Graham Price - Website design and consultancy
Welcome
This is my little site. It's not much, but I call it home (on the web, that is). Not much is changing on here these days except photos. And keep your eyes peeled on the blog to see how it's all going.
If you're new to the site, here's what's what: far out is my Sydney blog, blimey is my blog from the last few years in London, strewth is my blog from my working holiday year in Australia (2003), travel tells you about my other holidays, career is my online cv, history is a bit about me, friends is a bit about them, photos is... um... photos, escape is the much-neglected reviews section, and if you can't work out what contact's for, there's no helping you. Enjoy!

Election day: between uninspiring choices
It feels like it's been winter forever, but Thursday was a tasty 23C hint of summer in a week of 11s. But the grass is always greener; in the Northern Hemisphere, it's been too hot to handle; wildfires raged in Russia, 54C in Pakistan was a record-breaking high for Asia, and overall it's been the warmest six months in the warmest year in the warmest decade on record.
Here in Australia, it's the election that's hotting up, but the issue of climate change has been kicked into the long grass. Liberal Opposition leader Tony Abbott famously described anthropogenic climate change as 'crap', but confronted with public concern has managed to scrape together a climate policy which he clearly doesn't believe in. New PM Julia Gillard has proposed some kind of cop-out 'citizens' assembly' to come up with ideas following the shelving of former PM Rudd's scheme for trading carbon credits in the face of parliament earlier this year...

Far Out is my web journal - you can read it on this site or, if you like, sign up for it to be delivered to your inbox, or subscribe to RSS updates (what is RSS?).
So why do I have a website anyway?
Good question. Well it's kinda my job, so it's nice to have a space somewhere to play around and try new stuff; it's also a showcase of sorts, and a place to keep my cv. The rest is just padding to make it a bit more interesting and personal, and a place to put photos that I've taken.
If you move your mouse over the picture in the banner above, you'll get a caption telling you what it is (it's not always obvious!), and you can click on the arrow that will appear to cycle through other photos.
