I am so angry!


It may seem like normally I don’t care but, it's just I don’t argue with idiots. Now, however, I’ve been pushed over the edge.


If it didn’t effect anyone I would leave things be. Live and let live. Like I do with flat earthers who are currently harmless. Anti vaxers have kindergarten police to deal with ( only so long as they don’t open their own anti vaxer day care. It would be expensive though. Wheelchair ramps are not cheap).

BUT this is different.

I shake my head and try and empathise. I can't. It goes against science, logic, Occam’s Razor and even to some degree religion. I say even religion because, let’s be honest, you can make up whatever you want.

What happened over the weekend in Charlottesville is unfathomable as it is unacceptable. The hate that the white supremacy groups harbor towards anyone not white (everyone they believe is not white enough or whatever...the mind boggles) does not make sense. Well it doesn’t make sense to any rational, logical, human focused person. 

I mean there is so much shit going on in the world, there always has been, and I dare say there probably always will be.
I often joke to myself, those currently who affiliate with white supremacy look so dim they would probably be murdered by the Nazi’s in WW2. Anyway this is not about judging a book by its cover. It’s more about how to change these attitudes OR what can be done to shake this shit out of white supremacists.

In the movie American History X, Ed Norton’s character plays a neo Nazi who goes to prison for murdering a black man. Whilst in prison he is shown compassion and kindness by a black prisoner and eventually Ed sees the error of his ways. The Faustian twist at the end aside, kindness wins the day. This is inappropriate and unworkable for today though. For one, prison as an institution of education would seem too good an idea to actually work. And why not have them, now referred to as AltRightists, educated and shown the error of their ways before they commit a crime and perpetuate the hate?

How do we do this? 

For those starting school there needs to be a common thread of humanity being taught. But it’s hard enough to get a good education in many places, let alone one that expounds that ‘all people are created equal’.

So for those older than school age AltRightists the answer is tough love.

Sounds great Adam! How does it work?

In order to change the mind of an AltRightist, from ‘eveything about me is fundamentally better than all nonwhites and everything about nonwhites is a detriment to my physical person and the world at large' to ‘fuck I was wrong, what have I been going with my life? ’ you need a big shock. Not ECT, although I hear it’s making a positive come back, but still in the realm of medicine. Blood.

The idea of pure blood is a thing, more so with the breeding of animals for food and sport and leisure (complains go on the other page) but also with these AltRightist, white supremacy, Neo Nazi hate groups. I imagine that an AltRightist will use hand sanitizer after shaking hands with a nonwhite. (Btw if you don’t you’re a shit AltRightist).

If they don’t the nonwhite germs would get into their body, move into their brains and affect them in adverse ways. Such that they may, lie, cheat, steal, have non marital sex, extra marital sex, murder etc. Because normally AltRightists don’t do any of these.  

I see the AltRightist relationship to a nonwhite as being the relationship between a Vampire and holy water. It burns.

So to my point of tough love, blood, education, shock and the question, ‘how to you shake the shit out of an AltRightist?’ You transfuse them with something that they believe would have an adverse nay lethal effect on them. The blood of a nonwhite!

What needs to happen is when an AltRightist needs a blood transfusion they are given the blood of a nonwhite. Same blood type, a 100% match but from a nonwhite. They are told it is the blood of a nonwhite, they have no choice in the matter. I’m seeing them writhing in anticipated, existential pain and speaking in tongues like Regan MacNeil being compelled by the power of Christ.

After which, in their minds, I imagine, they cry for loss of purity, start acting neurotic and laugh annoyingly while asking for Mr Sheffield. Then lie, cheat, steal, have non marital sex, extra marital sex, murder etc…and blame it on the blood.

In my mind the stupidity of people can be curtailed one way or another. In reality all things, regardless of how evil they are, can be justified. 

How resourceful are humans!

So my ‘AltRightist blood transfusion with nonwhite blood’ method of dehating an AltRightist is a failure. Maybe there is no cure for hate and this goes on forever. If this is the case, and let’s assume it is, these AltRightist people and groups must not be tolerated, must always be shunned, must be pointed out for what they are, a regression in development of the human species, and a waste of time for everyone. I’m not saying it’s a waste to put an end to AltRightists stupidity but there could be time much better spent if there were no AltRightists.

