Informaniac Media Dragon is on the hunt, unmasking and honouring bloggers who are serving, for better or for worse, the virtual Antipodean world. The blogscroll was stolen in the middle of the day from the local Parish.
My bohemian licence really just wanted to create something speculation-provoking and perhaps useful and fun.

Presenting Antipodean Bloggers: The Truth Laid Bear (#4 Aug 2003 AD)

What kinds of personae do we make? What relation do these have to what we have traditionally thought of as the 'whole' person? Are they experienced as an expanded self or as separate from the self? Do our real-life selves learn lessons from our virtual personae? Are these virtual personae fragments of a coherent real-life personality?

media & the net: Paging Rich Baillie Drivel Warehouse Stable

Keep out of reach of children as this blogger uses the vocabulary out of the Devil's dictionary. Right-wing opinions and sense of humour pepper this blog.
Description: drivel warehoused to retain the freshness and keep out the lawyers.
· Rich Baillie [Drivel Warehouse stable]

Extensive reading tells us that Curtin's sociologist and humourist Rich Baillie, is part of the Perth (Western Australia) Student Bloggers Army. His closest Curtin's mate is journo in making gareth parker. In addition to UWA-ite MATHEW BATES and Notre Dame's Robert Corr, there is Yobbo Sam Ward

Seems to link a lot to Wickstein, Scott. Rich is also close to bitchin' monaro and the supermercado project. Rich also links to After Grog Blogger [Antipodean Bloggers #1 Aug 2003]

The Essence of this blog:
Musings on alcohol, nightlife, incomprehensible sport, law, politics, society and life in general from a engineer of cross-disciplinary links
The Student Perpective on life:
STALKING IS NOT COOL. UNLESS THE PERSON IS A CELEBRITY, OR THEY ASKED YOU TO STALK THEM. DON'T DO DRUGS, UNLESS THEY'RE CHEAP.
My nomination for being the next Pope goes through next week, and I expect to be elected, although I'm concerned the Ham Sandwich might beat me with a wet sock filled with rubber bands:

The Funny:
List of five
Dictionary
French
Idiosyncrasies:
John Quiggin has classified this blog as being cultural or satirical. The Drivel Warehouse often gets in debates with Jack Robertson, but as anyone who has ever seen Fawlty Towers could have told them, this is not the way to calm him down. Having actually emailed Jack myself, I find him quite decent to talk to, but the Drivel Warehouse guys seem to rub him up the wrong way.(BloggerObserver)
Character Strengths:
Found a new gym. It's pretty good, with a quality weights selection, a pool and it's stupidly cheap. It's also only about a 15 minute drive from here, so that's all good. I'm looking forward to going back to the gym, I like wearing tight shorts.
Weaknesses:
Bailz is cooler than god!
Challenges:
Finished the new layout for UberSportingPundit. It's nothing fancy, it's simple and readable.
Opportunities:
If you could play any instrument, what would it be?
Bongo Drums...
If you could meet any musical icon (past or present), who would it be and why?
Elvis -- I want to leech as much style from the man as possible; and tell him that in the future his daughter will marry both Michael Jackson and Nic Cage, while his wife will continue to be a saucy piece. I think those pieces of information will inspire him to hit the gym more often, and lay off the prescription drugs.

Doing:
Speeding
Curtin University really deals with the big issues on campus, such as the lack of parking for students during the day, the lack of decent lacture (sic) theatres (that can actually accomodate (sic) people above 6' in height), and the various security issues that a campus that large has to deal with. HA!
No, instead of worrying about those things, they've purchased a speed camera

Bias:
Partial to Nerve; political swinger on right side of the political pavement
Temper:
Lots of bitter and sarcastic, yet amusing, ranting from a guy who's barely 21 and yet has never gotten the credit he deserves.
