04 September 2010, 6:04pm Lizzie said today that we should check what the picture was today on google, because it's daddy's birthday and they have special pictures on special days. It turns out it was the 25th anniversary of the buccy ball. Clearer, Sharper and 25% Geekier - Journal - Family - Link 30 September 2009, 9:25pm It kind of had to happen, I guess. I now have glasses! There wasn't anything majorly wrong, I have an astigmatism which I think means that my cornea is more like a football than a disc, and now things that I never really noticed were blurry, are actually really sharp. Another thing the optometrist said is that I might have less trouble differentiating between what is almost a square and a true square, which might explain why I sometimes have trouble working out if a screen resolution is the correct aspect ratio for a particular screen. sometimes you need to read the whole story - Journal - Stuff - Link 25 August 2009, 4:13am I received this alert in my inbox last week:  if you were just reading the headlines, you could easily be a little worries. Here's the slightly extended version...  The truth is I get these fairly often, and by the looks of it Leading Senior Constable Snell is doing a great job protecting the fine people of Bendigo. Child-proof containers - Journal - Bec - Link 16 May 2009, 2:23pm We bought some children's vitamins recently, just to help the girls along a bit, keep them healthier and hopefully ward away some winter colds and flus. Beccy was up early this morning and she got her vitamin and Lizzie's out and they both took them. When Bern told me this I was a bit confused. I went and looked at the container, and sure enough, it has a child-proof lid. I asked Beccy how she openend it and she said "I read the instructions on the lid, While Pushing Down Turn" and she showed me that while it took a while she was in fact able to get the bottle open. The scary thing is that I doubt she would have worked it out if it wasn't written there. Google maps - Journal - Web - Link 16 May 2009, 9:55am Google maps rocks. I've blogged about it before on the company blog at: The Tech Doctor Blog . This morning I wanted to know how far it was from home to Arizona, USA, so I went to get directions and typed in Lilydale, VIC 3140, Australia and Tempe, Arizona 85281. There 3 modes of transport, Car, public transport and walk. I left it on car. I clicked on Get Directions and was delivered the following map:  Note the direction I've put the red box around noting a partial toll road... That was rather funny, so I decided to change the mode of transport to "by walking". The first thing I noticed was a warning: "Walking directions are in beta. Use caution – This route may be missing sidewalks or pedestrian paths." Okay, that may be a fair warning, or is it just a bizzare sense of humour... Then I noticed how long the list of directions was.. Here are some highlights of the trip:  There is a total of 1331 directions all up. Well done to the google maps team for being so thorough.
