This post is just for Google really: introducing Shaun van Oorde-Grainger’s spanking new website, Delusions of Grainger. Get it? He’s not just a pretty face.

Looking for hotels tonight on Radisson Hotels website and I quite literally got stuck. Trying to select a date range, the pop up date picker conveniently hides behind the big flashy Flash banner like some shy child cowering behind a parent’s leg.

Manually entering dates is also frustrating as some part of the Javascript intermittently clears […]

Kurt Vonnegut is off to the big Breakfast of Champions in the sky.

With only a few days before the World Cup kick off, and less than a week before Australia plays Japan, last night we went shirt hunting. We have a slim chance of getting tickets for the Australia Croatia game, but chances are we’re going to be sitting in central Stuttgart with thousands of other not-so-lucky […]

Looking at the most viewed photos in my Flickr account, I discovered something disturbing — the top photo is one I took on the Mekong in Laos entitled “What’s a boat trip down the Mekong without some naked kids?”.

I was very slack updating this site along the way; Angela was handling the journal writing more than […]

Well so far Ho Chi Minh City is nothing like what I had expected. All the guidebooks and websites make you think it’s a pickpocket’s paradise where you are having everything snatched off your face by scooter-riding thieves and you’re being ripped off left right and centre. The traffic is pretty heavy and its quite […]

Our family friends, Diana and Phillip have been incredibly generous in ensuring we sample as much of the local cuisine as possible. Curries, noodles, roti, satay, durians, mangos, snake fruit, dried ginger… oh my. But the food here has been incredible. Anyway, I’m […]

In 37 days Angela and I leave for the motherland - warm beer, cold weather and probably more reminders of the recent Ashes series than I’d care for. Hopefully they’ll even let me build some websites over there (that’s the plan, anyway). Before we arrive in London in February, we’ll be jaunting around South East […]