End note. I was laughing to myself while walking home. Thinking of the extremist of extreme Neo Nazi being told they are now receiving my A+ Jewish blood. Looking at the horror their eyes. Their screams of ‘No! NO!’ (I’d imaging if you’re that horrified you’d either say that or nothing at all). Writhing in (imagined) pain as the blood was transfused. And once completed and the needle was removed, the first thing to come out of their mouth is a laugh form The Nanny (Fran Drescher).


Their laughter goes on and on as they cry uncontrollably with sadness, and hate themselves.

EO - Year One

The first time I heard about EO, Entrepreneurs' Organization (a little over 12 months ago) I couldn’t believe that an organisation like that existed and that I had never heard of it. A year, 11 forums and a retreat later and I don’t know what I’d have done without it. 

For me the idea of forum, a group of strangers who become confidants and supporters, honest and upfront, trusting and also reliant seemed a little confronting but was also something I knew I needed. My day to day work sees me sitting in an office, alone, without the interaction and stimulation that I thrive on. No contemporaries to bounce ideas off no group idea generation. 


This is why the forum has been most rewarding. Each of us brings ideas, concepts, thoughts and feelings together once a month. We each become willing spectators (albeit with the ability of be a bit hands on) in each other journeys. 


For the past year my forum, Moso, have been involved with my journey rolling out the tech startup Woojer


No one in my forum had been involved with a tech start-up before, but the nature of EO means that it’s not an issue. Many experiences in business and life are similar and these common goals or understandings can be shared and knowledge transferred. Dealing with key stake holders, marketing, publicity, financial matters, stresses (and how to deal with them) to name a few.


Last week I made the spur of the moment decision to go to LA for the launch of Woojer. The first people I told were Moso. Making the decision to go has huge for me. It was so exciting and I know Moso were just as excited for my journey as I was.



Woojer is a personal subwoofer. 

Music lovers: the device makes you feel like you are physically at a concert. 

Gamers: it allows you to feel like you are physically a part of a game, feeling bullets, concussive blasts of explosions, people sneaking up behind you or any other sensory gaming experience. 


The hearing impaired: It gives anyone with low or no hearing the chance to enjoy a more sensory experience of the world around them.




We've received some great press from the likes of Forbes and All Things D

Do you remember the times (Blogging twice in one day is about as unusual as me blogging at all.)

I was looking though old family photos and came across this one from my birthday a few years back.

Im the one on the middle flanked by my 2 grandmothers. Rose one the left (dec, MHDSRIN) and Dinah on the right.







For me it was just another birthday playing the fool. For them it looks like a combination of entertainment, disbelief and bewilderment.

The waiting game

I could be doing more. but i can feel content doing nothing.

why try and inflame the issue with action. i feel content doing nothing.

mundane becomes a highlight. mundane is few and far between.

what is there now? i feel content doing nothing.

Craptastic!! I'm not interrested!

OLD BLOG - Freedom of Speech

I found this old Blog from 2006.

It was when those Danish Cartoons came out. You remember!

any who...this is what i wrote.


Freedom of Speech

Can we all just grow up please.

No one wants to have their "Prophet" ridiculed.But...let's say our prophet is "characterized in a unsavoury way" would he/she want us to be intelligent, compassionate, educated, conciliatory about the whole thing, or would he/she want us to burn, destroy, scare, threaten, become violent.

I would offer the former as the choice of all Prophets.

NUFF SAID!

It's Time To Say Good Bye







I never thought moving house would be such a chore. I just thought everyone who said moving house was a chore were dumb asses. Who knows, maybe they are. 

Getting rid of items that at times were close like friends is hard though.

I GOT NOTHING!!


I've been fixing my friend's PC most of the day.

I get so surly when people DO NOT set their computer up the correct way (the way i do)

The MOST annoying thing though is that i cannot put any of my pics up from someone's place coz i dont have the right equipment with me...and a posting with out a pic if McCrap.

I hope this suffices.

Australian Synchrotron



I went on a tour of The Australian Synchrotron at Monash University.




It was most impressive but there were no moving parts
so it got a bit boring.







The Synchrotron is just a big torch but the light it
generates is so powerful it can see through metal!

'Meh' earns an official place in the Collins English Dictionary

I felt a connection to Meh. I knew it was not mine but i loved it like my own 

Now it seems im forced to admit (1) it's popularity (2) I have to share.




While i will admit to it popularity i cannot bring myself to share. 

I will never use MEH again!!
