LED Display Shelf
Mr 5 loves lights! And I mean loves them. He has numerous night lights, grow clocks, torches, lanterns and garden lights around the house. Every trip to Bunnings involves a stroll through the lights section. A few months ago I thought it would be a good idea (my wife didn’t think such a good idea)...
Online Protection for your Family
Last week at our son’s school there was a Cyber Safety presentation for parents. My wife attended to see what information was being talked about. She came home with a page of notes and a few interesting points raised on the night. I’ve been online for over 20 years. I’ve seen the internet evolve from...

Where Does All The Time Go?
One of the hardest things I’ve had to deal with since becoming a father is the severe lack of time. I’m a morning person, so have no problem with waking at 6am every day of the year. So is my son, and that’s where the problem begins. It’s a rare morning where I can get...
