Begun in 2008, it's unlikely that I'll regularly make entries to this blog, so do check my main site at www.fourhares.com This blog is more likely to include posts of a political nature - and one that requires sisu on the part of many! Archives dated prior to March 2008 are entries moved across from either LiveJournal or Octant.

I first came across the series from full-page advertisements placed in the magazine Nexus mentioning (within the advert) that sales have reached over 10 million without advertising, and must admit that such advertising oxymoron did not predispose me to a favourable view of the publisher’s honesty: either they do not advertise and indeed sales [...]
What can I say!?
It only reflects how strange US society has become, and how its pre-eminence in the world of online downloads leads to quite weird decisions. Cf Need Marijuana? Your iPhone Can Help.
It’s OK to have a listing of where to obtain marihuana even in locations where it is not legal, but an application [...]
Quite a mouthful, that heading… and considering I also wanted to include something on synæsthesia, I’ve rather narrowed somewhat my ‘focus’!
Swine flu pandemic
Let’s begin with the last of these first: the flu ‘pandemic’ and the reaction to it by officialdom.
I accept that when the first outbreak of this new influenza virus began to make its [...]
As you may be aware, next week is when Australian schools are under obligation to provide standardised tests to students in classes (or years) 3, 5, 7 and 9 who have not been withdrawn from participation by their parents (or by their school in very special circumstances in which this is permitted).
For those who may [...]
Cars…. and more cars
Actually, I’m not much of a car-kind-of-bloke, but I do enjoy seeing and driving beautifully designed cars… and since the 70s, I’ve driven some pretty nice models. One that comes to mind is the Citroën SM. Of my personal favourites in terms of design are not necessarily those that have been [...]
Every so often, I peruse Robert Mealing‘s site. And each time, there are new wonderful additions to the gallery.
Here is someone who has a keen eye for balanced detail… his photography (and his thoughts – but that’s another story) well worth perusing.
As an example, have a look at this incredibly sensitive and ever so evocatively [...]
… I’ve only made some rather quick changes to this blog.
What I’m very pleased about, however, are the updates (and moving over 70 pages) to the Newsletters of the Association for Tarot Studies (now at their own subdomain: Newsletter.TarotStudies.org, and the registration of steiner.edu.au (though I do need to do a fair amount of additional [...]
When will the new government pick up the pieces left by the previous one with regards to leaving an innocent victim of a regime that has… let’s be sensitive in this description… ‘different’ values to our own and imprisons someone without a fair trial!?
It’s about time that perhaps Australia looks at Israel in terms of [...]
A number of years ago, I wrote a brief reflection which I titled ‘On the lie of suicide bombings: how to maximise support by presenting murder as suicide’ (this was prior to the establishment of this blog, but basically the equivalent, ‘published’ as ‘octant‘).
If I can reflect a little on the worldwide current situation, there [...]
…and we all thought that mainland China was over the top!
Now it seems that our still new-ish Federal Government is intent on stepping up its invasive prohibitions. This is certainly another (and unexpected) example of the kind of stuff my previous post mentioned, without only a few days ago aware that this was on the [...]
