<br />
It's replacement is <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://blackandwhitesea.blogspot.com.au/">Modyssey</a></span></b> (modern + odyssey)<br />
<br />

<br />
So let's inhale the joy that is the start of the working week and reflect on some briney stats to date:<br />
37694 visitors<br />
13056 visitors from my island home<br />
850 profile views (OK it was me for maybe 800 of them)<br />
793 posts<br />
578 being the most hits on an individual post - here's the hyperlink<br />
http://brinetimes.blogspot.com.au/2010/04/bing-x-quiver-kaddy.html<br />
49 followers<br />
6 requests to endorse stuff I would never use<br />
1 post without any images - today's<br />
Unable to quantify the number of hours punching the keyboard with my three typing fingers<br />
<br />
Despite all this, the demons of creativity command me to continue to explore the mundane in search of aRt and beauty. (The Truth is not "out there".) So I have started another blog called <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://blackandwhitesea.blogspot.com.au/">Modyssey</a></span></b> - as in modern odyssey. Apparently I can't use Brine Time. So please click on over there to continue our shared love of the brine, aRt, ranting, music, photography, surfing, randomness and beauty. Peace to you and your tribe.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01402253675492293646noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9141193589857521076.post-29822112646183337822012-02-18T07:21:00.001+10:002012-02-26T11:40:17.924+10:00Tuesday TechIt's only a matter of time until the hordes of iPhones roaming the planet join their evolutionary cousins the GoPro and the Contour re-entering the primordial brine. <b><a href="http://www.gizmag.com/aqua-tek-s-iphone-case/21479/pictures">Aqua Tek</a></b> are taking up the challenge of developing what we all will later say was "so obvious" a rugged, waterproof iPhone case with solar recharger on the back.

The shot accompanying it showed flawless lefts bowling down a point and nobody out. The terms "uncrowded" and "exotic" were not explicitly spelt out - maybe for legal reasons. But they were certainly inferred via the stunning image.<br />
My experience of the same location was more like this shot below - 16 out at dawn and three boats of surfers on the way.<br />
Sometimes the uncrowded wave is in your own backyard (unless that's the Superbank).<br />

Q. Who would have thought that putting bagpipes with electric guitars would result in a rock hit?<br />
<br />
A. Ronald Belford "Bon" Scott (RIP) and his fellow Scottish expats, Angus and Malcolm Young of the Oz band AC/DC, when they recorded <i><b><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ius6FGsAgx0&feature=related">"It's a Long Way to Top (If You Want to Rock n Roll)"</a></b></i> 36 years ago.<br />

Watching that old author pounding away reminded me that you can't leave this creativity gig too late in life to start. I'm going to assemble all those chanced overhearings, family myths and my own badly remembered misadventures and mangle them into my own fictional bio called <i>"Caffein, Cameras and Commuting". </i>There will be special mention of nefarious hijinks. . .not sure if people will still be reading books by the time I get to 78 though.<br />

We have differing tastes in politics and religion. He doesn't surf. I don't understand why a $20K hi-fi would sound that much better than a $3K lo-fi, (especially given the abuse our ear drums have suffered at the hands of live music over the years). Yet, we get along just fine.

Most of the time I don't understand the digital realm. It has its own logic and pecking order. A truce has been settled and the 11001101 army allow me to log into my own blog. Well I didn't buy my blog but I have visited it for awhile and I do feed it type and pixels. So it's mine. Like Granite Bay is mine because I have visited it for 40+ years.<br />

Laziness? Lack of imagery? Maybe it's too special and too much fun to try and package up, break down, over-analyse? I have caught gazillions of waves with just my feet and hands over the years and I don't recall it being hassle (apart from my lung capacity) like board surfing can be on crowded days. And really, some days are just more body-friendly than board friendly.<br />
