I’m two years old as a blogger today. It’s my Blogday. My Bloggiversary*. Whatever you want to call it. A Thursday in midwinter.
For me, one of the most tedious type of post is the navel gazing ‘blogging about blogging’ variety. But it is my party and I’ll be narcissistic and self-indulgent if I want to. [...]

The problem with faith is like the problem with doubt
I came to you chasing a dream
My apologies to the arachnophobes out there. I was so caught up in the technical mastery exhibited in yesterday’s spider photo that it didn’t occur to me that some of you might freak out. It should have, really. I worked with the most insect phobic person I’ve ever encountered for a couple of years at [...]
Can you tell me why the apple trees are dying?
If you’ve not read Trouble’s new blog, Smile Now Cry Later, then stop wasting your time here and go over and check it out. Not only is she a fantastic writer, but she’s got a compelling story to tell. The posts thus far have focused on her couple of decades of experience working with gangs. [...]
It’s all been done
It’s starting to feel like Autumn in South Australia – a little bit cooler, shorter days, the occasional drop of moisture in the air – which means that we’ll be doing less of this….
…on Boy Z and Papa Party Days.
But not to worry. We’ve been working on some indoor entertainment. A lot of you may [...]
And so I face the final curtain
I’ve been trying to get a photo of Boy Z’s (we call him Fang now) broken tooth for ages, but it’s hard enough to get the front of him in the viewfinder these days, nevermind his teeth. But I strapped him down yesterday and got the photo that he’ll be talking about in therapy in [...]
Mendel’s Garden #26: A Few of My Favorite Things
I’m quite pleased to host this month’s Mendel’s Garden – a blog carnival featuring the best genetics writing on the internets for the last month. Since it’s my party, I’ve picked out a few of my favorite topics to feature. But in the way of introduction for the neophytes in the crowd, let’s define our [...]

A Free Man
Americana, Australia, Boy Z, Friends, Podcasts, fatherhood, link love
…but these things don’t.
1. Recycling, South Australia style.
2. History podcasts. Two of my favorites are Dan Carlin’s “Hardcore History” and Mike Duncan’s “The History of Rome”. The latter is up and running again after a hiatus that went on far too long. Check out my interview with Duncan from a few months ago and look [...]
Gone fishin’
A Free Man is taking the day off from the internets to do some of that tedious work stuff, but I didn’t want to leave my gentle readers high and dry. Some of you may remember that Chris of Formerly Fun was kind enough to give me the day off last week with her guest [...]
Now, little boy lost, he takes himself so seriously
One of my favorite things about blogging is that I can get inspiration from fellow bloggers. Some days, the creative juices just don’t flow and a read of a great post by someone else can give me the kick start I need to get my own fingers working. Since I saw Florida Girl In Sydney’s [...]
