Observant fans may have noticed a lack of new stories here recently (although new astrophotos are being added to the Gallery).

My excuse is that I am now an editor for the Australia/New Zealand 'local edition' of The Oil Drum, a news and discussion site for all things concerning peak oil and our sustainable transport and energy future. Oil prices, transport and energy are certainly in the news now, but you can read the latest analysis and ideas on the blogsites months (even years!) before they hit the mainstream media.

Drop by sometime.

The David Malin Astrophotography Awards

Having taken my astrophotography to a new level in the last couple of years (courtesy of having had a real job in the UK for five years), and now having returned to Oz last year, I entered a bunch of my astro-images to the fourth annual David Malin astrophotography awards, hosted by the Central West Astronomical Society in Parkes, NSW.

Short Changed by Explanation for Petrol Prices

Wed, 2007-05-30 18:08 — phil

MEDIA RELEASE: TUESDAY 29th MAY 2007

Everybody is feeling a little short changed when it comes to petrol prices.

But Phil Hart, from the Australian Association for the Study of Peak Oil, is not upset with the price at the pump. Instead, he is wound up by the economists and their explanation that high prices are the fault of refineries in the United States. While there is a grain of truth to that argument, the US has for a long time required imports to make up for a shortfall in refining capacity.

Cheating? - Offsets can help you

Mon, 2007-02-26 08:27 — phil

[Phil says.. not all offsets are the same. There's some good ones out there (like GreenFleet), but paying 15 cents to offset the emissions of your latest plane trip is probably not so good.]

What is Cheat Offsetting?

When you cheat on your partner you add to the heartbreak, pain and jealousy in the atmosphere.

"CheatNeutral" offsets your cheating by funding someone else to be faithful and NOT cheat. This neutralises the pain and unhappy emotion and leaves you with a clear conscience.

Can I Offset all my Cheating?

First you should look at ways of reducing your cheating. Once you've done this you can use Cheatneutral to offset the remaining, unavoidable cheating.
