- What I Saw From A Café In Fremantle: Spareparts Puppet Teatre; the now-ornamental crane at 'E' Shed; a line of billboards hiding much; and the corner of the railway station — these form the horizon of my view from here. There's Norfolk Pines, this café's umbrellas, and the aw…
- My Sandstone University: Well, look here, I really can't think very well at this time of night, so I don't think you should expect much of this post. I'm thinking of that cave just up from the Palm Tree Beach, the one who's main enterance caved in a few years ago, leaving…

- Homeward Bound: Every evening as I head home on the intertown, the view west from the bridge reminds me of all that I love most about Canberra. The sun setting behind Black Mountain, with the ANU tucked in amongst the trees and the lake there, all still and calm, a…
- Urban Adventure in Rotterdam: Urban Adventure in Rotterdam Not that I'm bored today at work or anything, as you can see: not posting for a month, then here I am warbling on about urban exploration! But then I would really rather be out charting the course of a drain, or sketc…
- Indexing Newspapers: I have been working again this morning down at the Local History Collection at the library. The newspaper clippings' catalogue is progressing — up to a hundred and thirty clippings so far — and proving to be quite an interesting project. This…

- Open content
- I edit various Wikimedia projects, and occasionally post here about whatever I'm working on. I am User:Samwilson on all projects.
- Programming
- I am a computer programmer by trade, working for a small company in South Fremantle. I also contribute to a few little open source projects (Wordpress plugins, etc.). I write about these things here, working things out, announcing updates, musing on how things ought to be done.
- Reading
- 'Reading' in the broad sense, but usually to do with texts that are made of text.

- Tweets, dents, Facebook statuses... from wherever they come, this category is the final and complete archive of them all.

- Walking
- I like to go for rambling, aimless walks, though bush or suburbs, and sometimes I post the words and pictures that I collect on these walks. I want to make it quite clear I do not have the support of the MoSW: I and they are not affiliated in any way, and you mustn’t think that I’m really all that silly. Okay? I’m not at all given to taking my left leg off and swallowing it every second step (like that Israeli chap). Rather, I take a notebook and camera and go for a wander. Quite not silly.
- Woodworking
- This blog began as a way for me to document my workshop practice when I was at the ANU school of art in Canberra. Now my life has moved away from working at the bench, but I still post about the small projects that I do get to work on, and the joy that I find in working wood by hand.
