A trip through Chernobyl and Belorussia, by a very brave lady on a Kawasaki.

edit: OK, so she didn’t ride around on the kawasaki. I like the photos though, dammit - even if they’re not all hers.

New category

Just a quick note - I’ve added a new blogroll category, called ‘Obsessions’. Everything there relates to my writing/notebook/planner fetish.

If you don’t understand… just look away!

I love New Zealand news…

Especially when you get articles like this:

A Motueka man who claimed to have been left speaking Australian after being raped by a wombat has been sentenced to 75 hours’ community work for his trouble.

This could be my new favourite page.

In other news, I’ve very much enjoyed reading Peter Beagle’s “Come, Lady Death” this afternoon.

New Mac

Well, testing, testing, and all that jazz, cause I’m writing this on my new MacBook! Luckily, it only took a day or so to set up the wireless connectivity to the network (problems with the DNS settings, but they are all sorted now).

So far… well, the most I can say really is that it feels strange. Strange to be using a completely different OS for starters, but also interesting. Today I found downloadsquad, which has a whole lot of information on different applications, widgets and the rest, which was quite a big help to me, as I knew sort of what I wanted, but had no idea where to look.

Applications that, so far, seem quite cool and interesting include: MindNode, ecto (what I’m writing this with), CopyWrite, Scrivener, Journler, and photo drop. All very cool applications, though I’m really only just learning about them all. Which I decide to stick with will be another story.

Big Huge Labs

I’ve only just seen some of these apps today, but they look really great:
