I know I’d be scored poorly for this flight path in Flight Control – I hope the Tel Aviv controllers aren’t hoping for some sort of high achievement score.

Gotta Love Your Ringtones
Last week’s Tech Cafe podcast has been, literally, making waves: here’s the sort of thing that happens when Rod and I actually prepare.
The Voice Australia 'Drinking' Game
Although there’s a perfectly good Voice Drinking Game out there – I thought I should share our household’s ‘Buzzword Bingo’ version.
Take a chocolate honeycomb any time someone:
- …says something about a contestant ‘owning’ a song, or something about a contestant making a song their own
- …advises other contestants in the competition to learn something from the most recent performance
- …observes that they could see what a lacklustre contestant was ‘trying to do’
- …a judge throws in a random word they found on a ‘word of the day’ website a few minutes earlier
- …any judge estimates the quantity of ‘respect’ they have – extra points for ‘massive’
CSI: The Fourth Wall
An actual quote from my CSI-Inspired crime-solving dream last night
You know, I hate to break the fourth wall, here, but it really gets on my nerves the way we’re using all sorts of forensic technology that may or may not actually exist. Does this bother anyone else here? Anyone?
And, later
Hold on, I’m wrong – that wasn’t the fourth wall. Probably more like wall 3.5.
(Waving hands around in the air) Hello, Audience!
Now that’s how you break the fourth wall, bitches.
A Repost
That is all.
How To Be Human
A guide for robots and aliens
Greetings, fellow sentient being. All too often, we humans are so quick to drag you before our leaders that we forget to school you in the fundamental activities all humans share. Here are some examples of the simple, straightforward activities you need to understand before attempting to exterminate and/or probe us.

What Cheeses Me Off - August 2012
- Why the ‘Thank God You’re Here’ theme tune is the Hoodoo Gurus‘ ‘Come Anytime‘ instead of the far, far more appropriate ‘What’s My Scene‘.
- Why I am always forced to read the ‘How To Make A Customer Not Hate You’ notices in plain sight on fast-food drive-through windows.
Only two this month. Must me this Snark Diet I’m on.
What Of Facial Hair
As maturity encroaches upon adolescence, as the child becomes the man (or ugly woman) he (or she) begins to grow first the downy fuzz and, subsequently, the rich, wiry outcropping that has come to be called Beard.
It is no small coincidence that a great scribe or teller of tales is called by the similar word Bard.
Many an otherwise canny person has fallen upon troubled times by confusing these words.For it is true that a Bard can have a Beard, but a Beard cannot have a Bard.
One can shave a Beard, and, for that matter, one can shave a Bard.
But having shaved a Beard, it no longer exists.
Whereas having shaved a Bard you continue to have a Bard.
A Beardless Bard.
