Falling faster than gravity
April 4, 2010This debate came about after watching Dan Henderson throw his fist square into the face of the cocky out-cold brit Michael Bisping. The notion that Henderson threw himself down to the ground faster than gravity was the point of contention with myself claiming that nothing could fall faster than gravity. The example of a soccer [...]
Site refresh
March 27, 2010I figured it was about time to upgrade wordpress and update the style of the site. I doubt I’ll use it any more but it is an interesting exercise nonetheless.
I used http://www.colourlovers.com/copaso to come up with the colour palette and the side scrolling theme is based on wplatformer. Of course the underlying backend is still [...]
Alpheidae
October 5, 2008Something interesting I found while doing research for my corrosion assignment-
The “Pistol Shrimp” or Alpheidae has a special claw, just one special claw, that can cause a small pocket of cavitation.
This cavitation causes a shockwave of about 80kPa at up to about 4cm from the claw. That’s enough to blast a hole through shells!
This little [...]

Duckies!
Outside the engineering building.
Not going soft btw with all of these rainbows and ducks. I would have posted an Audi s5 but it was driving too fast.
Court Summons
July 30, 2008I got home the other day to a pair of quite concerned parents. I had a letter, addressed to me, with the insignia and address of the ’sherrifs department’ printed in the upper corner.
They hadnt opened my mail, something which happens occasionally (probably not as much as my friend who shares the same initials as [...]
Global Transit Thoughts
February 6, 2008It takes me 45 minutes to drive to work.
This is interesting because I could reach any other point on earth quicker.
Let me explain:
If you drilled a hole through the earth and installed a set of frictionless rails (or some kind of vaccuum tube). The time it takes to go from one side of the [...]
Lessons Learned 2006: Shit happens
February 6, 2007You can drive as carefully as you want, it doesn’t stop people from hitting you.
Yes, I had a car crash in 2006. The end to the era of the Laser, a car which was purchased for $2. Thats not to say that it wasn’t an extremely valuable car because I really relied on its convenience [...]
Satisfaction for Speed:Carbon
November 9, 2006
I just completed the latest Need iteration, Need for speed:Carbon in less than 24 hours. Thats right, I started at around midnight on Tuesday, the day of my manufacturing exam and finished it at about 6:00 on Wednesday. I didn’t play the whole time, rather the game is actually fairly short. I would put the [...]
Fall for Jungle
September 16, 2006
Last week we went to see the Whitlams live at the gov.
It was great, here are some pictures.
For the 4th or 5th song (of what seemed like hundreds) they played a breakbeat version of “Fall for You”. Laying in bed this morning I decided I really liked it so I mixed up a version.
So here [...]
Pure Candy(bar) k750i
September 9, 2006
Remeber my v3 Razr? Now that I have got rid of it I can admit that it was pure arse.
The menus were slow, the features were few, the processor was slow, the bluetooth was intermittent, the reception was poor, it frequently dropped calls and on top of all that it made me look like a [...]

Beating the Petrol Pump
August 21, 2006I am one who likes to work out ways to ‘circimvent’ the system. When it comes to day to day things like paying for parking or bus tickets, you know that I always have something hatching.
Petrol is one of the biggest weekly costs for me and many others in these times of high petrol costs [...]
