Victorian Bush Fires : 2009

So I am sitting at my computer. It is an adverage day outside, eighteen degrees slightly windy and thick white clouds are drifting slowly past the window. Today’s choice of clothes is a pair of jeans and a jumper with the sleeves rolled up past my elbows. The only thing that can remind me of the terrible things happening right now is TweetDeck, which every 5 – 10 minutes flashes up with warnings, news updates or links from 774 ABC Melbourne.

This weekend was horrible.

He is the ‘they’ in ‘thats what they say’…

So I am feeling like my blogging abilities are failing me. My extraordinary ability to waffle crap is being left for dead by, what I would call, my blogging inspiration. Hooley has blitzed in the last week with three entries. THREE! I fail, and I can’t even say that I told him to blog, it was his own decision to start…

Check out his blog. Once you read, you’ll delete all your previous RSS feeds, and live off Hooley. One feed for a thirsty Generation.

Web Start Ups
