The Australian Blogosphere’s #1 Meeting Place
I’ve been dabbling with creating websites and online communities as a hobby since 2005. I used to spend the whole day working on other people’s IT solutions - counting down the hours until I could flick on my laptop at home after my wife and kids had gone to bed and hack some amateur code together and put up the website I had pictured in my head.
Why?
I just want someone to tell me they thought it was cool (or thereabouts….)

AustralianBlogs.com.au (via BLOG.biz) launches its first WordPress theme! YAY…(it’s even XHTML-OK…I checked)
I hope it’s a stinging blow I strike for fellow untrained, untalented wannabe web designers.
Download it here at your peril.

Found this sign on the entrance to the main arena at Challenge Stadium, taking a ’state the obvious’ marketing approach.
I wonder what they class as a weapon (Scissors, toothpick, grenade launcher) and who decides?

I love this story - up there with asking a woman whether she’s pregnant only to find out that she’s not (believe me, I know…)
About The Author:
I saw the recent Australian Government ‘Climate Clever’ ads recently and loved it.
A concise, everyday tag line ‘I can do that’ linked with common energy-savings examples eg. no standby power, all against the context of doing your bit to save the planet (for the next generation).
WHAT IT’S SAYING TO YOU: Ultimately, you know it’s good for you so why not try some simple everyday things (like switching the lights off when you’re not using it)? A nice call-to-action with a catchy phrase.
About The Author:
“It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.”
- Theodore Roosevelt
“Citizenship in a Republic”
Speech at the Sorbonne, Paris, April 23, 1910
