I don’t know if I’m super sensitive to these issues now that I’m a vegetarian, but I saw this logo recently and it kind of took me by surprise. Most take-away shops have their logo semi-removed from what they actually do to animals. Most chicken places show a colourful chicken logo, or some abstract thing.Charcoal chicken however, have a different tact. Hey, here’s a chicken that’s alive and smiling, while we put flames underneath it? That’s bordering on psychotic don’t you think?
I really wanted to get my hands on the Singstar bundle (microphones included) for the PS3. We had enough trouble getting hold of it in Canberra, so I knew it would be difficult. Went to 5 stores and noone had it. Looked online and every store I could find was out of stock until 20th March.
After a few pages in the google results, a store popped up showing “In Stock”. I immediately ordered it, and realised the store was in Perth. I received e-mails promptly telling me it was purchased, I enquired to confirm it was actually in stock, and received a reply saying yes they had just received a shipment and it was being posted. An hour later I received a tracking number, and it should arrive today. Guitar Hero III should arrive today or tomorrow. Well done TotalGamesToys!
Update: I have it in my hot little hands, was delivered at 9:50am, about 18 hours after I ordered it.

Yesterday I received my Three 3G modem in the post for their mobile broadband service. Open the box, Mac OS X install disk stares back at me. Install drivers, follow setup instructions (screenshots seem to be from an older version). No action. A quick google turned up this highly informative post which solved all my problems.
This is an awesome photo set of the aftermath of hurricane Katrina. The photographer (Rob Sheridan) is a guy who does a lot of artwork for Nine Inch Nails, but I only stumbled across this unrelated this morning. I really love the base web site layout and interactivity too.
A successful week of waking up at 6:30, having breakfast, having my lunch packed, catching the train/walking to work. Not so successful at leaving work early, but I’ve been trying. Managed it a few days. Last day of work, then a week off to head over to Caaberra & Melbourne. Can’t wait!
Finally, Perth has begun to move forward.
Welcome to Perth Waterfront, a brilliant development at a spectacular location. Perth was born on the banks of the Swan River, now it is time for that connection to be rediscovered.
It will be a place for everyone – visitors to Perth and people living or working there will all enjoy the beauty and the lifestyle of the city.
Today I hit the jackpot thanks to Kirstie. My lunch consists of:
