I just noticed this article on TG Daily, the title says, “MIT scientists baffled by global warming theory, contradicts scientific data”
Go ahead and give it a read. But I can guarantee that this research project will fail and be terminated. Why do I say so? Because the proof these folks provide also contradicts the agenda set by the ones who control all the governments of the world. And it’s not the US as you might think either folks.

There were some issues with the Gimp porting project by wilber, mostly lack of team spirit and collaboration.
So somebody has finally taken up the slack. Gimp 2.6 is now available for Mac OS X by Simone.
For those of you who might not know what the Gimp is, it’s the GNU Image Manipulation Program. So kind of like Adobe Photoshop, except the Gimp in an open source free project. Here’s a screenshot of 2.6.1 on my laptop.
Today I finally finished the last health examination required before I can become a fully approved resident in Australia. Great times!
Seeing is believing, or so they say.
This photo was taken on September 28, 2008 on top of the Serpentine Dam. Decided to give the cars a rest.
But blessed are those who believe, but have not seen.

Finally, after weeks of effort we have a second NerdMobile (volkswagon red branded beetle) in Western Australia!!!! It took a bit of rigmarol to find the right papers and get to the right people, etc. But it’s done. And I’m quite thankful for that!

Today is the 18th birthday of my little sister. Happy Birthday!
We’ve had a huge breakthrough with her recently. She has commited to no longer work at a horse farm for free twice a week. Congratulations!
Was driving to Northam yesterday evening, and it looked like rain clouds were coming. Getting a little further you could see that it was actually smoke. Going even further you could smell the smoke.
Forest fires here in Perth are quite common. It’s a really dry climate in the vast majority of areas, and fires are started easily. They are started by nature, but many times sadly are started intentionally be humans, who for some reason enjoy it.
Well, just the other day I saw my first Australian kangaroo, nice and easy. Two of them hoping through a suburb.
They are just like the dear in Canada, you have to be careful when driving because if they get in front of you, they don’t move.
Another interesting little animal we have here is called the red back spider. They bite, and when they do you’re either dead or disabled for at least 3 months.
So you kind of want to stay clear of them. One thing that is definitely different over here is that you have to watch what you’re doing. Not checking closely before lifting something off the ground, can kill you.
Australian slang, and slobering of the english language. It’s going to take a little while to get used to how people talk. For the most part they’re easy to understand, but I find myself often asking them to repeat what they just said, simply because one important word is missing from my vocabulary, and cannot be aided by the remaining words understood.
But I’ve had a few comments where they like my Canadian accent, so it seems true. The only reason we like other people’s accents are because they’re different, something outside of normallity. Isn’t that true with people as well. We are attracted to those who stand out, who are different, not those who just try to blend in with everybody else. One of the reasons I have not been trying to pickup the aussie accent. It’ll come soon enough.
Ended up in Auckland, NZ in time to watch the sunrise, so I got to see it before any other country! 
Although overall the wait there (8hrs) felt rather long.

NerdFest 2008 in Kingston Ontario is going really well. Perhaps if I had a camera other than the one on my laptop you might see some good photos here, but they’ll be coming through other sources. Although here’s one of me wearing me new Astaro shirt!
