Octopuses [06 Dec 2006|02:19pm]
My Top Five Octopus Videos

1 - Octopus escaping through a tiny hole

2 - Mimic octopus

3 - Octopus wrestling with a shark (a bit violent)

4 - Octopus changing colours

5 - Just hanging out


Scariest Octopus



this is the blue ringed octopus. it only has the pretty blue rings when it feel threantened. it's the size of a golf ball and just hangs out in rock pools, but if you try to pick it up it can kill you. it's actually the most lethal sea creature, it has enough poison to kill 26 adults within minutes -- not that there's any antidote anyhow. it lives in queensland (australia) mostly.

Don't touch this octopus!!!!!!

Electric car [12 Aug 2006|05:00pm]
Can I have this electric car for my birthday? It's coming up in December. If you guys all chip in, you could maybe come up with the $100,000.

Tesla Roadster electric car

PS: Go see Who Killed the Electric Car?, it's a really good movie.

Latest banana news & views [06 Aug 2006|06:24pm]
I was telling my parents about how I made banana cake and they were very jealous.

Why? Because bananas in Australia right now cost $17 per kilo. That's more than $3 each.

Apparently a cyclone gobbled up all the bananas in Queensland and now they can't get any, so you can't get banana bread or muffins or anything anywhere. Apparently some friends of mine did a whole sketch on TV where they tried to exchange bananas for $AUD at the bank, and pay for stuff in bananas. They put a banana in the toll booth coin collector on the Sydney Harbour Bridge.... and even that's over-paying. Last time I was there the toll was only $2.50.

Will probably be going back home to Australia, possibly as soon as this Thursday, to be with family. Not sure how long I'll stay.

Such a great day! I finally got to open my windows and let the fresh air in, for the first time in 6 months or so .... spring has sprung.

I keep meaning to post pictures and blah blah blah but I will eventually.

Been back in Ithaca NY for a week now after an excellent few weeks in Sydney with Karen (guest starring Marge, Ashley and Gloria from CA). Details + pics on the way …

Right now it’s -23°C and windy. Remind me why I’m here again?

Auto music recommendations [04 Dec 2004|02:56am]
[ music | Pre 63-Groove Armada ]

This seems like a pretty cool project: iTunes Music Recommendation

Download the app, then if you have iTunes it lets you know what other music you’ll like, based on your ratings and how often you play songs. The recommendations come from what other people with similar tastes are listening to.

I've been working really hard on preparing for my "A" exam. The exam will be in a week's time, it's a 2-hour long oral exam by a committee of 3 people. They give you the "questions" in advance, and you have to write up 10 page answers to each one, and then be prepared for follow-up questions on the day. So I don't have much of a life right now ...

It's started getting cold here and snowing a little bit. I'll be back in Sydney on December 17. I'm hoping it gets really freezing here before then so it makes me really appreciate the weather back there!
