Happen Inc is a non-profit organisation in Cincinatti. It was set up to help build family and community bonds, through creative play and experiences.
This psycho treat on the left is from the Toy Zoo. The toy recycling programme collects old and broken toys and bits, and kids and families can visit the lab [...]

I was sure I had blogged this, but I can’t find it so I’m posting it, and apologies if you have seen it before.
If you’ve ever laid out a page, either for web or print or whatever, and wanted to see how it looked but didn’t have any copy for the page (that means all [...]

For Good Friday, I offer the Stations of the Cross. This particular set is from Lodwar Cathederal in Kenya, and was created to reflect the life and environment of the Turkana people in Kenya.
The reaction of our Christians was excellent when we unveiled the stations. The suffering Christ is central to their sprituality and prayer. [...]

A vulture boards an airplane, carrying two dead raccoons. The stewardess looks at him and says, “I’m sorry, sir, only one carrion allowed per passenger.”
Two fish swim into a concrete wall. The one turns to the other and says, “Dam”!
Two hydrogen atoms meet. One says “I’ve lost my electron.” The other says “Are you [...]

Pollarity IX is over, eight people like music or background noise when they are concentrating, and three people prefer to work in silence. That’s the best voter turnout since the vegemite question.
Next poll : Novelty ties. You know, instead of patterns or plain colours, you have some cartoon character or other popular icon [...]

On Friday Mon surprised me with tickets to the Wizard Cup final, to see the mighty Blues take the pre-season premiership. Just three years ago we won like two games in the whole season and got our first wooden spoon, much to the delight of Collingwood supporters in particular, but pretty much everyone really. [...]
