    My 2018 TV appearance on an Australian Quiz show

    Good one Leon! When was/is the broadcast time. They really foxed on washing machine questions. They really weren't about washing machines but fun none the less.

    Feel like Alice in Wonderland-down the rabbit hole

    Here in Melbourne Australia it is a long weekend so I decided to dip my toe in the Wifi digital musical pond. Little did I know how disorienting it would be. I went to JB Hifi and had a choice between entry level LG, Sonos and Bose. I chose a Bose Touch10 speaker because they were the best...

    New 1968 White Westinghouse mobile DW

    1968 doesnt look or sound right "Energy saving" as a feature I associate with post the 1973 first "oil shock". It was a watershed moment in that the social progressives hijacked environmental issues to surreptitiously pursue a radical socialist agenda.

    An odd email has popped up. It is from a work acquaintance who has not previously emailed me and is of an age where he might not automatically be at the cutting edge of the digital frontier. It says he wants to share some files on Google drive. Sounds OK so far but when I went to log in it...
