Meteor caught on Film!


November 23rd

It’s not often an astronomical event like this is caught on film, so it’s lucky this police car video camera got such an amazing piece of footage.

Deography News


November 21st

Hello Dear Reader,

As you can probably tell, I’ve been paying a lot more attention to you guys and taking some time to clean up around here, and actually post some new content (photos, music, designs) when I get a chance. It’s been really great to see so many returning visitors and hear your kind comments.

Anyway just briefly wanted to say thankyou, and also let you know one of my images was posted at one of my daily RSS favorites, Abduzeedo one of the most popular design blogs in the world. As a photographer, it was really flattering to be posted amongst so many talented designers work so check it out! It’s a great site with lots of daily “inspiration”.

You may have noticed the new “mobile upload” image at the top of the page. This is a separate little gallery made up of photos I’m currently taking on my iphone. The really nifty thing is that I post them from my iPhone mere moments after taking the photo. For the nerds out there, I email the picture to an address I’ve set to pipe to a shell script with strips the MIME info out of the email, converts it to a file and moves it into the gallery folder where bolGallery does the rest. So basically, that gallery is “real time” and you get the photo as it happens! This also means you get to see the larger photo before I do, having just taken and emailed it!

Finally, I’ve also added a “submit” address in case anyone wants to send me anything of interest for this little blog.

Thats enough from me… carry on!

Website (Blog) Gender Analyzer


November 18th

This nifty little website scan’s your webpage and tells you whether it was written by a man or a woman. Evidently my website lacks gender bias in it’s writing style to be obvious but it did get it right. (”We guess http://deography.com is written by a man (58%), however it’s quite gender neutral.”)

http://www.genderanalyzer.com/

Some other websites and their results :

The Echo : “We think http://www.echo.net.au is written by a man (73%).”
BYRN : “We think http://byrn.blogspot.com/ is written by a man (69%).”
Total Travel : “We have strong indicators that http://www.totaltravel.com.au is written by a man (100%).”

For all I know this could be accurate.. how does it work for you?

Bees take over a BBQ! (photos)


November 17th

(Text from Email FWD preserved…)

Using the bbq this weekend… so i thought ill clean it up..

I have known there were bee’s coming from under the cover so i thought i’d kill them, obviously…

So here’s the bbq in question

now I know these bombs aren’t for bee’s and that but i thought i’ll suffocate/smoke them out. So here is the weapon of choice and delivery system.

I thought I was pretty smart hehehe designed to be easierly manovered under the cover of darkness… so then I release the weapon of buzz destruction.

OMFG! the sound from under the cover was incredible! You could hear it 3m away easy… Then I ran like the clappers… coming back few mins later to see the death toll.

I continued to remove the cover and to light the bbq to give it a clean when i noticed some fattly looking substance on the top of th side shelf thing…. Bit weird

I clean it before i put it away for winter and no way was there fat there so i begun to wonder…
NO… it can’t be could it?  I slowly removed the rest of the cover only to find the HQ.
