For the first time, and on my 20th trip to the US, my mobile phone works in this country. Woohoo! 19 of the 20 trips have occured in the last 10 years, which also about how long I have used a mobile phone. In that time, my phone has never worked here. India, UK, Singapore, NZ, Thailand – all OK. USA, no. I can even SMS!

Bad Voice Roadshow
It’s Monday, and my voice is still missing in action.

Roadshow over. Good to see you all, again. Long time between drinks! Oh yes, my voice has definitely gone.
Adobe Technical Stuff
All sorts of cool technical Adobe stuff
Five days. Canberra, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth. Tired.
Original MINI
Nick’s Old, Original MINI. This is where my love affair with the MINI started – in the late 1980s. Here are some photos I found taken at the time as publicity shots for the band I was in Stranger than Fiction. One day I will be brave enough to upload the music. It took enough courage just to upload the images you see here.
MINI Run
Another Sunday of MINI fun: Sydney MINI2 Meet 18 May 03
The Matrix Munge
Saw The Matrix Reloaded. I think I understand the plot line. Maybe.
Photoshop ACE
Add one Photoshop 7.0 ACE to the list. Now that was a hard one!
Dambusters
Watched Dambusters, a movie of the true story of 617 Squadron during World War 2. When you realise that the leader of the squadron during the war, Wing Cmdr Guy Gibson, was in his mid 20’s (and sadly died later in the war) – and over fifty brave men died on this mission – it makes you realise that the generations before us paid a significant price for our freedom and way of life. The most surprising revelation is how many of those who died in this squadron were Australians.
