Last night I had the pleasure of seeing the Stephen Lee/GRADS production of Dr Faustus.
Originally shared by Rob Masters Last night I had the pleasure of seeing the Stephen Lee/GRADS production of Dr Faustus. And what fun it was. Stephen Lee appears in a number of minor roles, but chews the scenery well while doing so! Meantime Patrick Charles Barton's portrayal of Wager was priceless - especially during his hiring of a flunky in an echo of Faustus' deal. David Meadows as the good (well, not really at all) Herr Doktor Faustus was having fun - immersing himself in the role of a stereotypical annoying German tourist. Given the nature of Faustus' life, this is a wonderful way of portraying him. Meantime, Mephistopheles (played by Grant Malcolm) seemed bored. Which is just right. He is bored, and just slowly digging the hole that Faustus is leaping into. He knows what is happening, and has seen it all before. And only Faustus does not know - until he thinks it is too late anyway. Despite the tragedy of the play, it is played as a comedy - until it is not. Faust...

Moon and (not) stars
Moon and (not) stars WPP 2015 - Week 12 - Moon / Sun Weekly Photo Project 2015 curated by Alen Ianni , Bernhard Rembold , Cliff Loresco , Francesco Scaglioni , Heather D , Ken Fowkes , Navin Upendran , Robyn King and T.E. Smith #WPP2015 #WPP2015-Wk12-MoonSun Something a little different for me. With perfectly clear skies, and a very thin sliver of a moon, it was tough coming up with an image that was not boring. Playing around with one of my on-tablet photo editing suites, I ran the edge-detection algorithm over the image - and got this. The 'stars' are actually faintly hot pixels - which is why you can see some of them in the arms of the moon - that were detected as 'edges'. It was a lot of fun to see a photo turn into a cartoon, without actually trying to do so!

Yesterday, Alicia Smith and I went to the Coles Gluten Free and Healthy Living Expo at the Perth Convention Centre. Here are a few highlights from our visit this year. Things that were missed: Billabong Brewing (who say they'll be along next year), our old friends from Cheese Buddies (Brazilian tapioca cheese puffs), Tasty Bite, and the Super Lupin cereals. :( On the up-side Dr. Schar was there as usual, and able to supply our usual purchase of a box of Twin Bars (a Kit-Kat type chocolate wafer), and O'Brien's Brewery were showing off their new Black Lager, which is (apparently) rather Guinness-like. Meantime, San Remo Pasta were giving away boxes of lasagna sheets, and showing off their expanded GF pasta range. Lastly, the showbags were well worth the price of admission, with great samples, and even a full box of muesli for Coeliac Society members! #GlutenFreeinWA

This shot looks over part of Herdsman's Lake at the Perth CBD, in the last rays of the Autumn sun. And in the foreground, the iconic Black Swan.

A fun and fascinating look at how language evolves - via the ASL community.
A fun and fascinating look at how language evolves - via the ASL community. The demos are fun, but what is fascinating is the discussion about how the Deaf community arrive at a consensus on what a new word looks like. The various sign languages around the world and Esperanto must be just about the only languages on Earth where there is so much conscious thought about how the language evolves. http://www.hopesandfears.com/hopes/now/internet/168477-internet-american-sign-language
