As usual ...

ages since I last blogged. Between working, holidaying, planning for holidays, general web surfing, xbox games, ps2 games (cheap cheap seeing as Woolworths is shutting), catching up on emails, watching the 70-100 GB of NBA basketball games sitting on HDD, exercising (Bring it P90X), touch footy, reading, household duties and lazy afternoons at the pub - the blog doesn't get much love.

There's about a half dozen posts that got started and never got finished which I think I might eventually post that one month when I'm too lazy to write about something new.

Life is busy, and I was cleaning up my email inbox the other day (1100 messages) - which basically involved sorting the inbox into folders (I have an "Oldies but Goodies" folder - for all those classic emails you get from people that still make you laugh 3 years later) and going through some fwds that I had never looked at.

There was a few interesting emails - one was a link to a Japanese IQ test to take a family, robber and cop across a river - that occupied me for about 5 hours (fell asleep for about an hour of that), and another one to a youtube video about the Information age. One of the things in the video said that the information contained in a New York Times (or Guardian or SMH) newspaper was the equivalent of what someone in the 1800's would have had access to over a lifetime!!

No wonder I've got no bloody time left in the day. Too busy trying to finish the newspaper I picked up from the recycling bin from a week ago, and Times magazines from 18 months ago!

be back to post up my half finished blog posts in a few weeks ;)
