Melbourne Atlas 2006

August 21, 2006

The Melbourne Atlas 2006 has been made available for free download. From what I’ve seen it pretty much reinforces the stereotypes you probably already hold — Melbourne’s public transport system hasn’t really changed since the 1950s, the highest rates of domestic violence occur in Frankston and Hume, 20-29 year olds live in the inner suburbs, and so on. Still, I love stuff like this.

Long Time

August 17, 2006

I haven’t written anything substantial here for a long time. I’ve been up to a lot, but nothing much that’s appropriate for writing about in such a public forum.

Other than the things I’d rather keep un-public, I’ve been doing all the usual stuff — watching football, working too hard, buying Johnny Cash and Woody Guthrie records, taking bad photos with my phone, and playing Nintendo.

I just discovered my first grey hair. I was about to pull it out, but I’ve decided to keep it. I’ve always wanted to grow old.
