Inconversible Thoughts

iPad Feature Missing

My iPad, for the first time in a long while, displeased me tonigt. If you own an iPhone you might be already familiar with the following function, if not you must believe me how convenient it is… When you receive an email with a time, let’s say “on Tuesday @ 10am”, this would show up [...]

Bye bye Bieber

I remember growing up, I had the dream to be an egyptologist. Weird dream, I know. But I soon came to the crushing realisation that that wasn’t going to happen for me. Today, I came to a similar realisation. I’ve spent the last few weeks growing my hair out as to be able to achieve [...]

My Meat Comes from the Supermarket

Most of us, especially those of us who are able to log onto the internet and read blogs like this one, most likely take for granted the world around them. A friend of mine summed it up in a few words the other day by saying “My meat comes from the supermarket, not an animal”. [...]

Inception, An Idea

It isn’t often that someone makes a blockbuster movie so intense, so powerful that you leave the cinema with your mind still reeling. Inception, though, has been able to do just that.

Only half finished a plate of food and scraped the rest into the trashcan? It’s easy for many of us who live in countries like Australia [...]

My Babies Had Babies

I got my first aquarium just under 2 months ago. Since, I’ve also got another tank. In the original I put 6 Convict cichlids, and in the second I put 2 Mollies and 4 Guppies. The day I after I put the Mollies in their new home, the female popped out over a dozen babies. [...]

QC2010: Fighting Queers Need Fighting Unions

There are a lot of people fighting for good in this world, and even if you don’t believe in what they do, you have to admire the courage and determination with which they strive to achieve their goals. Recently, I was in Wollongong for the annual Queer Collaborations, a nation-wide get together of the Queer [...]

An Old Trick

Today at work this lady, about 70 years old, came in and ordered her meal: a hamburger and a seniors (free) tea. She handed me a $10 note and i proceeded to procure her change from he drawer. As i handed the coins and note to her, she told me that she could actually make [...]
