Relaxing at the Aquarium

If you’re in need of some relaxation then these videos I shot at Melbourne Aquarium might help. The first is some general shots set to music:

This one features the ever popular shark feeding. And freakishly large stingrays. Enjoy!

Messing with people’s head for dummies

I was doing a bit of online research today for work (in the brief moment when I got sick of looking for porn) and I saw a banner ad that I thought was funny.  Proudly atop the home page for a corporate IT news site was an ad for “Securing network infrastructure for dummies”.  Now [...]

Microsoft DRM - because fuck you is why

I’m not a big fan of the way big companies approach issues of copyright.  Which is to say, fuck those guys!  As a creator of original content the principles of copyright are important to me.  I’d like to find some way to make money from what I do.  I get angry when someone flat out [...]

25 years jail for creating The Backstreet Boys and N*Synch

Every now and then the justice system works even if it takes a long time.  I was very glad to see one of the most heinous criminals of the late 20th century finally go to jail.  If only we hadn’t been put through so much suffering already.  Nothing will heal the scars but this brings [...]

Atheist bigots - shut the fuck up

People who think the simple fact they profess to be atheists makes them automatically smarter than anyone who believes in god can shut the fuck up any time now.  I’m not sure what pisses me off most about this attitude - the innate arrogance, the internal logical contradiction or the ignoring of objectively observable reality.
I’ve [...]

Self censorship

When does it become acceptable to write something that’s funny at someone else’s expense?  By which I mean, when is it OK to ridicule an actual, real person?  You know, those things that have actual feelings and lives that may be affected by public ridicule. 
No matter how much we don’t like someone, no matter how [...]

Do you have plans for the weekend?

If not, may I suggest waiting an hour and a half of your time on the following video?  A little while ago I pointed out that I realised I was able to upload files to YouTube up to a gigabyte in size with no time limit on the video.
In order to exploit this, I asked [...]

Dentistry is gross

I have no idea why someone would choose to be a dentist. Spend your day digging through people’s gross, festering mouths seems like an appalling way to spend your time to me. Okay, I know why they do it - the money. But the are a metric shitload of ways to earn far more money [...]

Worst photo ever competition entrants

Let me just say there are some brave people out there.  I mean, I’m an idiot - it’s no surprise that I’d circulate a bad photo of myself.  But quite a few hardy souls entered my competition to try to come up with a worse photo than mine.  Here they are for your viewing pleasure.  [...]

If I can…

Today, I’m going to make you happier.
 
I bet you didn’t realise that when you got out of bed this morning.  I bet you didn’t wake up thinking: “Wow, I hope AngryAussie improves the quality of my life today.”  If you did wake up thinking that, back the fuck off.  I don’t need that sort of [...]
