The results came out on Monday, and I’m very proud to inform that Michele has been awarded First Class Honours in her Psychology degree. Further, her thesis on Happiness has been recommended for publication (this is a big thing in psychology as it needs to be peer reviewed before any reputable psychology publication will even consider it – unlike say the IT field where publication is...
So, life is interesting in Minneapolis currently. The last week has been very child focussed {g}. Jack (my newest nephew) and Jackie came home from hospital and are doing well. I now have a great empathy for new parents. Not that I’ve had anywhere near the stress, joy, lack of sleep, concern, excitement and life that James and Jackie have had this last week, but I’ve certainly...
Great to see that Australia looms large on the global arena. After reading through USA Today, Investor’s Business Daily and The Wall Street Journal, here’s the sum total of the references to Australia (down the bottom of the screenshot).Makes me proud. Here’s the lame article it refers to in Sydney’s The Daily Telegraph.No wonder many countries are bemused about us folks...
Today is Thanksgiving Day in the US. Being an ignorant Australian I knew very little about what the day celebrated. Wikipedia gives a decent overview here. See also the entry (some unverified) about Squanto.
Have a great day folks.
Note: This is a personal (and thus perhaps boring to many) post. A while back I combined all my blogs into one and simply prefixed each post title with a label. So, if you are only interested in VFP then feel free to skip this and any other non-VFP related entries :-) But, to the readers who have stayed on (hi Mum) I hope you enjoy the update: The last few days have been great. We started out...

It all started when we logged onto Qantas the night before our flight and discovered our Frequent Flyer points upgrade had come through – we were upgraded to Business class. So as you can imagine, the flight over was fantastic. In fact everything about our trip, starting from the taxi ride to the airport, to the great staff in the Qantas...
Thought a few people might be interested in this demo track. You might know I’ve been playing with a bunch of guys for years now, and we’ve been (very slowly) getting some more songs together. Here’s a very rough demo (without any vocals) of one of our songs. I think it works well as an instrumental, and might even use it on a future OzFoxRocks. For the record, I play drums...
Michele and I leave for Minnesota tomorrow for 7 weeks. The last few weeks have been hectic for both of us. Michele finished her final Honours year exams last week and handed in her thesis on Happiness (you might remember this post earlier in the year). I’ve been finishing a few projects and preparing to leave the office for an extended break. (I’ll actually be working...
