Enormous waves crash endlessly, far, far below.My footsteps proceed along the edge, A small way from the dusty rim.The roar of surf dimmed by the distance,As pebbles fall silently toward the roil. Just jump! It would be so easy, I know.Many times the ease of the fall has conquered me.This time is different. This time myContinue reading “Cliff”
Mouse Pointer 2.0
Apple, throughout its many incarnations since the 1970s, has always been the pioneer in Graphic User Interface design and deployment. Ever since the Command Line Interface was abandoned, thanks to Jobs’ visit to Xerox Parc in the mid-70s, presenting the functions of a computer in visuals rather than code has brought computers to the rest ofContinue reading “Mouse Pointer 2.0”
Who Am I? The Sun vs Chart Depositor
Astrology provides many opportunities to gain useful insight and improve awareness. The breadth and depth of this tool lends itself to the preferences and predilections of the Astrologer, resulting in the tapestry of Astrology extant around the world today. I prefer to apply Ockham’s Razor, reducing details and bringing clarity. To this end, I viewContinue reading “Who Am I? The Sun vs Chart Depositor”

The human soul is here to soar!Breaking slowly out of the mud of our bodies,Away from our self-perpetuating desires,Beyond seas of emotions and skies of thought!No mean feat, always worth the effort.

The daily activities of hundreds of millions of people is being affected, and any habit which pertains to unhygienic behaviour is being socially altered.

Microsoft’s Ten Year Failure Enters Third Decade
In 2010, Apple did exactly what Apple does best: create a ready-to-use platform which both consumers and developers can take immediate advantage of. iPad is perhaps the third-most astonishing tech consumer device in history. Since its inception, Gates lead Microsoft as a software-only vendor, and only began getting in the black after Jobs brought WordContinue reading “Microsoft’s Ten Year Failure Enters Third Decade”
Thoughts on Australia
As a continent, Australia is moving north toward the equator at almost seven centimetres a year. Already a huge desert, it may come as no surprise whatsoever that this country is only getting hotter and drier. That doesn’t take a lot of deep thought to grasp. Rising global temperatures are also no complex thing toContinue reading “Thoughts on Australia”
