It’s called Orisinal and it’s an awesome collection of simple flash games.
The best part about them are they don’t follow the usual formulae, these are games that are creative, different and fun to play.
Reminiscent of the excellently addicting Eyemaze collection, these games will waste many an hour (try the GROW RPG)!

A Current Affair had some controversial stuff on tonight. It’s not on their website as of yet, but if they do have the clip with Andrew Fraser take a look.
One interesting bit of Fraser’s “opinion”: Sub-Saharan African’s have an average IQ of about 70-75, this obviously means they are genetically inferior to white people […]

So I’ve had my beautiful Powerbook for about 4 days now and have overall enjoyed it tremendously, especially after ditching Spotlight and finding out about Quicksilver.
A few things that irk me.
Firstly, iPhoto is slow. Very slow. I have just over 2300 photos imported into this program, and it takes literally at least 30 seconds […]

Utterly Bizarre.
I was going through some of my old emails and saw one with the line “Kings of Convenience, Riot on an Empty Street”. I had no idea where that line came from, though do remember a phase of my life where I appended random collections of words that sounded slightly ‘interesting’. After typing the […]

I changed my favicon from the traditional guy-throwing-down-his-gun-in-front-of-a-communist-looking-star to everyone’s favourite rhino. Though due to the 16×16 constraints forced upon favicons it’s not really recognisable.
Gosh darn I love that rhino.

For those with a passing interest in American politics, media or lifestyle you must check out Media Matters. It’s a lefty media monitoring organisation from America that keeps an eye on all aspects of America’s media. The best part is that they keep clips from stand out items from the week. For instance, you can […]

I have taken the plunge and purchased a Powerbook. While I am nervous that they could update the line at any time, I decided to go with the cheaper 12″ to lessen the impact of any new models that have been released. At just over $2000 (with edu discount) I am happy with my purchase.
Of […]

I’m a bit fed up at AOLMusic for their strangulation of the Live8 concert video, so it was with great pleasure I found this. It’s a collection of .mov files of every single act that played at Live8, split up into seperate song files. While the files are rather large, it’s a nice easy way […]

With the Hillsong Conference in full swing, Christian’s around Australia are dividing themselves into two camps. For those of you who are unaware of the ensuing debate, Hillsong is what is known as a Pentecostal “megachurch”, styled after those infamous American Churches often linked with so-called “Prosperity Doctrine”. Prosperity Doctrine misinterpretes a number of key […]

It seems that American Evangelicals may be getting in on some greeny Genesis reading! According to the BBC website the National Association of Evangelicals, a 30 million strong organisation, has finally realised our important role as caretakers of God’s Earth. Backing calls for greenhouse emission caps and other environmental legislation, evangelicals base these teachings on […]
