This is what I feel like

I hate the flu!

Digital white board

Tell me THIS isn’t a cool invention :) My post name probably doesn’t do this justice, it’s not just a digital white board – its more about the technology behind the drawing application that’s cool. Check it out.

Bronte to Bondi – just a few more freckles…

Well, it’s that time again. You know what im talking about, don’t pretend like you don’t! The sun is out, the days are getting warmer, and the red heads are vanishing faster than you can say “sizzling sunburn batman!”

Well I for one won’t stand it! And so, here are a few photos for you to drool over, as I soak up Australia’s best on a long weekend that came just in time!

Sarah’s farewell…

Red Ant said goodbye to Sarah today. And after 8 years at the Ant, she will be sorely missed. To celebrate/commiserate, we took her to Art House and got drunk. Hilarity ensued… here are some of the finest pics from the night. (by the way, for those who don’t know her, she’s the little one… and for those that DO know her.. get it?!) (oh, and an honorable mention goes out to the Italian Stallion, for his effort in front of the camera!)

A Birthday party…

What a great night :) copious amounts of alcohol, followed by copious doses of laughter and bad digipics !! What more could I ask for?! Thanks to all who turned out. Here’s some happy snaps.

Interesting post on Susability…

Susan has a very interesting post (a little old now, but Id forgotten to blog about it) about Blogs as marketing tools. Makes for an interesting topic to discuss, and opens a topic of discussion about good online business models, which is something I want to try and write about in the next few weeks.

For the time being, go check it out.

Leica M8 released…

Wow, what a nice camera this is : The Leica M8 is one beautifully crafted object (with a beautifully hefty price tag to boot!). Anyway, wow – im impressed. But for the mere mortals of the world, the Panasonic Lumix digi cam is (while not of exact quality) of very similar Leica-esque status and well worth a look. (photo ripped from d-preview)

Happy Birthday to me…

Well, im a few days early but hey. I like to think that the entire week surrounding my birthday IS my birthday – and why not?! It’s the start of Spring, the weather rocks… parties every night…
So here’s an (early) present from my gorgeous better half (and here’s the link Sennheiser HD 280 Pro)

HD 280 Pro

So what’s the verdict? I love these puppies! Sound is crystal clear – and i mean crystal. They are studio headphones, so closed and with a restricted audio frequency – which basically means they output what the audio ACTUALLY sounds like without mooshing the sound wave. Tight fit on the head, but quite cumfy. Also, a hot tip – if you want to buy these in Australia, don’t go to a shop as they will cost you over $350 bucks. Ebay instead. Nearly half price on a good day (for some reason the resell price in Aus for a couple of the Sennheiser products is way higher than it is anywhere else in the world).

Happy Birthday to me yay!

ooh, is that a server I see before me?!

So, the plastic has been taken off and the foam all broken apart to resemble a winter wonderland, and it’s back to business as shiftperception celebrates it’s first day on a new and entirely local server. IF all has gone according to plan, the only difference you’ll see is this post – otherwise im typing into the old site, and this post will never be seen. Spoooky….

Paper Cuts

giaitrivietnam.net has some amazing positive/negative space paper cut artwork (thanks OJ). Seriously cool.
