Went to Luna Park yesterday. It's like the show only with less people, slower rides, less lines, no showbags and much cheaper. A $33.95 ride pass gets you as many rides as you want all day. We rode everything at least once, even the crappy Ghost Train.
They have an old interactive experience ride from SEGA (Odyssey AS1) staring a bored looking but still freakily mutated Michael Jackson. Funnily enough there is nothing telling you this frightening fact anywhere on the ride or on the website. A Google search for Odyssey AS1 only comes up with Luna Park so this could be the only place left in the world to ride this disaster of early 90s graphics and hydrolics. Although I'm guessing elsewhere that it's called something different.
The scenic railway is still the most terrifying ride. Every rattle and bump and clatter is like the last you'll every hear as the whole thing comes crumbling down.
Apparently there was a horse race on yesterday?
I'm waiting until the weekend or next week to see the final Matrix film. I hate the rush.
With iTunes kicking along, it seems online sales of single tracks is beating offline physical sales of CD Singles. You get more with a CD Single though... like the physical CD, cover art and b-sides.
Scripting News Dave discovers a potential replacement for his cigarettes...
Three cheers for dentists! And I found one that does nitrous oxide. Nice effect. Wouldn't mind doing it again.
Sounds like Josh had a nice day yesterday driving up to Otway Fly Treetop Walk. Sounds like it is possible to drive to the Otways, have a nice day and drive back without too much trouble. I will give this a try.
There is nothing better than the way back machine, particularly when you get an email that says "did you ever see this excellent website? it's gone now but..."
Microsoft plans to buy Google?
I hope you haven't bought a house recently. Rates went up 0.25% today too.
The computer I have at work (when on the bench in the office, three days a week) is a piece of crap. The internet is slow and almost useless (if fact, at the moment it is broken). I'd be far better off at home on the days I'm on the bench. I'd at least be able to access to information I need. I might even find some serious quiet time to study for these Microsoft exams everyone seems to think you need.
But I'd probably spend all day wasting my time. Oh well.
If I was Prime Minister I'd pump millions of dollars into our Library system.
MTV is getting into the commercial music download business. I keep thinking it's good to see more people getting into this. Thinking that competition will drive down prices, but there is no competition. All of these online music stores only have one supplier, the music industry.
... no matter how high our pay has risen in the past or may rise in the future, we'll always be fully committed. We'll always feel that we're just making ends meet, with nothing to spare.
on another point
And men who own a lawnmower or whipper snipper average about an hour a week longer on grounds care than those who don't.
That's because people who don't have a whipper snipper or lawnmower either don't have a garden/lawn or pay some guy $20 a month/fortnight to do it for them. Duh. Same probably goes for everything else.
