Filed Under Other | Leave a Comment
Seb the crazy Serb, seen here in action for the Over 35 Salisbury Scorpions takes a magnificent mark, grabbing the ball from the air, thwarting a potentially season ending raid from the visiting Irish Rangers..
Playing one short the entire match, the Scorpions hung on for a well earned 1-1 draw, thanks to the acrobatic brilliance of the Seb crazy Serb..

usa 2008 - day 4
Filed Under Other | 2 Comments
Today the AUC grantees, took a trip the San Francisco area, with first stop Fry’s Electronics… One of the largest electrical retailers around… I will have to be honest, while the selection was absolutely massive, the prices weren’t that great…
After we finished at Fry’s, we headed out to the “another age must be the judge”… The first complete Babbage Engine was completed in London in 2002, 153 years after it was designed. The Difference Engine No. 2, built faithfully to the original drawings, consists of 8,000 parts, weighs five tons, and measures 11 feet long.
From the Computer Museum the pass drove past Google on the way to the Apple company store in Cupertino, CA… This is the only place you can by Apple branded clothes, books, pens etc etc.. Apple HQ are located on 1 Infinite Loop, so here I am standing beside front entrance…
After a long day on the road, a sad sack of geeks piled of the bus, and on the forecourse at the Moscone West Centre to register for this years WWDC conference… The mothership as it is sometime known… Anyways i’m off to bed early, cause its an early start tomorrow, like 5:00am early to line up for the Steve Jobs keynote speech… damn thats way too early… peace out..

Its day 3 and I got my jollies on a trolly in San Francisco… I mean I took the Market & Powell Trolley to Fisherman’s Wharf for a look around.. On the way, we passed Lombard Street, the worlds most crooked & twisted street.. I took the above photo at the shelter on the corner of Market & Powell…
Feeling somewhat energetic, I hired a mountain bike from Blazing Saddles, Pier 39 Fishermans Wharf, and cycled 14miles across the Golden Gate Bridge and onto Sausalito, CA.. Being in great physical shape (not) this was a comfortable ride (not).. From Sausalito I caught the ferry, because I could, back to Fishermans Wharf, for the return journey…
After a day of extreme physical labour, I headed to Old Navy to take advantage of the 40% off Fathers Day sales, and got some good deals, Jeans for $17.00.. This was followed any absolute mad mad cab ride, something akin to the blues brothers car chase, as we headed to the “Tonga Room” at the Fairmont Hotel, for a night of Hula dancing, and cocktails… The night ended with a 3mile walk back to the Marriott and to bed around 2:00am…
