Tumbling around the web in a big mess. Picking up and dropping off bits and pieces with no clear goal, just spending a bit of time looking at stuff I like.
What do I like? Visual stuff mostly, photos and videos, a bit of music and interesting thoughts. When I say interesting, I mean interesting to me. You might be extremely bored by the whole thing, but I don't really care, because this isn't for you. It's for me.

Tripykon released the EP Shatter in 2010. And I’ve been listening to it ever since.

A woman as PM? Enough to make a volcano explode
In mid 2010, Julia Gillard challenged Kevin Rudd for the leadership of the ALP and won. This made her first female prime minister of Australia. Regardless of what you think of the politics, I think it’s shameful it took to 2010 before we had a female leader. The vitriol she has to put up with makes it even more shameful. Her speech in parliament labeling Tony Abbott a misogynist only says a tiny part of what women in the public eye have to battle.
Around the same time as Julia was becoming PM in Australia, the Icelandic volcano Eyjafjallajoekull was erupting and disrupting air travel all over the northern hemisphere.
2010 was the year the world’s mainstream media noticed WikiLeaks exist when they published footage of a USA airstrike on Baghdad.
The environment is still angry with us and it showed it in 2010 with an earthquake in Haiti that devastated the country and floods in Queensland that were nothing much when compared to Haiti.
New house, same job, same boyfriend
Not a lot terribly exciting happened to me in 2010. We moved to a new rental, which would turn out to not be a great move, but the house we had before was being sold, so we didn’t have much say. I continued to work in the same job, live with the same man and do the same old, same old.
