MusicPal


I'm thinking of getting a Freecom MusicPal for the doghouse - specifically for the bathroom. It is a wifi internet radio, that would be able to stream internode's radio stations for free. The reviews are quite good, but it is a bit expensive though, the cheapest price I have found in Australia is from Warcom and is $225.

The Wet

Well, it would appear that the Wet Season has begun. Shame about it starting on New Years Eve, but i'm sure the fireworks will still explode as expected.


Pity I will probably still be at work when they go off.

SPTKD Yorkeys Knob Breakup

Well last Wednesday, I had the breakup of my Yorkeys Knob chapter of South Pacific TaeKwon Do. All five students were there, and we have a good little party.




There were medallions and certificates for all!

Babinda Theatre

A group of culture seeking friends of mine, as well as yours truly, went to the Babinda Munro Theatre last night to watch Australia. After the place was almost completely destroyed in cyclone Larry, the owner and the community have done a great job of restoring the old place - complete with deck-chair seating. While I would not recommend sitting through a three hour movie in the chairs if you are over 6' tall (like i am), they were quite "quaint" to sit in.




The screen is crystal clear, and the new THX sound system is impressive to say the least. Although it is a good hour's drive from the north side of Cairns, I would recommend it for a "proper" movie going experience.

Gang War in Lake Placid

Well, hardly a gang "war", but there are enough tags up to make it look like there is one happening. The ones I have pictured below have been up for a few months, but they are really begining to bug me. I may end up asking the owners if I can paint over them. Anyway, the "war" appears to be between the "LPB" (I would guess, "Lake Placid Boys") and the "BBF" - "Bad Boys Finest". I know I am going to sound old when I say this.. but "Damn Kids"...






See, the thing is though, a recent study has given weight to the "Broken Windows Theory" of crime. I think it is time to get out the gernie and wash it off...

For those interested, the graffiti can be located here and here.

About the Blarg

Well, I've gotten sick not not being able to put everything I want in one place. So I will be adding a collection of articles, stories, picture and probably YouTube videos about a variety of subjects, including Cairns, Code, Humour, Rants etc. No idea who would read this, but welcome :-)
