Weekend flashback – boots of revenge and high adventure
To set the tone just right for the first non-meta post at the new digs, I offer you possibly the best cheese of the early 80s:
General: We have won again. That is good! But what is best in life?

A Transhumanist Future?
The whole 666 Number/Mark of the Beast thing and the fact that I’m reading Peter F. Hamilton at the moment has got me thinking about biochips and the future of other technological augmentations of the human body, and how those… Read More ›
Ruminating Erudition (swoon)
Brand spanking new group blog Sarsaparilla, writing about literature, media and culture from Aussie points of view, with contributors who are some of my favourite Ozbloggers. I love this idea – bless the good blog Sarsaparilla and all who sail… Read More ›
Miss Peggy Lee – girl/woman/dame
Having joined iPodistan a few weeks ago, I’ve been contentedly ripping CDs and uploading the songs and rediscovering some old favourites that have been moldering down the bottom of the CD pile for a while (not one of those Virgos… Read More ›
