Brog Blog

Firstly an apology to all for not updating this blog in a long time. I have been spending a lot of time on the Electric Motorcycle Blog so this site has been neglected.  My new job and my electric bike has been taking a lot of my time and so my photography and other projects [...]

So I am home today not feeling too well and it is all my own fault.  On Saturday while getting stuff ready to go to the recycling center I bumped my head.  Doesn’t sound to bad does it.  Well I bumped my head on the latch of the garage door, you know that sharp angular [...]

After 13 years with my current employer I am moving on.  I have the opportunity to join a new team within one of our Federal Government Departments and make a significant difference to the computing systems and software development methodologies.

So far this year has flown by, quantity of work and pressures to deliver on time has not given me much time to do much other than work and live.  I have started work on an electric bike but effort has been limited to about 4 – 8 hours a week. Dani is currently up [...]

In the next week or two I should have some major news. Stay tuned.

Ok so my brother has had all but one round of Chemo now. His latest PET scan gave him an all clear so that is great. Now they have to decide to do two rounds of radiation treatment to be sure. Either way he will be home in June at the latest. Way to go [...]

Well it had to happen some time, I came of the bike today.  I am ok a swollen knee with some skin burned off.  I was wearing my full kit on, my big boots, draggin jeans, jacket with armor, leather full gloves and my new full face helmet. Basically I had a bad headache this [...]

Ok this won’t be a post about how old this makes me feel… My daughter is going to her Yr10 Formal in just over 1 hour and I will be spending most of that time taking photos of her prior to driving her to the event. Photos coming here.

That’s right I’m bringing the Mo back because I’m passionate about tackling men’s health issues and being proactive in the fight against men’s depression and prostate cancer. To donate to my Mo you can either: 1. Click this link Movember and donate online [...]

It had been a mild winter up until about a week ago.  Over the last five days each morning has been below -3 degrees celsius in the mornings.  One morning is was -5 when I was heading into work at 8am. Even our fish pond has been freezing just a little.

My lovely wife decided that I could have an early birthday present.  So after much contemplation (about 5 minutes) I decided to pick up a new updated computer, and boy am I loving it.
