A note on hydration
Whilst I was searching for something else I found this note on the importance of hydration. Make sure you have plenty to drink this summer!

Moving on
The rental I’ve lived in for several years has been listed for sale. It’s not a flash house and as such it’s come in at the bottom of the market. There has been a constant stream of people sticking their heads around my house so I can only imagine the open house is going to be … traumatic? I’ve ages left on my lease but I’m preparing for the worst and have started packing for a move I may have to make. Taking the opportunity to throw out stuff I should have dealt with a long time ago. Given that a lot of the stuff I’m throwing out I’m classifying as junk, I can hear a ‘told you so’ voice in my head.. I think this is the first move I’ve done by myself without certain company, and it’s really … Continue reading

Apple Battery Charger
Whilst I have heard of the Apple battery charger, it has recently come to my attention due to a staff request for one at work. I have heard on the TWIT podcasts that the batteries included with the Apple battery charger are actually the same chemical make-up as the Sanyo Eneloop batteries. These batteries can retain 80 percent of their charged capacity and potentially last for up to 10 years of service life. Whilst people could just go out and buy any rechargeable batteries I think it is good there is now an option for those who will only buy products branded with a fruity label.

Forgotten how to be alive?
I’d really like to get my car finished then spend some time outside in the sunshine, taking photos at waterfalls and enjoying fresh air. I think it would be nice to remember being alive. I haven’t done it for a while.

Blood suckers
It doesn’t seem to matter whether it’s summer or winter nor day or night. Mosquitoes seem to be always swarming to drink my blood.

Electric offroad motorcycles
Many years ago I would eagerly await the weekend to go for a dirtbike ride in the State forests around Coffs Harbour with my brother and friends. Thinking back we would often discuss the future and what we would be riding when petrol became scarce and new technologies had become available. We had decided that electric motorcycles would be the future but thought it would be odd being propelled through the forest on a quietly humming steed. That was going on ten years ago now, I haven’t had my TT600R for going on eight years now and I don’t even live in Coffs Harbour anymore. I happened across a youtube video of an Electric motorcross bike in use (ignore the hooliganism) and looking carefully at the video I saw a website address across the bike Quantya.com. Apparently our dream of … Continue reading

Mountain biking in Scotland
I’ve just discovered another reason to visit Scotland. Apparently they have excellent Forestry Commision supported mountain biking over there. They have a site which lists trails available and from the description it sounds like it would be definately worth a visit.
