Well I would have thought that the result was a given, obviously not.

After watching Diversity perform in the final, I must say that it was an incredibly hard choice, Susan Boyle or Diversity. I guess Susan’s career and future has already been set, so I wasn’t that upset that Susan Didn’t come first.

Susan Boyle comes second in Britain’s Got Talent


Susan Boyle is an amazing talent and she is certainly no loser, she is destined for a wonderful career in music.

Feels Like Woah by Wes Carr is one of my favourite songs, I really love the fresh rock sound, a little like a softer version of Cold Chisel or Bruce Springsteen. Wes may have come from Australian Idol, but he is definintely not a manufactured musician, he has real talent.

A Sydney snake has got itself a free ride. The Green Tree Snake appeared from a vent near the windscreen while Lou Lineker and her family were travelling towards the Sydney Harbour Bridge. The family had nowhere to pull over at the time and the snake stayed in view for about 5 minutes before it disappeared back where it came from. When the family returned home and looked for the snake it was gone.

This seems to be an amazing story, but I am sure that CNN would not have run it if it didn’t have some form of truth to it. You make up your own mind.



Lego Donkey Kong, a retro masterpiece

Donkey kong was always the game I wanted as a kid, but it was $39.95 in about 1982-83, which for all of you people less then 30 years old was a crap load of money back then. I ended up getting a less expensive octapus game instead, I think it cost about $12-$15 and was OK but oh to have owned Donkey Kong.

Anyway a few of my friends owned it and I got to play from time to time.

Below is a working lego version that I found on Gearfuse.com a really neat site that I hadn’t seen until recently.
