Richard Dawkins (Author of THE GOD DELUSION) – [Brisbane] March 4th. Only $15/students $18/adults. {=}

Dawkins is giving a talk in Brisbane on March 4th.Only $15/students $18/adults. Tickets @ QTIX

“Join Britain’s greatest science writer as he comprehensively rebuts the creationists by pulling together the incontrovertible evidence for evolution.”

I’m going to this and I’d strongly suggest it to those open to discussion around religion and who are able to lay down their defensive guns and consider scientific evidence.

Dawkins is interviewed by a guy obviously intent on defending religious belief. See the video below:

Maserati – Synchronicity IV [new favourite song] {=}

This is my new obsession at the moment. MASERATI from Athens, GEORGIA.
I love it when bands really have that strong driving rhythm accompanied by palm muted delay guitar.

Particularly liking ‘Synchronicity IV’
Makes me think about Pink Floyd, Fleetwood Mac, Death Cab For Cutie, Smashing Pumpkins (Machina era) and even has some cool jungle drums at the end.

Anyway, here’s a link to a live video of them playing it. You could watch it too if you’d like if that’s what you’re into.

Enjoying a quiet night with a smooth beverage, dim lighting and music at my ears.

New song! “Wintersun (Morningtime)” Available on Last.FM {=}

More of an aubade than a ‘song’.

Recently featured on Ruwan De Silva’s promotional video for Je Ne Sais Quoi.

You can listen for free and download from Last.FM. http://www.last.fm/music/Arundel

Leaving Crescent Head (2005) [writ][ings] {=}

Morning’s breath casts a sheet of blurred vision across the fields.
She whispers; “welcome to the day i have prepared for you”.

I climb to the top of the highest tree
I peer across the ocean of cloud, and in my dreary state,
silhouettes of home and echoes of the week just passed.

Like a thought passing from mind to mouth; the haze of approaching headlights whiz by.
Too quickly for me to grasp.
I realise now that i am well-slept and well-prepared for what lies ahead of me on this newborn day.

Word of the Day for Wednesday, January 6, 2010 {=}

atelier \at-l-YAY\, noun:

A workshop; a studio.

we are the youth {=}

found this cool website where a great deal of young people from around the world comment on various current affairs/debates.

DEBATEWISE.ORG

An interesting one on the new movie ‘Avatar’ + the lack of hollywood actors in these CGI films.

“There have been numerous films this year that have made large amounts of money but have not had big stars attached. Avatar in particular shows that there are other ways of engaging audiences rather than paying immense pay checks to a few faces that everyone recognises. Avatar does it with its 3D graphics.”
