Our First Australia Day
Yesterday was our first time celebrating Australia Day here in Perth. We managed to get a half decent video of the fireworks show, which happened to occur in the middle of some pretty impressive lightning. It was just far enough away not to get too nervous about the lightning! We went swimming at a friend’s … Read more
2011 – A year end review
I received a beautiful Christmas letter from some Lab City friends recently and it inspired me to get my act together and work on this blog post.

A Preview
Our recent excitement about being connected was quickly dashed after our internet went down after just a few days of operation. Turns out there was a problem with the line, but all should be resolved going forward. I (Tim) have got lots to update you on now that we’re back online, including my latest thoughts … Read more
