I can't remember a year that has been as strange as this year. Very few typhoons and many thunder storms in summer and now more rain in winter.

I'd just like a few days to ride my bike. Seems like a tall ask these days.

I was just reflecting on the week that I've had.

It's been quite a week of highs and lows. I've managed to do a few firsts this week, as well as finish a few things that have been hanging on for a while.

I've also had a bit of an emotional week. I listen to podcasts daily. The podcasts that I listen to tend to vary in topic, from economics to politics to IT discussions. This week I've had a few that have almost bought me to tears. "Food for thought" as they say.

I do enjoy thinking.

23 days until Santa....

It's Saturday, and we have decided to take a little time out to have a little fun. This fun comes in the form of 2 Kyosho Inferno Radio control buggies. They are a blast!!

20 minutes and you are refreshed and have the biggest smile on your face.

It's also starting to get cold with the temperature this week down somewhere near or below zero. Take care everyone.

I love the cold weather.

We have just launched our website for our Juku system.

http://www.hyakuten.net

This aim of this system is to allow smaller to medium sized Juku schools to become web enabled with both their office workings as well as their communications and interactions with their students.

We're in the middle of what could be called a "shock" election at the moment, and to be honest it's quite eerie. There aren't any of the normal cars with speakers on the top... yet.

I'm not quite sure why they were so suprised that the diet was going to be dispanded. I thought that I'd read about it some time ago.

I'll watch and wait for the result...
