For some reason this afternoon I started singing “Cities of Gold”, my own interpretation of the “Mysterious Cities of Gold” theme song. Raise your hand if you watched Cities of Gold as a kid… Cities of Gold was one of my favorite cartoons from the 80’s. It was set in the 1500’s and followed the [...]

I can’t pick up a paper, turn on the TV or listen to the radio without having to hear about the Australian finale of Master Chef, and quite frankly I’m sick of it. As an Aussie I have far bigger issues to deal with, like the daylight robbery currently being committed against our cricket team [...]

For those unfamiliar [...]

There are a number of shopping cart plugins that I could use to make it happen, however, recently I’ve discovered another open source e-commerce solution, Magento.
The advantage that Magento [...]

Motivation is a funny thing. Some days I have it, some days I don’t. I’m not even particularly sure what motivates me 97% of the time. One thing I’m starting to learn is that I can’t do everything. I’m not Superman. There’s clearly a correlation between time spent on working toward a goal and the [...]

When I saw the first Transformers movie, I can’t say I was all that impressed with what I saw. I guess I shouldn’t have expected so much from a movie that is essentially based on a toy. So with my expectations suitably lowered after the first film, I went along to catch Transformers 2: Revenge [...]
