I’m 35. I live in Canberra. Yes, on purpose, I like it here. I have a partner called Owen and we have a 4 year old son, Sage, and a baby, Jethro, who was born in January although sadly not on Elvis’ birthday. It would have been so cool to call him Elvis and only let him wear white suits, but them’s the breaks.
I freelance a tiny bit for a really groovy organisation helping with their corporate blog and newsletter. Before that I worked as a research assistant at ANU, but I’ve done quite a few things for work, generally involving arguing and writing. I like windsurfing and raging.
Credits and Thanks
This blog is brought to you by the kindness of Comrade Liam Hogan of stoush.net, who set me up and told me to “fix it ’til it breaks“. Which I did. Several times. Thanks, Liam, you rock.
The main banner was fiddled up with the assistance of Ampersand Duck, who is a genius you should hire for all your letterpress and design needs. Although you might want to know that her photoshop skillz are so intense it broke my work computer. The main banner features Mrs Betty Weider (neé Brosmer) on the cover of Cloud ‘9′ magazine in 1959. It’s a “58 page magazine filled with beautiful Naked Ladies - some XXL Busted - All Extremely Sexy” if you’re interested. The cloud background is from a photograph by netjeff, and is used under a Creative Commons licence, the conditions of which are here.
The gargoyle in the complaint policy banner is by *Fly*, and is used with permission. Check out *Fly*’s photos on Flickr.
The other banners use photos I have taken.
The theme is PressRow, by Chris Pearson who also has a personal blog. Of course.
