changing Australia’s marriage act – some facts
In this emotionally charged debate I want to try to look objectively at some of the arguments proposed.
Keith Pfeiffer
Keith Pfeiffer was born in the UK at an early age and migrated to Australia shortly thereafter. He has a passion for his technology career, literature, music performance, and of all things, Indian cuisine.
the bmw driftmob
Another blatant example of anti-social car advertising. I must say this ad had no influence whatsoever on any car purchase I might have made. In fact I bought mine before the ad was even aired overseas.
Australia’s same sex marriage vote
Predictably, the debate is turning vitriolic. The issue seems less important than the opportunity to vilify adherents of one side or the other.
the mercedes tunnel advert
The intersection between an advertising wanker and a hoon must be car adverts. This is an advert for the Mercedes SLS AMG. It features Michael Scumacher, and is a remarkable piece of film-making.
the cost of procrastination
People often justify procrastination as “waiting for something better to turn up”. When viewed through the lens of statistics and probability, this is a fraught strategy. A higher price may not be the best outcome, as we will see in this article.
picking opportunities
Evaluating opportunities generally means determining if you should take an opportunity, or leave things as they are. Although there are really three categories of decision approaches, two are similar and straightforward, and one is really difficult.
c’était un rendez vous
"It was a date" is an eight-minute high-speed drive through Paris in the early hours of an August Sunday morning in 1976.
perfect decisions, or timely decisions?
In this post, I want to exercise the idea of decision timeliness. The question is whether it is better to wait to make the right decision, or to give an adequate decision now, and refine it later.
decisions, decisions
I believe we are faced with two very different types of decisions. We need to recognise the type of decision required so we can apply the right thinking and analysis to the matter.
