Reasons YouTube Rocks!

I’d always intended to do a companion piece to my recent “Reasons YouTube Sucks” post and I’ve been prompted to do it now because somebody has linked to it from a forum somewhere which has sent a bunch of new readers here.  I think it’s only fair that while the negative article is generating some [...]

Shopping for stage make-up, masks and costumes in Melbourne

Nobody in Australia knows how to use the fucking internet! I know this because every time I try to find something I want online I can’t fucking find it! Case in point: recently, I was doing exactly as the topic of this post says, shopping for stage makeup, costumes and masks here in [...]

Looking forward to a live review from Gruntski

I’ve just been talking to Gruntski on the phone and he’s bringing along a few people to the open mic night I’ll be performing at tonight.  This will be a first for me – one of my blog regulars coming along to a live performance.  On the off chance anyone else from Melbourne reads this [...]

How to lose an argument

I continue to be a fuckwit magnet on YouTube.  Lucky, lucky me.  I’m glad I was already a cynical misanthrope because exposure to these cretins surely would have destroyed any sunny disposition I may have had.  The majority of inbred freaks still flock around my anti-nazi videos but they crop up all over the place [...]

The best job in the world

No, I’m not talking about my job.  Now, if I was being paid to blog and vlog that would be the best job in the world for me and what I want to do.  Actually, as a side note, I thing “vlog” is the wrong term for video blogs.  Blog was coined as a contraction for [...]

Busy busy busy

Very busy weekend.  Kids parties, long drives, train rides.  Hardly even did any videos.  Here’s one; my take on the “Black Friday” sales:

Public Dickheads

I’ve been touristy things today, taking the kids from rides on olde tyme steam trains.  So besides having toxic levels of soot in my system, I’m pissed off from having to deal with dickheads in public.  I don’t know if you’ve had the experience but for me, whenever I’m at a tourist attraction there’ll be [...]

Agile Comedy

I’ve discussed IT methodology on many occasions on this blog.  One term that crops up regularly in IT circles when discussing how to get things done is “Agile”.  I can only honestly discuss this approach as an outsider as I’ve never followed it in a work situation. 
Essentially, the idea behind Agile is that rather than [...]

Is Michael Richards racist or just a shitty comedian?

I rarely comment on the overdone topic du jour on this blog but the disaster that is Michael Richards’ “nigger” rant is interesting to me on a number of levels.  First, although I never intended it, I’ve become a bit of a target for racists on YouTube because I made a couple of anti-racist videos.  [...]

Stupid business shirts

A recurring frustration of mine is the impossibility of finding a business shirt that actually conforms to my body proportions.  The main problem is sleeve length – sleeves are almost always too long for my stubby arms.  Then, if I roll up the cuffs, the sleeves are too short.  This is a small thing to [...]
