Get Yourself “Toon’d” at 2nME.com

Thursday, November 30th, 2006

My old buddy from Microsoft Glenn Vassallo finally launched his cartoon production site 2nME yesterday! This is a service that allows you to get a cartoon drawn up of yourself, which you can use on your blog, in your Skype ID, … on your fake ID…. etc. All TOONs are completely hand drawn, by a [...]

Let’s Talk About Industrial Relations

Thursday, November 30th, 2006

For gdayworld 173 (scheduled for Dec 8), I really want to talk about the new Industrial Relations laws in Australia. I’d love to talk to young people who are working under them and to employers. If you know of anyone who fits one of those descriptions and might be interested in chatting with me, please [...]

DIGG doubles my numbers

Thursday, November 30th, 2006

As some of you may have noticed, and as I mentioned on the show today, we had some slight “issues” with the TPN servers in the last 24 hours, mostly because this post I did last night got hit by DIGG. We got slammed. I did the same traffic to G’Day World in one 24 [...]

Thursday, November 30th, 2006

A loooooong show today, almost 90 minutes, with three guest co-hosts, a clip from another TPN show, a music clip from PUBLIC ENEMY… it’s our first YEAR THREE show and so I indulged. Mea Culpa.

Dave Gray Gets A Letter From Apple Authorizing “podcast”

Wednesday, November 29th, 2006

Remember in October when Dave Gray, one of the hosts of TPN’s GlobalGeek podcast, sent a letter to Apple with a cheque for $1 for using the term “podcast”? I thought he was just kidding around but apparently he did actually send the letter and the cheque - to Steve Jobs. Seriously.
Well… yesterday he [...]

Your Chance To Come On The Show

Wednesday, November 29th, 2006

Well it’s Year Three of the G’Day World podcast and as always I’m going to frak around with the format.
As you may already know, G’Day World invented Skypecasting. We were the very first people EVER to record a Skype call as a podcast. Don’t believe me? It’s in Wikipedia so it must be true (and [...]

The iPod by 2012

Wednesday, November 29th, 2006

…by 2012, iPods could launch at similar prices to those on sale now and yet be capable of holding a whole year’s worth of video releases.
That’s a quote from Nikesh Arora, Google’s VP of European operations, speaking at the FT World Communications Conference. (link)
I agree, but it reminds me of something Microsoft VP Jeff Raikes [...]
