St Kilda Pavilion
November 17, 2007.
This photo was taken on a Nikon D80 with a Nikon 18-200mm VR lens. I'd only had the camera about 2 weeks and it was a very overcast day. The original came out pretty flat, so, I tweaked it up a bit in Dynamic Photo HDR to give it more punch.
Click on the pic for the widescreen 1920x1200 version.

Graeme Hammond tells the story of how he turned a mad idea into a sweet reality, and built a V8 trike from scratch. So many great ideas start with a carton of beer.

Minecraft Minecart Ride - Virginia Plain
Virginia Plain was the amazing first single off Roxy Music's self-titled debut album released in '72. Great stuff!
This video shows a ride along part of a track I created in Minecraft. It's got minecart stations, door boosters, powered rails, dancing cows...
Turn it up loud and dance along!

The Battle of the Valve Jobs
Not really a battle. It's just cool that somewhere there are people making old-style valve radios.
This is a beautifully restored Telefunken Opus 7 circa 1956...
And this is a brand new R801 by Shenzhen V. A. L. Technology in China...
Here's what it looks like on the inside...
The R801 has 7 valves and costs about $848. It's pretty big, too. 54cm x 33cm x 25 cm.

Metropolis II
This is just like the Hot Wheels tracks we used to build as kids. But, we had a few less cars. And I don't think our tracks were quite as long.

Ride Forever - Leslie Nielsen (February 11, 1926 – November 28, 2010)
This is a grouse song from one of my favourite episodes of the Due South TV series and includes a little bit of lesser-known Leslie Nielsen as Sgt Buck Frobisher.
Apparently Leslie only appeared in 4 episodes. I was sure it was more.
I was bloody sad when I heard he'd died.
Ride forever, Leslie.
