Sorry guys, that I have been away for so long but unfortunately I have had my hands full, and on top of everything else I took it upon me to start up WassupBlog, my latest blog. Still I suppose if nothing else it will keep me out of mischief.

I took this photo twenty odd years ago whilst in Fiji and I remember how shocked I was to discover that in this day and age women in parts of the world were being discriminated against.

I did a post the other day on a Sydney art gallery that had to close an exhibition because it portrayed photos of naked children as young as 12 years old. I did an update with a poll so people could vote on whether nude photos of kids are OK as long as they are presented at art.

The first thing I do every morning whilst, checking my emails, is listen to the news and I must admit that this mornings news was pretty disgusting. It's all about the furor that was raised when police raided and art gallery and closed it down until further investigation.

OK, I have heard a lot about twitter so I decided to join it but so far I can not for the life of me see what all the bloody fuss is about. Would one of you guys please explain it in such a manner that this dumb Aussie could understand it.

A couple of days back I did a post on Wesley Snipes Tax Evasion saga and it got an interesting comment from someone who pretty well stated that the country 'wouldn't even notice' it. You can see the comment here

I posted this on my blog but as not everyone reads my blogs I though I would post it here as well.

This would be the saddest story that I have heard of for awhile. It is of an innocent 12 year old boy who was killed Friday night (18th April 08) in front of a store in Wilkinsburg. They say he was not the intended victim but that would be a small consolation to the parents of Kholen Germany.

Hi guys, I have just had an irate Aussie comment on my post Is It Really Ok To Call Someone A Wog In Australia? Now this guy is really getting hot under the collar and has even gone to the extent that I should leave the country and leave the Australian to live in their own country. I reckon this guy is in the minority but he seems to think otherwise.

When thinking about how much money I have made from different affiliates that I have joined I am reminded of an old proverb...'you can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink.' In my situation, by use of the right keywords and other SEO tricks I can lead a visitor to my website or blog but no matter what, I can't make him click and if I am lucky enough to get a click out of him he may never purchase the product or service and unless it is a PPC I will not get paid.

I was listening to the news the other day and they were mentioning how Justice Kennedy is the "swing vote" for certain cases, just as Justice O'Connor was. Then I got to thinking and realized the concept of a swing vote is a scary perspective in our highest court. Here's why.

Apparently British youngsters are the lowest in the recent European survey on well-being and happiness in childhood. With more British youngsters experimenting with drink and drugs and more teenaged pregnancy.There was much TV discussion on why this might be.

I have found television programes becoming more and more banal and formulaic and, to be truthful, sheer rubbish and insulting to the intelligence. BigBrothercelebritygetmeoutofhere at al, all the same, and I really don't understand what is entertaining about watching people sleep, perhaps I'm getting old!

I have compiled a list of the top 57 Money for Surveys Web Sites on RateItAll. It took me three days to filter through about 300 sites I found online. However, besides those, that I use myself, I could not give the proper evaluation for sites by just looking on their offerings. The criterias for the site to be included in the list were as follows:
