In a stunning night of bowling, my partner Ronnie, just missed out on another 300 striking all the way to the final frame where he bowled a 9 leaving him with a 299!!! I bowled a 229 to give us the best in the league scratch 3 game record.

In the third game, of our 3 game series, Ronnie (that's him in the third picture) bowled a perfect game. What is even more amazing is that the previous game he had already bowled 8 strikes in a row. That means by the end of this game he had bowled 20 strikes in a row!!!!

Pictures after the break....

Leigh Redhead, my daughter, has just had her fourth novel in the Simone Kirsch series released and I've just picked up a copy at the local bookstore.  

Yes, it's hard to believe, my own daughter didn't send me a freeby, instead I have to buy my own! It also looks like they have re-released the three earlier books in the series "Peepshow", "Rubdown" and "Cherry Pie"

At CeBit Sydney I had the opportunity to view one of my recent 360º panoramas on A1-DES's 70" LCD Electronic Touch Panel Tablet Monitor.

This incredible device allows multi-touch manipulation directly on the screen so you can pinch and zoom, rotate, draw on it and surf the internet.

Once I'd loaded the page I selected the fullscreen option and the panorama filled this huge screen, then with a gentle swipe of a finger on the screen I could pan around the panorama much to the delight of the A1-DES people and those visiting the booth.

Without wanting to monopolise the booth too much I managed to get a couple of pictures. I'm planning a followup visit to their offices to try some more samples and hopefully shoot a video of the panoramas in action.

Morgan’s Lookout
Morgan’s lookout is a white granite outcrop; due to its elevation, this local geological feature was used by the bushranger Dan "Mad Dog" Morgan as a lookout for police parties. Local folklore tells of Morgan hiding his horses in deep crevices within the rocks when the police came nearby.
