Post-Homophobic Australia

One small thing I had forgotten when I wrote my enthusiastic piece about Australia’s enlightment. They even have public Glory Holes! “Golden Hole” is the Aussie slang word for it and they are even signposted from the highway – way to go Berlin! Hats off.

Headed for the Ocean

From the Tablelands back to the coast, to Mission Beach to be precise.

Fragments

The random play feature of my Media Monkey app has produced some very nice combinations so far. In fact, some of them are so perfect that I think an AI has developed in this very phone. You are not convinced? Here’s three examples that proof that IT has passed the turing test. 1. Play “Student…
