 Sounds bad doesn't it! I was trying to make Brad snodgy by typing "Brad sucks" into Google and the first site that came up was Brad Sucks. I checked it out (of course!) and it's a "techno pop" band called Brad Sucks who have released a free album called "I don't know what I'm doing". I've downloaded one of their songs called "Making me nervous" and it's kinda good. Check it out!

 The story below about the stuff people search for in Google that brings them to Tasweb generated a bit of a response. It seems you guys are interested in that stuff, so to continue with this months theme of stuff about search engines I have written my first ever Joomla module. A module is a "thing" that plugs into the web page you are looking at now. The menu on the left is a module and so is the random photo thingy on the right. My first module is on the right and will display the five most recent keywords entered into any search engine (eg Google, MSN, Yahoo etc) that bought someone to Tasweb. It updates automagically so if you came here via Google you should see the text that you enetered into Google in the module. Leave a message for me in the Guestbook if you think it's cool!

 I've been looking in the web servers logs again and thought you might like to see some of the weird stuff that people have entered into Google before clicking a link to this web site. My favorites have to be "rage against the donkeys", "Emma Rainbow", "long drop toilets" and "stuck in a lift", but this is my absolute favorite, "Blinky, Pinky, Inkey, and Clyde who's who?" ! Click the "Read More..." link below to see the full list for this year.

Monday night I "borrowed" Emma and Brad and we went to watch the Australian Boomers basketball team play the New Zealand Tall Blacks at the Derwent Entertainment Centre. What an awsome night it was. That to has be one of the best sporting events I've ever been to in Hobart (as long as you forget about the lame guy in the kangaroo suit). The Boomers won in a cliff hanger by one point after trailing by twenty points at quarter time. I was sitting on the Internet the day tickets went on sale so we had amazing seats right in the front row. Actually if you look rooly cloose at the photo on the back page of todays Mercury you can see me just to the left of Andrew Bogut's right arm with the bald head and the dark jumper! Stuart and Lisa came down from Launceston for the night but unfortunately they were way up in the nose bleed seats. Despite being a sell out there were two seats that no one sat in behind us so at half time they came down and sat with us! After the game the players stayed around to sign autographs which was very unexpected and at one stage Andrew Gaze just wandered past Stuart and I and said G'day!

 Brad has been pretty crook with the flu this weekend, but somehow he seems to have scored pretty well. We went up to the Salamanca Market this morning. Emma bought some of that fruit leather stuff and Brad had some strawberries. We were meeting up with Mel but she was running late so we went into Kathmandu for a look. Big mistake! They had a huge sale and Dad ended up spending heaps (Mel's fault). After coffee and hot chocolate we went into town and bought more clothes. Brad was pretty out of it so we headed home but stopped at Redbill (surf shop) in Kingston for a look. Somehow we walked out with a new skateboard for Brad! You should see the look on his face! Happy,Happy! It's a pretty awsome custom built job with Hardcore wheels, ABEC 7 bearings, GM trucks and a cool deck with Globe stickers!

 [Update from Phill] Brad lost the final by only five points. Damn! Oh well, we have tickets to see the Australian Boomers play the New Zealand Tall Backs (lame name!) on Monday. Hopefully we will get a better result then!
Brads basketball team "The Heat" won their semi final tonight 15 points to 8. That means they play in the preliminary final next week at the Kingborough Sports Centre. Go The Heat! There are also some new videos in the "Our Pictures" section.

 Anyone who ever visited our old house should check out the web site of the people who bought it from us. They are making massive changes inside and out and have posted a few photo's. Aside from that it's interesting to see what a Canadian family thinks of Tasmania.

I've been a bit busy latley (Hi Mel!) so the updates have been few and far between. Sorry! The June school holidays are over for another year. Emma and Brad squeezed as much cool stuff as possable into their week with Dad. Ten pin bowling with Mel, Calypso and Tamsyn was great fun. Rock climbing at "The Climbing Edge" was cool. Emma did really well and Brad made it to the top of five different two story walls, but the highlite was our trip to Melbourne. Brett got us into the Grand Chancellor which was great as they had an open rooftop pool that had insanley hot water. Only Tasmanians would be silly enough to use it, but it was awsome to be outside in the freezing cold and yet be so warm. We had to swap our room for another one with three single beds as no one wanted to share a double! I probably should mention that I lost Brad after only ten minutes in Melbourne. After checking in at the motel we went up in the lift, but when the lift doors closed behind us Brad wasn't there. The dodgy wheel on his bag had malfunctioned and he was stuck in the lift. He cruised around a few floors before returning to us a few minutes later wondering why I looked so worried! We saw St Kilda get thrashed by Adelaide at the Telstra Dome. Emma belted her flag on the railing in frustration and the wooden knob flew off the end and cracked some guy below in the head. We took a tram to the train station, then a train to the bus stop, then a bus to the DFO factory outlet at Cheltenham. There were some awsome bargains and even I had fun buying stuff although I'll probably regret it when the credit card bill comes in. The best bit had to be Circus Oz. We had ring side seats so at times we were a part of the show. Check out the photo's in the "Our Pictures" section of the main menu.
