We must not forget good people of the nations of Iraq, Afghanistan,Iran and others similar struggling for their freedom so that they can be happy, healthy and wealthy. We must do what we can to help them lift themselves up. We must not forget that those that choose religion as a conduit for murder, fear [...]

Yay!
I have finally landed a job. In case you are new I haven’t had a job in years as in around 10 now. Oh granted I care for kids and keep the house up (haha 0 guesses on which is easier) but it’s not the same as being paid you know. My harder job for [...]
External and Internal Imagination
Previously I wrote about the visible and obvious part of imagination, combined with engineering to create the shiny and the new. I also described how it is seen and known to the observant. Understand that our consciousness is split into roles, where one is an Observer who watches everything with a detachment from emotions like [...]
The Ending Year
2009 is ending and so I’m reflecting on the year as well as thinking about the year ahead. 2009 has been a quick year. Aren’t they all? Not too long ago I was standing there celebrating the beginning of this year. My New Year’s resolution was to “take a chance”. “Take a chance” was just [...]
Gremlin Traps in Place
Been busy last couple of days. Bad luck continuing they released the gremlins on us. First one of the computers died with NO keyboard message. Not too bad it’s a 5ish year old system. Then the car crapped out and wouldn’t start. It’s a damn good thing I got the RAA last week, we got [...]
Family Healing
It was such a good time last night. I went to my sister’s place for a family BBQ. Hell of a drive but well worth it. You know I haven’t actually much enjoyed time with the family very often and last night was very enjoyable. We ate, we talked, we cried, we played and we [...]
CSIRO Diet Part 2
Well we are still sticking to the CSIRO diet and week 3 is over very soon now. My initial impression still stands though I do feel hungry on occasion though it is not all that intense. Less of an issue than how it was before this change of eating to be honest which makes one [...]
A Bad Week
It is time to vent. When life decides to slap you around it doesn’t mind hitting you all at once.
CSIRO Total Wellbeing Diet
My good man Ben and I have started the CSIRO diet which is laid out in a book. For the xenophobe enablers CSIRO is the leading research institute in Australia. The background is we’re overweight. Yes Eff Ay Tee. I was a skinny kid then I got fat when I married. I have no idea [...]

I Have Bad Memory
Bad grammar too but not in this case. After getting one CRC error too many on my downloads and the odd glitch here and there I ran memtest86+ on my RAM just to be sure. It was ugly news and now my RAM is sent back for replacement and I am on a 1GB loaned [...]
Kids these Days
Over here school is winding down for the long summer holidays. The youngest had her primary graduation and it was good to see her end these early education years on a high note. She’s a remarkable girl with incredible social skills. It was interesting to see how kids are these days from a local sample [...]
Couped up at the Farm
SWWBO (Beth), Queen of Castle Argghhh!!! is opening a new blog focused on her farming efforts which have so far been about fixing her large but not very productive chicken population. Mind you Beth has already blogged extensively on her farming antics over at her original blog since they got the place.

Why UseRealNames?

However this creates problems of their own such as trolling behaviour, and a [...]
