Mr Trivia’s Music

Hey folks, Enjoy Mr Trivia’s Music in this soul searching new YouTube commercial. As I wrote on Google Buzz at the time (remember that?):”Finally I can grow as an artist.

The Kitchen Wastes

Blast from the Past. Ten Years ago, Western Australia’s own Warped Time Productions made this funny, clever animated short. It’s an alternative take on the hardships of exploring and adventuring into remote and difficult areas.

Barry Bostwick!

Fellow Zeiters, So what’s with the photo of the excellent Barry Bostwick? I’m glad you asked. I am renovating this site in small ways over the next few weeks.

Status Quo

Yo Zeities! Sorry to exclude those of you not part of the burgeoning and yet collapsing world of Facebook. This fading fad is disappearing like lemon-juice ink drying on notepaper, but paradoxically it continues to suck in all you know and love.
