Fitzroy – The signs of the town

Another part of our Melbourne trip was a night time excursion to Fitzroy and dinner at St Judes Cellar (Wonderful, try it out… Restaurants with bottle shops in the front!)

Anyhow, came accross some rather wonderful little images I wanted to share.

Grafitti fun from Melbourne

We were in Melbourne a couple of weeks ago, and as I was guided around the city by the nice people from Hidden Secrets tours in Melbourne. They showed us a heap of cools stores and told some really wonderful stories about the place (we were lucky enough to have the founder Fiona Sweetman do the tour for us).

Here are some pics (mainly graffiti… )

Putin – Taking on the world. From the economist

I thought you might be interested in this bit of Audio from the Economist last week discussing Putin’s moves in Georgia.  http://audiovideo.economist.com/

Interesting in this context, is ABC Radio National’s Rear Vision program on the background into how the conflict has come about and the origins of the nationalist movement is South Ossetia and Abkhazia. Check it out here

I came accross this great site today (thanks to lost at eminor) called face your manga, where you can create a great manga styled character, to use as an avatar. Check it out here

This is what you could look like, and to create one for yourself check out Face your Manga

Olympics Day 2 – Not bored yet

So here it is, I am sitting here enjoying field Hockey. Possibly because the country i support is winning, but still compelling.

I have enjoyed an afternoon of listening to both the Kill Bill sound tracks. Nobody selects music like Quentin Tarantino – here is a Wiki link talking about them.
