Orientation week

28 April 2003 – 10:58 pm

Well, we’ve survived the first week!
Orientation week has been a nice slow week, and has given us planty of time to settle in and get used to the place. Our DTS crew includes a bunch of islanders - mostly from Fiji - and folks from as far and wide as Canada, New Zealand, Indonesia, Samoa, [...]

YWAM begins!

20 April 2003 – 10:04 pm

Well, today is the day! Officially, our YWAM DTS starts today at 4:00pm! I’m really excited about it. It’s just great to be doing something completely different from the usual stuff of business and suburban life for a change. We’re just down the road in Surrey Hills at the YWAM base there. We have a [...]

Dubious…

20 April 2003 – 9:54 pm

It now looks like yesterday’s blog about media manipulation may all be a big lie. The site where that stuff came from looks more and more like a white supremacist’s attempt at a credible news site… There’s another story in there about a rabbi supposedly coming out with some revisionist stuff about the Holocaust. That [...]

Disturbing media manipulation

19 April 2003 – 9:15 pm

Here’s a collection of US media agency memos directing journos to manipulate their reporting. I find this whole thing detestable. Here’s one example memo that makes me ill:
(April 7 ) …no shots of GIs looting in Baghdad. Iraqi looters should be described as “joyful” at being liberated by US. Looting to be described as a [...]

The wife was right!

19 April 2003 – 8:29 am

See I told you! Karen predicted a sale in four days. The fourth day was Thursday, and guess what?! We got an offer well after close of business and the price was right so we accepted! The house is SOLD! It’s an awesome feeling starting YWAM knowing that issue is put to bed.

Amazing advert

18 April 2003 – 8:24 am

The new ad for the Honda Accord (dunno where it’s being released) is great! I have no idea how they did it, but I love it! Makes me want to be a kid again.

Listen to the wife!

18 April 2003 – 7:58 am

Karen said the house would sell in 4 days, like I mentioned a few days ago.
And guess what?! We got an offer tonight, and as I speak, I think there may be another offer being phoned in! God is good! This means we can pack the house up a little (since there will be no [...]

Bush Administration’s Foreign Policy explained

17 April 2003 – 11:10 pm

I’ve tried making sense of it. I reckon this article does a pretty good job. Leave a comment and let me know what you think.

Free trade or prostituting ourselves?

17 April 2003 – 10:46 am

I dunno who Sean Healy is but his latest article is sobering for Aussies. It explains what’s happening with the current Free Trade Agreement talks between Australia and the US. The US have perfected the art of colonialisation by economic manipulation in South America and, well, Australia’s just a hop over the Pacific, isn’t it?!
Apparently [...]
