Bald Rock

Image
Bald Rock National Park is a continuation of Giraween National Park but on the NSW side of the border with Qld. It's a rather spectacular climb. More interesting than but not quite as steep as the climb up "the Pyramids" at Giraween.

Giraween National Park

Giraween National Park is about 3 hours drive South West from Brisbane, close to the wine and stone-fruit producing town of Stanthorp. Granite boulders make this a fascinating place. Strange that most of the people around were International tourists. With only a week before Christmas I thought the camping grounds and motels would be all full.

Celebrating hard work

  Pauline Tang and Mirawati Hitati celebrate doing a damn good job in my Advanced Marketing Modelling course this last semester. These guys, and the whole class, really made me proud with their hard work and real productivity.

Receiving quotes for our Paris conference trip. Feeling very excited. Hopefully we can use my research support funds to pay for Ellen's conference travel and registration.
Brilliant! I've just added this to my teaching site for Interactive Marketing. I'd love to be able to do this for other sites. I'll keep an eye out...

Now this blolg, Number 43 on the top 50, is more fun to read, but like so many other liberals, and I guess I have to include myself from time to time, the focus seems to be on minute quotidian issues rather than the bigger picture. AMERICAblog: Because a great nation deserves the truth
One of the top 50 blogs on the Net, New York Magazine calls #42 Little Green Footballs A rabidly conservative war blog. The source of so much Net controversy that it spawned a watchdog, LGF.blogspot.com. lgf: you know you're over the target when you start receiving flak Kind of scary that these mad right-wingers occasionally make some sense...
