Coining a New Phrase

One of my goals in life was to coin a new phrase and here it is...

Thoughts are like money, spend them on the things you want.
John Kappa - July 2005

Now it just has to take off.

French News Reader - Melissa Theuriau

It does not get better than this amazingly beautiful French news reader Melissa Theuriau.

Flags of the world

Flags of the world is an interesting piece of art. After doing some research on country specific facts the flags were used to illustrate some pretty harsh realities about the country.

"We started to research relevant, global, and current facts and, thus, came up with the idea to put new meanings to the colours of the flags. We used real data taken from the web sites of Amnesty International and the UNO."

Google Earth

Recently Google's world domination plans seems to have snapped up an application that's been around for a while. It's a 10MB download file that enables the user to point and zoom to anyplace on the planet that you want to explore. Satellite images and local facts zoom into view.



It's the only atlas you'll ever need, and Google Earth impressed me so much it's earned itself a permanent link here on the Kappa files.

What the BLEEP Do We Know?!

Recently watched this amazing film after it was recommended. It's very difficult to explain and I find myself confused every time I begin to try.

So here's the site.

It's an awesome film that will change your view on things and let you in on life's big secret.

Palate - Bar Restaurant

If your looking for a great place to dine, some friends have recently opened Palate, located on Greville St Prahran, where the old Continental used to be, beneath Boutique.


Great food & wine, perfect for a relaxing early dinner any night of the week.

Tell them Kappa sent you. I won't get you anything, but tell em' anyway.

The Tipping Point

Currently reading The Tipping Point - How Little Things can Make a Big Difference as it was recommended by a friend with the few words, "It'll change that way you look at things". Well, he was right.

The Tipping Point by Malcom Gladwell is a great book on change. In particular, it's a book that presents a new way of understanding why change so often happens as quickly and as unexpectedly as it does.

The Sony DSC V3 - Digital Camera

Recently having looked in to the Digital Camera market I decided with the Sony DSC-V3.

It's a 7.2 Megapixel digital camera with many SLR features.

Here are some of the little beasts features.
- 7.2 Megapixels
- 4x optical zoom
- Movie Mode with Audio
- Weight: 360g (Camera Body)
- Manual exposure control
- 2.5" LCD monitor

If your in the market for a high res digital camera under $1000 mark, then the DSC-V3 is definatly the way to go - and it's black.

The Black AMEX

For those of you into material things. This as good as it gets, the black American Express Cards. No, The Kappa Files isn't a recipient, this is merely a mock up for educational purposes. Having one of these bad boys doesn't mean your happy, but it will buy pretty much anything you want.

You do have to be invited by the company to have one — as long as you agree to keep is existence as secret as possible. Not much more is known except that it is one sexy card.
