Heavy Advertising

Fri, 15 Jul 2011 21:38:12 +1000

All I see at the moment on TV here is advertising for a heap of different insurance products. It seems like the insurance industry really wants more people to get life insurance or income protection insurance. Seeing so many ads is actually making me want to not do it.

20 stunning green homes

20 stunning green homes:

I love architecture, and saving the environment is fairly high up on my list of things to do too. These 20 homes are, for me, aspirational - the kind of home we all dream to live in.

Are We Nearing Peak Silver?

Thu, 27 Jan 2011 10:57:54 +1100

There’s an interesting post on Money Choices, the Australian home loan comparison service, about the production of silver around the world. What’s interesting is the price of silver really took off around about 2004. So while everyone talks about peak gold and peak oil, have we missed the rise of silver? How high will the price go? Who knows, but to my eyes it looks like it’s only going one way - up!

I’ve just been reading a post about the colours of the Australian outback and felt compelled to post - the place is just stunningly beautiful! In my mind I’ve always associated the place with Mad Max, dust and the colour orange, but this post has blown these preconceptions to bits. Yes it is barren, and there is a lot of sand and not much green, but it is raw, slightly weird and staggeringly inspirational.

What If Apple's Tablet Doesn't Exist?

Fri, 14 Aug 2009 10:44:50 +1000

After reading AppleInsider’s latest rumour, I wondered whether it’s possible that the tablet doesn’t actually exist? It certainly wouldn’t be the first time Apple have come close to releasing a product only for Steve to nuke it at the last minute. I hate to say it, but this could happen again all too easily.

Really impressed by this house. “Horizontal Space by architect Duilio Damilano impresses with clean-cut, pure volume composition with constant height and sleek rectangular shapes. The 300sq.m. house, which was originally designed to split into two units, consists of 4 bedroom and 4 bathrooms.” Source

Credit Cards: Not Always Your Best Friend

Tue, 19 May 2009 09:21:08 +1000

When you’re going on a trip, everyone will tell you to always take your credit card. And I would have agreed with that, until I read this article about the culture of credit cards around the globe. Who knew that in Japan (where there’s a gadget for everything) that hardly anyone pays for goods with plastic and that there are very few ATMs and merchants who take anything but cash!

Listening to Peter Schiff Weekly Broadcast

Sat, 09 May 2009 01:44:17 +1000

Just started listening to Peter Schiff’s weekly broadcast. He’s the investor who foresaw the GFC coming way back in 2006 - 2007. Watch him on Fox News et al as he was laughed at and mocked for his spot on financial foresight.

TRouBLe Remembering CSS Orders?

Tue, 28 Apr 2009 22:07:42 +1000

CSS is far from new, but that still doesn’t mean it’s any less confusing to use unless, of course, you are writing it every day. If you do struggle with the CSS shorthand order, like what to change to increase the padding to the top of an image, then remember this: TRouBLe, or Top Right Bottom Left. Thanks Char!

Hummer H3 Is An Unlikey Green Vehicle

Mon, 27 Apr 2009 09:35:48 +1000

Toyota’s Prius has been lighting the way to greener personal transport, but who’d have thought Hummer would step up to the plate! Their new H3 gets an amazing 100 MPG thanks to it’s electric engine, which is apparently enough to trump the mightly Prius. It even looks like a proper Hummer.
