I’ve got a plan but I just need a renewable energy supply.
Warm beer isn’t as horrible as it sounds.
It takes 22 years of military service, certain honours and to [...]


…and a couple of photos

Published on August 3, 2006

Chris who took wonderful care of me in Rome (enjoying a Pizza and the World Cup):

My Finnish mate in Prague (Meeko) who I met in Vienna:

Singularities

Published on

…That is the power of Eurocentrism.
India, however, is not merely different from Europe. India (and every local reality within India) is singular - not different from any universal standard but different in itself. If the first Italian writer could free himself of Europe as standard he could grasp the singularity. This singularity [...]


Not sure if you’d call them insights…

..but here we go again (see what happens with a little positive reinforcement):

Why would Pulp Fiction lie to me? Royale with Cheese my arse.
Speaking of which, did you know that pot is illegal in Amsterdam (and the rest of the Netherlands)?
Australia is massively over regulated
German toilets…
When traveling it is easy to take a random [...]
