Insert Clever Title Here

Here is the route I am planning on taking for my Xmas Roadtrip.

Like last year it is a week on the road by myself with the usual array of phones, gps, camera and laptops , will be taking the small tent and camping along the way doing about 400k per day on average for the 2200km trip to Brisbane.  I should be leaving around Mondaythe 14th of December to arrive in Brisbane on the 20th of Dec.

If you know of something I should see on this route please let me know.

yes… just when you thought it was safe to go to my blog and not be pestered…

Now I have a few t-shirt designs for sale on Red Bubble…

First cab of the rank.

one for the fans of #qanda.  If you never watched the show this really wont me anything, so don’t panic if you don’t think it is funny.

Next… with everyone on Twitter having the opportunity to be a citizen journalist (personally I think the term citizen reporter is more apt and certainly closer to what eye witnesses to events tweeting them are) now you have the shirt.  Please note it does not work as a press pass to all the cool events.

And finally one of the Physicists in all us nerds…. with a hint of atheism thrown in for good measure.   If the Higgs Boson is the so called “God Particle” perhaps like Jesus it has been behind the couch the whole time.

You would think that the Australian Army opening fire on Chechnya would be bigger news….

Screen dump from The Age online home page. (16/11/09)

This image shows an Australian Army BlackHawk, but video is about a Chechen helicopter attack!

Oh wait it is just more lazy journalism….  FFS stop using stock images!

More so when they are NOT even closely related to the story.
