This is another post about what I think about Facebook. Previously: this post of general thoughts. I noticed that my intended use of the Friends List had changed this year. Now, on the surface, the List is exactly as it says it is; a list of friends made on Facebook. But you may or may [...]

I do and don’t like Facebook.
So, today I have completed the marketing exam. My mind is still quite focused on concepts (and my performance in the exam), so in the little ‘power-down’ period I have, I thought I might write a few thoughts on a service we all use so much that it is now ubiquitous: Facebook. Facebook now has [...]

Week 1 of 90+
13 years of Primary and Secondary education is hardly worth blogging about, but the first week of university after 13 years of the same thing is undoubtedly interesting by any scale.

Location Social Networks
Recently there’s been lots of commentary and criticism about location social networks and services such as Google Latitude, Foursquare and Loopt. A website called Please Rob Me set up this week has aggregated users’ tweets from Foursquare and reported these users as not being at home. The point they are getting across is that when [...]

2009 to 2010
What’s interesting is that at the start of every year, we say that the year ahead will be the best one has ever seen. It begins to wear off about 20 years after (you don’t see older people make such a claim do you?) but for now the statement still holds. 2009 has been a [...]

An Illusionary Speech Night
Apologies for the lack of posts recently. Last night was Barker’s speech night, and my last speech night. Speech night has become known for the exhaustive prize list, Year 12 antics during the prize giving, and of course the Headmaster’s (herein referred to as K) speech. What we have come to love about K’s speech [...]

Two More Pieces of Advice
After writing the last post, I remembered that I had two more things to say. 1. Everyone is saying, “Make sure you thank your teachers for all the hard work they have done for you.” Well, the best way to thank them is to gain the best possible result in the HSC exams. They’ll be [...]

Last Day in Retrospect
This thought has been niggling me for the past day, and I wanted to get this off my chest. So yesterday was the last day of school. The day began with a meet at Wahroonga Park, then a train ride to Waitara and finally a scooter ride from the station to school. First off, I’d [...]

Last Day
Tomorrow is my last day of high school. Being at Barker for 10 years (since the beginning) is no mean feat. There have been so many fantastic experiences over the years. There have been so many friendships made, changed, and broken. There were the good times, and the bad times. And we’ve all been through [...]
