I've spent a couple months in Thailand- and have friends in Bangkok. It's really disheartening to see this kind of strife happening. It's a place where Buddhist monks in saffron robes are walking down almost very street- lots of smiles and laughter.
I know they're only human and capable of the worst like all of is- but nationally I never thought they had this in them.


I didn't think the Greeks where modernly capable of the row either.

This sort of thing is common in the US, only they call it a riot or a street gang. Of course I'm speaking of Rodney King, or all the other riots.

I don't know much about Australia, but I would assume that the Aborigine have seen their fair share too. (http://www.australian-news.net/Redfern_riots.htm)

Riots, revolts, from my arm chair they all look the same; however I have the cognitive power to know that is not true in many places. People have grievances, they should be aired or they end up like this video.

I spent Y2K in a nuclear hardened bunker.

2000 was a big year for me. Had a baby boy, began my life in Australia in earnest - lost a lot of money (stock options) in the dotcom crash.

The years until 2005 were a bit of a blur, I remember the peaks and troughs, but that's it. Bought a house, changed jobs a couple of times, climbed the corporate ladder.

At the end of 2005 something clicked- I wanted out. We sold our house and most of the stuff we own. I quit my job and we bought round the world ticket for the family. We spent the next 5 months backpacking - went like this: L.A, Las Cruces, NM, Alaska, Vancouver (Lasik), Ireland, Girona, Spain, Osaka, Japan Bangkok, Thailand and then back to Australia- pretty much broke.

In 2006 I rented a little office with a friend who was working on a motorized skateboard thing. I didn't know what I was going to do, but we were paying rent, and we had a bar fridge stocked with Coronas. I started plonking away on my laptop - and VideoSift was launched on February 16th 2006.

Aside from the birth of my son- the highlight of my decade was VideoSift - still feels great to be part of something like this. I've also changed jobs a couple times, taken a few overseas trips, moved house way too many times and watched the kids grow.

^I had it in Bangkok, and thought it was not that bad as well. Sort of like a fruit that is slightly past its prime, but not super bad. A similar consistency is a custard apple.

These ladies are great, what a team. *femme. I make a pretty mean Thai fried rice, but not quite up to these ladies' standards.

One thing I like to do is to use a cereal bowl as a mold, to make nice dome shaped portions on plates, and then put the cucumbers around it - as that's the way I saw it served in Bangkok.
