A scorching new year!

We’re having extremely warm weather in Melbourne at the moment.  To rub it in for people from the Northern hemisphere I mad this video the other day:

I think I’m being punished for it now – we’re having one of the hottest New Year’s Eves on record.  It’s been over 40 degrees [...]

The truth about UFOs

Every now and then I like to really blow the lid off a sensitive topic.  UFOs: are they real? Is there a government cover-up?  And perhaps the most important question of all:
What would the Japanese government do if Godzilla attacked?

Childhood memories

Sharp eyed viewers will good memories will have spotted tributes to XKCD cartoons in previous videos I have uploaded.  The Christmas season had me thinking about what’s different now compared to when I was a child.

Leaving YouTube

Every now and then someone declares they’re going to leave YouTube or at least take a break. There are many and varied reasons people give and, hey, what ever is a valid reason to you is a good reason.

Fuck Microsoft!

Seriously.  My next desktop is definitely going to be a Mac.  probably one of those big screen iMacs.  I was exposed to Windows Vista at a friend’s place recently and there’s no way I’m having that horror inflicted on me.
The following video may or may not be a factual account of what happened.
