Dan Kois, you magnificent bastard! Much Marvlove to you!

Bambi and The Great Prince

...and to all Disney Oz peeps...I'm miss all the good times!!!

Wank.

A "Blogger" Bag?!?
...are you f*ckin kidding me? I mean it's an alright bag...but to call it the "Blogger" Bag is such a complete wank of a marketing ploy! Do bloggers really have specific needs that have to be met??? Maybe a secret compartment for your Blogger Membership card??? What a load of bollocks! It's just a friggin' lappy bag!
Timbuk2's "Blogger" Bag

I mean if you really have to cart a lotta sh*t around, I would suggest the:

UDG Producer Bag

...yeah, yeah...the name is also a bit of a toss...but it's served me well (you know some days you just wanna have everything with you...). Also great as a second carry-on on flights (I just give a little shrug at check-in, "what? It's my laptop bag."...yeah, a lappy as well as chock-full of books, Ho-ho's and Diet Coke)

But really, most days I can get by with just the lappy (+cords) and the Wacom...so it's:

Head Porter-Black Beauty Brief...(also converts to a back-pack!...though I've never done it...). Sleek, stylish...yet understated...like myself....what?!

* I'll cop the "Blogger" Bag...after I get myelf a "Haughty-Bitch European Manpurse"...

...waaaitaminit...

Snapped this pic couple of weeks ago ( I forget where...I think it's this outdoor mall called Eastwood City...) and I thought "oh yeah, I can think of a funny-ish caption for that...". So I uploaded it...then I noticed this "Tack&Gear" (for lack of a better term)...

Caption? Unnecessary.

Trippy "ZUNE" Ad...

Zune ad
Uploaded by sabo-tage

...Sweet animation on this ad.

I thought about copping the 'Zune (Microsoft)...mostly because every man and his dog has an iPod! I had a quick go at it at DJ's, and wasn't super impressed with it...oh well...I'll use the money for the iPhone...

*Why am I in love?...
There's a thousand, big and small reasons...
...but mostly because she's a beautiful contradiction.

"Cloverfield" Trailer?...from J.J. Abrams?

...the source of much internet musings...interesting...




...and "taking things a bit far?"... A perfect example of the effects of viral marketing, and letting the nerds of the world (yo, it's aaaight! I am one) do your marketing for you...this guy in particular is hilarious (and, I admit, at times informative)

"Coronary On a Plate"

I hit up UCC Coffee at the Podium last night for dinner, and to see for myself this "Cliffhanger Sandwich" I've heard about......well, it's basically a bacon & egg, and cheese sandwich (well, two of them combined), 'breaded' (with more cheese, I think), then deep-fried...

Yup, as you can see, it's a serious culinary feat... I had a Pavlovian Reaction when I saw this bloody thing!...with my arteries protesting (or was that my sphincter clenching), I finished half of it...

*...that's half a cantaloupe...



...and I had a 359pesos cup of coffee (which is about $5...so the price of a Starbucks Venti latte at home)...which tasted just like any other coffee I've had here...WTF? (I miss Sydney coffee! Any cafe in Darlo!!!)

A new series on Marvlove!!! (in honour of the Wolf!)

Oz's Re-Election Campaign Hits the "Tube"!

Ok, I am by no means a very politically minded person (but I do miss "The West Wing" --I now make do with "Studio 60"...Sorkin, you rock!), but I have mixed feelings about this. I would have loved to be a fly on the wall at the campaign meeting when they decided this move...

...aaah, Johnny Howard...a marginally better orator than the "Dubya", throws the first re-election punch online! Oh god...
...and here's Rove harrassing the man!

* did you know Rove used to be Wilko's runner (or so he says) back in some studio in Melb.?

Oh, and here's Lil' Johnny's MySpace!

The Golden Compass Trailer

Fans of Phillip Pullman's "His Dark Materials" Trilogy, here's a peek at the first installment...it looks hot! (although I've always known the first one to be "Northern Lights")
