more strange speed cameras and point to point fines
Ok So as you drive over the harbour bridge northbound, keep an eye out for these... They look like speed traps, but the RTA deny they are... so wtf are they then?
Discount books
An interesting find on ebay is that you can buy scientology and dianetics books at lower-than-church-extortion-prices.
Open up ebay and type dianetics and you'll find a a whole bunch of selfless self help and brainwashing courses for even cheaper than the cult, sorry church, sell them for.
If your that desperate for attention you can even buy a signed by the big man himself copy of the auditors handbook for a mere US$15k.
If your super keen you can even buy a not-so-sacred e meter and measure your own mental issues with a hottted-up- multimeter circuit. The device is also able to measure whether or not fruits can experience pain and are considered sacred ... but you can buy them on eeee-bay.
But for the super-mad ebaying scientoologist, you can have, for a mere, mere, US$3,500,000, the worlds largest private 28,ooo item super library of this guy.
happy bidding

Another world away in prestons
If you ever wanted to see the grand bazzar, or sift through the diverse cultral markets of China, Hong Kong or India, then save your self a few quid and visit this place:
Prestons grand bazaar at http://www.trashandtreasure.com.au/markets_sydney.html is open weekends and hosts and interesting and nostalgic array of used , new, fresh, stale and even soiled stock, at very negotiable prices...
Upon entering you feel blessed already as you drive past the golden domes of the admin building.
Once you reach the parched white sands of the desert, sorry i mean carpark, you immediately feel like you're on vacation in the middle east. The mirage-like appearance of parking in the shade, only to find the shade has moved by the time you reach it , adds to the grand illusion.
Entry apparently costs $1.80 ea to get in, but we just walked straight in.
Amongst the car-boot like stalls of the vendors you will find most household items, vcrs, dvd players, live chickens, toiletries and perfumes. Many vendors also specialise in unique handicrafts and jewellery items, like glo-sticks and fart bombs.
Haggling is that much en grained in the culture for the bazaar, that you rarely see a price tag, or even packaging. Some items are even missing cords, cables ect as the retailer was in such haste to get the freshly acquired "stock" onto his rental table.
But the epicentre of the market is surely the grand food outlet.. what appears to be 12 or so ethnic based food outlets, Mexican, American, Spanish, gozleme ect. One cant help but notice the all have the same kitchen and seem to sell bacon and egg rolls, hot chips and battered savs.
Another thing i couldn't help but notice was that the market had more vans than a dutch naming convention. Every vendor had a goods vehicle parked somewhere in their stall.
If the vendors added a few more vans in their stands, and a few less used vcrs, well then hey, this market might really work!

Strange etag toll readers and speed cameras that aren't speed cameras
Ok So i do a shitload of drinving for work, which partially adds to my loathing of Sydney.
Ive noticed a few strange things happening on our roads, namely, by the NSW government and the RTA
1st thing- is a bunch of speed cameras that arent actually speed cameras.
They are popping up everwhere, northbound throught the open / unused toll plaza, have seen then mounted above bridges on the f3 and also hanging precariously off the edges of SAFE T-CAM stations...
2nd thing - is toll readers mounted at locations that dont attract a toll.
there is one as you leave the f3 freeway(yes its still free) , turning left southbound at the pacific highway.. its a toll reader like the one you would see above an automatic toll plaza, but im certain it counts cars/spys on our movements secretly..
I think this because the rta normally uses a loop inductor in the road to count traffic, but with an etag, they can track and trace everyone's movements digitally, like google.
Think of how the asshole RTA will use this technology against YOU. They made everyone get and etag, literally forcing us to be "barcoded" and traced on the roads like a fedex parcel.
All sorts of scary links below...

more to come im sure..
Just wait for point-to-point speeding cameras to be introduced, I predict it.
Thank fuck Brisbane still has the decency to treat its motorists as citizens with rights, and not as cash cows.

lock your twiter and facebook profiles, because your about to get binged
Search results to include Twitter, Facebook
So basically if you have a twitter or facebook account, thats set to be open to the public, you'll probably end up in someones search. Whilst this may be good for alot of marketing types, imagine the world being freely able to see your comments about last night baby, your boss, work colleuges or freinds. .
Big brother no1 is only watching.

Microsoft overnight began integrating Twitter messages into its new internet search engine Bing and arch rival Google announced plans to do the same.
