As they say in the classics "I'm too old for this shit".
That said, I live in sunny Brisbane (Australia), forging a career in advertising / marketing whilst enjoying life as it comes.
I take photos on my iPhone, listen to (a lot of) music on my iPhone, and like Star Wars. So yes, I'm a geek.
That's about it.
Party on!

Anything I’ve missed?
Go Go Gotye!
Weekly US charts just released - Gotye (@Gotye) has a top 5 single with ‘Somebody That I Used To Know’ (feat Kimbra)! Album moves up to #16. Can the single make #1?
And the album would have charted higher if the stupid 25 cent digital album deals didn’t happen during the week. It makes me so happy to see a true artist (and lovely human being) gaining recognition globally. Hopefully these people will delve back to his previous albums and see that Wally isn’t an overnight sensation. He’s been sensational for years!
Lovers of Kate Miller-Heidke rejoice - the new album “Nightflight” is scheduled for a 13 April release! Pre-orders already available on iTunes: http://itunes.apple.com/au/preorder/nightflight/id509016142

GOTYE - ‘EASY WAY OUT’ VIDEO
The ‘Easy Way Out’ video was made in Melbourne by animator/director Darcy Prendergast and the Oh Yeah Wow crew. A true labour of love, the video took nine months to finish. The set was a five room house built from scratch and took up Oh Yeah Wow’s studio space for almost nine months. We’re extremely pleased with the results!
From Wally: “The guys from Oh Yeah Wow made this grouse new film clip for ‘Easy Way Out’ with me(s). Hope y’all enjoy!”

“Nyan Cat” Variations - composed by Craig Davis Pinson (Boston Conservatory)
Recorded February 9, 2012 at Seully Hall in The Boston Conservatory as part of Composer Recital Series 12
Original Theme (Nyanyanyanyanyanyanya!) by daniwellP
Theme used for non-commercial purposes as per daniwell-P’s request.
Performed by the Juventas New Music Ensemble:
Lidiya Yankovskaya, Conductor
Zach Jay, Flute
Marguerite Levin, Clarinet
Julia Scott Carey, Piano
Yohanan Chendler, Violin
Drew Ricciardi, Viola
Rachel Arnold, Cello
Experimental classical variations to discover how far the Nyan Cat melody could be transformed before losing its identity.
From the composer: “On a large scale, the work is structured along a simple alternation pattern. The theme and its variations alternate, similarly to rondo form. However, the theme is progressively dissolved, meaning that each time it returns it contains less percentage of the source material.
This chipping-away continues until there’s nothing recognisable left.
In the variation episodes, more tools are employed to change the essence of the theme, especially, pronounced changes of duration, texture, harmonic character, and of the intervallic makeup of the melody.
Each of the variations has its own defined character, and they contrast sharply with one another in mood and technique.
Despite of the contrast of its sections, the piece exploits a long-scale narrative arc, playing on the contrast between the theme’s duration - which remains essentially consistent at each iteration - and the durations of the variation episodes, which seem to grow out of control as their proportions become subverted.

Tonight I’m Frakking You
I think my favourite bit (apart from Kunal Nayyar’s brilliant rap) is Richard Hatch’s cameo.
Damn, this is all my geek dreams come true! Wonder Woman, Spock, Darth Vader, Spiderman, Pacman (or his wife, I’m not too sure about that one) … and heaps more!
Sing along!
I’m like Kenobi
Seeking passage to Alderaan with you
We’ll watch Big Bang Theory
As you ride my TARDIS and call me Doctor Who
You’re into Cosplay (oooh)
Damn that’s one fine skin job on you.
Beam Me Up Hottie (oooo oooh)
My Vulcan Logic tells me its time to groove
Across the federation
My Jedi inclination
Tells me that I am a suitable mate for you
We Love Next Generation
Xbox over Playstation
Its time that I tap from your Mana Pool
Cause tonight I’m Frakking You
Whoa you know
That tonight I’m Frakking You
Whoa you know
Are You Gwen Stacey
My Spidey sense says I’d shoot my web all on you
I’m No Fergengi
I drop more coin than Mario on mushrooms
Your Dharma education
Delorean transporation
Revs my engine to warp speed like Mr. Sulu
Dollhouse’s cancellation
Hurt like Luke’s amputation
Its time to Mork Me and say Nanoo Nanoo
Cause tonight I’m Frakking You
Whoa you know
That tonight I’m Frakking You
Whoa you know
Ha! Kunal…
Let’s Meet Up In Naboo
We’ll roll around like R2-D2
You’ve set my phasers to stun
Cause your Sarlaac Pit’s
Got more spice in it
Than the planet Dune
From Asgard’s
Hallowed halls
Everybody big bangs Kunal
Gotham or Hogwarts
My Broad Sword’ll Be the one
Thing To Rule them all
Lets clone your body
Join them all together to form a Guild
and go on a Quest
We can use my expansion pack
Then I’ll take you down like Boba Fett
Up Up, Down Down
Left, Right, Left Right
B, A, Select then Start
Its time to one-up
Thirty lives with you, (cuz tonight I’m)
Cuz tonight I’m Frakking You
Whoa you know
That tonight I’m Frakking You
Whoa you know
That tonight I’m Frakking You
