The TRIP is the mental projection of my digital self. Including all areas of digital work I have been involved with, including Music, video, photography...
All good web pages must have the collection of absolutely useless pictures. Designed for no purpose other than to consume kilobits. And hopefully show off some of my Photographic skills. Web design skills, and uses one php script to drive the whole index. Also see the Photography section of the Silicontrip Website.
The Creative section of the TRIP is my imagination trying to run free. I have a fascination with sexual, spiritual and meta physical abilities, and these stories show it.
Part of the images directory contains some of my digital artwork. These images have been created or enhanced by myself, with the help of the 1s and 0s machine.

If you may've worked out by now that I have an affinity for chili and as such one of my favourite activities is collecting chili plants and seeds and growing them.
I like to collect chili seeds from whatever exotic chili I'm eating at the time even from some of the more harmless capsicums and bull horn chilis. However, depending on where I purchased my chili from yields different growth success.
I purchased a nice little, $1, bundle of birds eye chilis from Queen Victoria market. Planted them late last year and now I have a pot full of 15 or so plants all competing for resources. Time for a transplant...
But of the nice green bull horn chili I bought from Safeway, big and green and full of seeds, only one plant germinated. Same with the regular capsicums purchased from supermarkets. Maybe it's my climate that capsicums don't like to germinate in? No. Because my parent capsicum plant, now 5 years old, fruit will germinate quite proficiently. I've even had to uproot competing baby capsicum plants that have grown from fallen fruit in the same pot.
And the same with some gorgeous habinero chilis I purchased from Coles on the central coast. I kept the seeds and none germinated. Of the yellow cayenne chili I purchased from the supermarket. Only one plant germinated and promptly died during the summer heat :-(
So did the corriander plants spring up like weeds after the parent plant went to seed and I scattered them about the pot and other pots.
So I wonder about the kind of fresh fruits we buy from supermarket chains. Is it some sort of industrial conspiracy to stop us from growing our own food. Or is it more likely to be that the chemicals used to kill pests and lengthen the shelf life of the food killing it's fertility? And what is this doing to us?
Queue scarey music
Cue scarier music, if I can spell cue correctly.
I have noticed that I have a grape Tomato spring up in the same pot that last years one died in.
