Mason and I pose for the camera while free-falling from 14.000ft at 220km/hr — Off the coast in the far horizon you can see the Blue Mountain. It was beautiful up there. — I’ve decided to skydive with my mate, Mason, to celebrate the passing of a dear friend. — Here’s to Zach, my dearest mate and my better-half. You will be missed, m’dear.

Bottoms Up Beer Dispenser

This is how we, Aussie, loves Beer so much more than Americans do ;-)

Founded by Josh Springer, a former manager at a company that creates neon signs like those used in Las Vegas, the invention relies on magnetic technology embedded in plastic cups.

Each plastic cup has a hole in the bottom which is wide enough for a nozzle to be inserted. The key to keeping the hole sealed when beer is put in through the bottom is via a circle magnet that when pushed up by the nozzle lifts up so beer can be put in. When the beer is full, the machine automatically cuts off and all a bartender needs to do is just pull the beer off of the nozzle and the magnetic circle is then drawn back down to the cup by a tin magnetic ring embedded in the cup.

It definitely saves time queuing that long line when partying! Read more of this wicked invention here. 

This pix reminds me of a conversation years ago when a friend of mine, who visited Australia for the first time, asked me, “So which one should I choose for my last few days in Oz, Canberra or Surfers Paradise?”  To which I replied: “Why, Surfers Paradise, of course!” He asked, “Really, is it that good down there?” — “No, but Canberra is that bad!” - -cityoflove: Surfers Paradise, Queensland, Australia

Postcards from friends - part 1 of …

Over the years, I’ve collected assortments of postcards sent by my dear friends from all over, some of them sent from places I have yet visit. Some of the postcards dated back more than a decade, but I’m sure had I dig more, I’d be able to find some even older than that… how time flies indeed!

These post are my way to say thank you to all of you who spent the time writing a short note to me. ^_^
