Collingwood Silos - 2011 Revisit

We rocked up to collingwood, having visited these silos before many months earlier.

Sadly, the first set we visited was in the process of being turned into apartments... As is the nature of the city...

From the inside, we realised that not only had the main structure been torn down from around the still standing silos, but there was no floors anywhere. Instead, there were just hollow silos with windows cut into them.
It was a very strange experience. And I must admit, having visited previously, I was sorry to see such an interesting place with many memories disappear.

Melbourne Surveillance Camera Project

Okay, since recently there has been an increase in the number of cameras around the city, I've decided that, with any spare time I have, I'm going to try and map out the camera's in the city of Melbourne and publish them on-line  just like the NYC Surveillance Camera project (see: http://www.mediaeater.com/cameras/ )

It would be nice to see if its at all possible to move from one side of the city to the other, without being filmed.
Unfortunately, Melbourne is a city, and while it isn't huge, it's not tiny either. So. I'll probably need help to do this.

New Parking Technology

Damn.

Now the parking goons have some more advanced tech up their sleeves, fine-giving-efficiency is up 100%.
General niceness is now down 99%. 1% margin of error.

I was actually under the assumption that ALL parking spaces in the city were already decked out with these. So the 'revelation' that they are only now being rolled out is a bit surprising (you thought the parking goons were efficient before? Just wait!).

Quotes. So many quotes

A collection of quotes i've come across from the following site:

Its currently dead (at time of writing Server 500 Error).

Below are my favourites.

iPod Earphone

This also applies to iPhone, iPad, iTouch and any other iProduct that comes with those fucking awful tiny white earphones.

I - HATE - THEM.

My god. They are awful. Not only is the sound quality TERRIBLE, they attenuate noise like there's no tomorrow.
Every time you can hear some douche bag on the train blasting crappy music, there's almost a 100% chance its got white iBuds involved.

People. Do yourself a favour. Buy a $20 pair of headphones, preferably the in-ear type and blast away.
Your music sounds better. It sounds louder AND It doesn't bother other people.

JUST DO IT.

You spent $500 bucks on an iProduct. Don't be retarded.

Its worth it.
