The world knows where you live – that is not good.
It might be a bit of a surprise to you, it certainly was to me. The Apple iPhone stores the location of where a photo was taken. It’s known as Location. Or geo-location with other makes of phones/cameras. Seems harmless enough, doesn’t it.
Except when some enterprising people decide to create a Firefox plug-in which lets you view the GPS co-ordinates, then link you though, to say Google Maps.
Escape
Photo from the fire escape at work. You wouldn’t want to trip, you’d be trampled.

Re-branding obsolete signs
Connex’s name will be removed from trains and the system renamed ”Metro”. The massive Government rebranding exercise will cost $25 million.
Yes, and they’ll re-brand without thinking.
Have a look at this safety sign: 
(I’ve enlarged 2 parts of the sign).
The sign is there, for when a truck hits the rail bridge.
Metro have come along and re-branded the sign, but left the phone number as is.
The problem? Melbourne has not had 5 digit phone numbers since 1995. The Metro people have re-branded an out of date safety sign, instead of fixing it.
Fancy Dress
Artwork by Komplexgraphix.com; on the side of a Fancy Dress shop. I was running late for work, but I stopped to grab a photo of this artwork.
Nature does not like to sit idle
Seen when I was strolling around North Melbourne.
