Raunch culture is alive and well and living in Fitzroy. Well, okay, maybe that’s a bit too much. It’s closer to Collingwood than Fitzroy.
The other night Dear Partner and I headed out to photograph some girlies swinging around poles in scanty, be-sequined outfits and seven inch stilettos. They looked like they were enjoying themselves and [...]

No, I didn’t watch Q&A last night.
Well, okay, so I started to, then I got angry and started throwing little bits of rolled up paper at the screen, so thought it best to just turn it off. I mean, Stephen Conroy and Andrew Bolt on the one panel? Sorry, but I wanted to be able [...]

Alert! Alert! Inexperienced blogger faking technical ability ahead!!
Note to Wordpress: I need a rubbish bin function.
Smarty pants idiot me just deleted my last two posts by accident. So they’re gone, gooooone, I tell you, apparently not to be recovered, humph.
Anyway, I don’t have any record of my post wishing JSB a happy birthday, but I do [...]

Okay, it’s probably about time I introduced the third of the Galleries I’ve stuck up here so far. It’s the most interesting, you know. I mean that, it’s not just me trying to keep you looking after you’ve already grown bored with the other stuff and wandered off to play with the other kids with [...]

…is that you can not talk about censorship.
So says Wikileaks. If you haven’t heard of Wikileaks, think of it as the Wikipedia for whistleblowers in government and big business, a site dedicated to opposing oppressive regimes, corrupt and abusive governments and large scale unethical corporate practices.
Apparently, our Government wants to stop all Australians from looking [...]

Anybody catch Guy Rundle’s piece in the local broadsheet on the weekend? The Web We Weave noted that it’s twenty years ago this month since the internet was effectively born. At least born in a format which could move out of the big scientific institutions where everybody looked very serious in fetching white coats as [...]

Here’s where I reveal my uber-geek credentials.
Just in case you hadn’t noticed, you know, like maybe you’ve been living in the bowels of an Amazonian cave with a long lost tribe of media-shy natives who considered the stone-tablet to be catering to the lowest common denominator, they released the Watchmen movie the other day. Just [...]

Here’s a really smart thing to do: head out to a dark and isolated country road, well out of walking distance from anywhere you know, where there’s no mobile reception, no street lights and definitely no one within screaming distance. Take several thousand dollars of camera equipment with you. Then experiment by using your car [...]

Alice Sebold’s The Lovely Bones
Okay, am I being ambitious to think I can review anything in only 150w? Let’s give it a go:
Alice Sebold’s The Lovely Bones began powerfully, but quickly melted into the kind of trite, mediocre literary-comfort food which seemed the worse for its excellent beginning. Opening with Susie Salmon’s declaration she was [...]

Hey, here’s a new experience. I went to see a naturopath the other day.
Um. Look, I don’t want to undermine an increasingly popular form of complimentary medicine, especially one some very dear and highly respected friends of mine swear by, but… uh… really, I just don’t think it’s for me. I can see why some [...]
Writer, photographer, researcher.
kahmelb is the handle you'll most often find me using online, well, at least on those sites where I'm happy to be publicly identified and which wouldn't make my mother blush. Much.
