I’m shocked too at John Brogden’s suicide bid. I’m also shocked at his jib at Bob Carr’s wife. Everything looked so clear and bright for him to be the next premier when Bob Carr resigned. I was fortunate enough to have a parliamentary lunch with John Brogdan a few years ago as part of a vietnamese community group meeting with him. The then president of the NSW Vietnamese community, Dr Tien, (who is now the president of the Australian Vietnamese community) predicted that Mr Brogdan would be the next premier. I guess this shows how quickly things can turn in politics when your life is in the public eye, how one small comment can ruin your whole career.

Hotham Pics. Definitely not a good season for snow, we went at seasons end and it didn’t snow at all the last 4 days there. I expected Hotham to be a lot bigger, its half the size of Perisher with half as many lifts and most of the runs steep and blue. A skier lost his life on our second day there.

Hollywood comes to Liverpool with Little Fish the movie having an advanced screening this Sunday. If you remember 21 jump Street, this will bring back some memories, Dustin Nguyen stars in it and will be appearing at the screening. Details and invites below

How do you learn to love again when the pain of the past won’t let you go? When you’re 32 with a troubled history and a doubtful future, it’s a question that isn’t easy to answer. And for Tracy Heart it’s a question she can no longer ignore.

A Story about families. About Lies. And about learning to love again.

Spring blossoms, and there’s still 2 weeks of winter left. This winter has been warmer than usual.

Not really what its meant for but the iPod fits snuggly inside. Its cute, just like the person that gave it to me.

The Rasterbator is an awesome little application that turns ordinary images into large scale works of art. PC only though.

Perisher Pics. Snow isn’t great this year at Perisher, the weather has been too warm. We’re headed to Hotham next week, so hopefully it is better further south.

Update:
The Market went really well, the Akina room was the best presentation on the day I thought, hehe.

Akina will be at this Saturday’s Sydney Design 05 Youngblood Designer’s Market.
Come and grab some freebies and buy some really cool gear.

Was at the snows over the weekend, will post some images soon. Moved into the new work space at Redfern. This Mini post is via the wireless Airport network we’ve set up. Its so cool. It still amazes me how I (hyperthetically) can be on the potty surfing the net and be sending files to another computer in another room over thin air.
