Have I mentioned lately just how good Wolfmother is? Enjoying them & more excellent rock on V, the last channel watched. Thanks. ;-) [rockportrait]

Promethean Activeboard is very cool. Looking forward to using it more. [rockportrait]

Finding it challenging to accept the laziness of others in business. That & the common case of empty promises. Can't change it, must cope. [rockportrait]

Fell asleep at midnight while watching Amazing Race, on my very hard couch. Woke up still there at 9am! Must have really been tired. [rockportrait]

One of the longest buses I've ever seen reversed perfectly into the tiny street next to Lotteria. Wow, great job! http://yfrog.com/ht86aj [rockportrait]

Observed a whitening-cream abuser ride past on a scooter. For a moment I thought I was looking at Michael Jackson. No 7-11 in sight, though. [rockportrait]

Vietnam is a land of contradictions, and contradictions keep life interesting. Could be what makes it perfect for me. [rockportrait]

Upcoming classroom management workshop will be like chickens teaching foxes how to hunt. Perhaps a security guard will be keynote speaker. [rockportrait]

Vietnam 5th happiest place in the world? Incredibly flawed survey. Read the fine print. http://bit.ly/cbWCY2 [rockportrait]

Saigon is such a small place if you're an ex-pat. Everyone knows someone you know. [rockportrait]

Just discovered I have a third USB port, labeled 'eSATA'. Nice. Now, if only I knew what else I could plug into that. [rockportrait]

Public is the new Private. Twitter & Facebook are the new ways to express relationship blues. Hard to find real news through the noise. [rockportrait]

Cleaner just peeled & segmented a whole Pomelo in under 5 minutes. Wow! Only thing is, she didn't ask if I wanted it done. Pomelo for brekky [rockportrait]

Just installed new battery in old lappy, updated Win7 from RC to Home Ultimate, & now it has stopped booting. Grrr! Will try Linux Mint next [rockportrait]

Listening to an 18yo Viet girl purging all her secrets to a 60yo European guy. Her words are all too familiar but lunch partner a worry. [rockportrait]

Got Ross & John (3AW) on sleep timer. Miss the Rumour File. What's with all the storms? [rockportrait]

If Darwin was right, it's possible that eventually our eardrums will get smaller and our vocal cords larger. But a volume nob would be nice [rockportrait]
|
|
|
And seeing as Autotune seems to be nowhere around, I reckon there's a lot of Milli Vanilli's on our TV sets. [rockportrait]
|

|
All Asian pop music videos look the same. The 'Kelloggs" stance seems to be a favourite right now. [rockportrait]
|
|

Still semi-invisible while lesser lights get what I want. I can deal with it because the long-term rewards are worth it. [rockportrait]
|

|
Starting to get it. It's a "glass half full" country. They don't realize that what they have is so good. [rockportrait]

The secret of life? Rabbits. [rockportrait]

Just realised the Boston Legal & 24 box sets I bought are the real deal! At AUD25 each that's amazing value. [rockportrait]

What a strange film Inglourious Basterds is. Started as believable high tension drama, and degenerated slowly into poor comedic silliness. [rockportrait]

You little ripper! YouTube works. My iPhone is finally back to running on all 8 cylinders. [rockportrait]
|
|
|
Very excited. Installed Push Doctor & suddenly my Location Derector works! Now to see if it fixed Youtube. [rockportrait]

Now I know why I am both a musician AND a photographer. Both music & photography are an art and a science. http://bit.ly/a3eTjo [rockportrait]

Yes! Authentic Aussie meat pie and dead horse in front of me. No footy match in sight, though. [rockportrait]

Eating alone way too often lately. My new best friend is Wiley Fidelity. [rockportrait]

Been noticing a lot more full moons in Saigon than I ever remember at home. Do they come more often here, or is time flying faster for me? [rockportrait]

Oooo, just in time Friedrich Engels said "An ounce of action is worth a ton of theory." I guess he reads my blog. [rockportrait]

OK wait. It might not be Chrome after all. Firefox has just started doing it, after working well all day. Is it FB? What else could it be? [rockportrait]

So close to having what I need. But each time it's within reach it suddenly takes a sharp turn, slips through my fingers & accelerates away. [rockportrait]

Feeling very run down. Returning to days of too much work & nowhere near enough sleep. :-( Where's my Pomelo? [rockportrait]
|
|
|
So disappointed I have to drop Chrome again. Was so promising until it started messing up Facebook pages. Not the first time it's happened. [rockportrait]
|

|
Students asked me if I'd drunk a lot of wine. No, it's sunburn again. Lots of swimming & lazing at Bo Cap Vang. Thanks so much for taking me [rockportrait]

Need a juvenile language filter on Facebook to hide squirm-inducing declarations like "woot" and "weeeeee". Eugh! [rockportrait]

did you keep the number plate??
Absolutely. It’s been my web nick ever since I can remember. Doesn’t belong to anybody else, and as much as they wanted it, they can’t have it.
It will go on my next car, whenever that is.
@Stephen McGrath
