Even though our new place is less than a mile from the old one, I now get a ferry to work instead of the long monotonous bus ride, it makes for a pleasant change!

The weather these past few days has been good, 15c at 7:00am and bright sunshine… making for a far more pleasant ride to work than being stuck on a bus for over an hour in crappy Sydney traffic….

Another reason for writing this post is to show off the new Maps and images we have on our Search product, it looks pretty good! Click on the image on the right to browse downtown Sydney…

I listened to an interview on my way to work yesterday with the McCann’s, one year after Madeleine had disappeared… Take all these terrifying thoughts, you left your kids alone as you went out for dinner, your little girl was abducted, there’s no trace, it happened in a foreign country, double that pain as you become a suspect in the eyes of the very people whose energies should be laser focused on finding your little girl, then double it again as your strength and character leads you to be demonised by the predatory UK tabloids casting doubt in the minds of your family, who’s faith you must so desperately need… It’s unimaginable. Reminded me of the Lindy Chamberlin saga, which I don’t know enough about to confidently form a view, however her strength and detachment from the horrors of her ordeal meant she was also demonised by the people she needed…. Too hard to think about.

Madeleine McCann 

We love Scarlett’s independent streak and, as the picture below shows, her dedication to getting herself dressed and out the house to explore… However I think we have some polishing to do yet…
