somewhere out there

Somewhere out there is a blog, run by the girls at work, that has photos that feature me in the background—working—whilst they frolic about in pirate get–up or Hawaiian gear. It's not over the rainbow—I think it may be on blogspot—but I don't know the URL…

Enjoy the hunt.

blog the frog

As suggested by Inspiral, here is some froggy goodness. We came home on Saturday night to find this fellow sitting on our railing. Makes a nice change—normally we only find toads.

  Ahhh cute froggie! :-) So rare to see little green frogs these days.. where have they all gone?

• Inspiral said:

  I think this photo is not far off being life size. For a frog it was pretty big! At least 10cm long.

  I often have a sizeable frog that sits on the railing just outside my front door, and after recent rain, had a veritable chorus on the front veranda. One night, whilst out enjoying the... something (must have been good!) I spotted one leap off the veranda to land in the garden, one story below.
  
  Happily, it then hopped off; I like to think most contentedly.

funky new phone

It's been a while since I posted something geeky—or anything really. Remiss of me really, to not post that I have a new phone: a Motorola E398.

I decided to forego the bells and whistles, as my previous phone was very expensive and they haven't really integrated all the features I want into a single phone (yet). So, no bells and whistles. Just stereo speakers and rhythm lights. Just a 64MB memory card—smaller than a SIM card—to hold 14 MP3s (I could only fit 4 on my old phone!). Seriously, the E398 was free on a $25/month plan at Optus and it's a great phone for that price! So send me an SMS, set off the MP3s and flashing lights. You know you wanna!

That takes care of a geeky post. Lots of important family stuff afoot, but you'll find more over at Inspiral's Spiral :)

  I know you wanna bang on the table like a primal warrior with a new set of drums just to set off those crazy disco lights!
  
  I takes good photos though, maybe you should blog the frog.
  
  Week 9 now everyone!

Ooh, cheap ipods!

Maybe I could throw away my expensive phone and get an ipod shuffle instead!

• Inspiral said:

  Too bad the time you posted that isn't on your blog we could have counted how long it took for you to go "Yeah, lets get ipods". Only 2 and a bit weeks to wait! Valentines Day presents, what a good excuse, um I mean idea! ;)
