Interesting to see that Emirates Team New Zealand has been doing some practice racing against Alinghi again. And it doesn’t look good for them if they defeat Luna Rossa in the Louis Vuitton Cup finals.
In other sailing news, Rohan is going about 10% faster, so he should easily win the upcoming moth worlds. The only […]

I’m most definitely no expert on “The Secret“, though from what I’ve heard about it, it’s just a load of crap thought up by some motivational speaker. For those that don’t know what “The Secret” is, make sure to watch the Chaser segment below.

There’s a really big steep hill that goes from my place down to Balmoral Beach, the street is called Awaba st. One of the famous rugby players who lives in the area started a running contest to run up the bloody thing, today was the day and so I went for a wander to take […]

These people most certainly aren’t.
I think I may have a slender chance at taking the fruitcake record, though no chance on the rest of them!

Surprising nobody, the kiwi’s have beaten the spanish (who did mighty well to get this far and take a couple of races off the kiwi’s).
I haven’t been following the AC quite as closely as others, using Linux also rules out makes it more difficult viewing the AC via the web methods, I’m sure with a […]

Unfortunately on sunday night while at the Hunter Valley I came down with the flu… or similar, and have been in bad shape ever since.
My mum (non drinker) is convinced that it was the couple of glasses of wine that made me sick, I think it’s more likely a combination of things.
We had a good […]

The bladeriders have been having a bit of a coaching weekend yesterday, today and tomorrow. I took the camera over to the club yesterday hoping to maybe get some photos, though sadly they spent all their time (while foiling) miles away, every time they’d get anywhere near where I was they’d stop and potter around […]

I’ve been going crazy (in a mental assylum kind of way) recently, all caused by the computer I believe, so I’ve been trying to get away as much as possible.
I haven’t been doing any trading and only the bare essentials to keep clients happy. The last couple of days I went out GeoCaching the first […]

The UN has released the 4th report on climate change, and it turns out that the cost for tackling climate change would be barely noticeable (a measly 0.1% of global GDP)
…global economic growth would be 0.1% a year lower than it otherwise would have been.

While I don’t expect to see much here in Australia since we don’t have a challenger, I would have expected that the rest of the world had better coverage, turns out that ACM (Alinghi) are being cheap skates.
Just like you can’t blame Valencia for forcing the LVC to be raced in Valencia’s “off season”, don’t […]
