Today, in the next episode of my “Melbourne’s Leaders” series, my guest is Mr Brian Watson. Brian is the founder and Executive Chairman of Georgica Associates Pty Ltd, a private equity asset management and advisory firm in Melbourne. He was based in New York with J.P. Morgan from 1987-1999, as Global Head of Equity Underwriting [...]
I caught up with my favourite Catholic, Father Bob Maguire, for a chat on Monday and attempted to engage him on some of the subjects I’ve been discussing here lately. As I should have known, he didn’t want to know about it and just told me off. Listen to the fireworks.
Scienta’s post on why not everyone in Australia likes to celebrate the coming of the Europeans reminded me of a podcast I listened to this morning in a similar vein.
The latest episode of Learn Out Loud’s excellent “Great Speeches in History” podcast has a speech by Frederick Douglass who confronts the country at the [...]
When I was with the Tangler boys last week, I asked them for suggestions on what they would like to see us do to make podcasting easier for the mainstream to get into. Mick and Marty gave me a long speech about how RSS is still way too difficult for the masses but how much [...]
Meg has this interesting post on the decline of Sensis and Yellow Pages. Check out their Alexa graphs.
I wonder where their online customers are going?
I was also interested to read on her blog that former local Microsoft sales director Gary Cox has moved to News Digital to head up their local search play, [...]

I’ve set up a new forum for the ongoing discussion of science versus faith. As the first post, I’ve thrown up a poll based on Dawkins’ probability scale to see where we all sit in terms of believing in god. TAKE THE POLL.
In the comments to my recent post on rationality, Tony Goodson said “Science is just as faith based as Religion!!”
Tony, I’m glad you said this, because it’s hearing rubbish statements like “Science is just as faith based as Religion!!” which has forced me to become more vocal about this whole issue. If that’s the kind [...]
While I was in Sydney yesterday I popped into the Tangler offices to catch up with Marty Wells and Mick Liubinskas for a beer.
I got to see and hear more about where Tangler is going and I’m finally starting to understand the vision - and it is very cool. The boys threatened to force [...]
Lately I have been accused by a few people, in email and in person, of “attacking” Christians and suggesting they are all “stupid”. Perhaps I should clarify myself. I’ve been writing this out in email and saying it in person, so I thought I should include it here just in case more people are taking [...]
