    Support of Gay Rights in Pro Cycling?

    If you look at how many pro cyclists there are, statistically, gay cyclists must exist. And, if cycling is anything like most sports, their team mates know and do not care (I know for a fact that there is at least one gay Bulldogs NRL player in Sydney). That said, as in everyday life, there...

    Great Cinema - Short Clips

    Yesterday I saw Beasts of the Southern Wild. It's like what would happen if Terrence Malick shot a script by Hayao Miyazaki. In a bayou community called the Bathtub, separated from the rest of the world by a levee lives 6 year old Hushpuppy and her sick father Wink, meanwhile, ancient creatures...

    Cricket- the sport not the insect

    I mute the TV and listen to the radio. Harsha Bhogle and Kerry O'Keeffe are brilliant. And the rest are very good, with the exception of Drew Morphett, who can be a little jingoistic. They have lots of anecdotes, and actually give some insight into what's happening, rather than promoting the...

    Music! What are you listening to now?

    I'm only going to assume that's a parody. But they've got Sufjan Stevens as a 'safe' musician, despite him about kissing a boy in one of his songs. EDIT: 'Touching his back with my hand I kiss him' in the Predatory wasp of the palisades is out to get us. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRW2g2l49fk

    Music! What are you listening to now?

    Speaking of covers, that's a cover of the original by Architecture in Helsinki. It's difficult to say if one is better than the other, but it adds something different to the song, as a cover should.

    Krebs' Free form/Chaos Thread

    If the radiance of a thousand suns were to burst into the sky, that would be like the splendour of the Mighty One. I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds. The Bhagavad Gita

    Steve Jobs, February 24, 1955 - October 5, 2011

    He created the greatest brand of our time. The ubiquity of those white headphones - everyone knows what they're connected to, and who created it. I own a macbook, iphone, ipad and several Pixar dvds. We've lost a great technological innovator, on par with the likes of Marconi and the...
