Nightmares….

Friday, January 19th, 2007

I actually had a nightmare last night that I was still working at Microsoft. Woke up about 4am and took a few minutes to remember I left 30 months
ago. Was still in such shock I couldn’t get back to sleep…. weird. In the dream, someone in HR had compiled a document about dealing with difficult [...]

Father Bob for Cardinal?

Thursday, January 18th, 2007

Some of you may know that for a long while I co-hosted a weekly podcast here on The Podcast Network with Australian cleric Father Bob Maguire. Recently Poland-based News Corp blogger (figure *that* one out) Evan Maloney wrote a post suggesting that Father Bob would make a much better leader of the Catholic Church in [...]

G’DAY WORLD 189 - On Media Reform, Highs and Lows, and Joseph Campbell

Thursday, January 18th, 2007

On the show tonight….
The word of the day is “Ringtonitis”: When that personalized ringtone you added to your mobile phone just doesn’t seem funny or clever anymore and you are completely sick of it. eg “Making the Galaga theme my ringtone was funny for about a week but now it’s giving me ringtonitis.”

Thursday, January 18th, 2007

For folks in Melbourne or Sydney, check out the Green Guide in The Age or SMH respectively. There’s a fairly large interview with me about halfway in.

Mr Deity

Thursday, January 18th, 2007

Hugo Sharp posted a link to this in the comments but I thought it deserved to be up here. Very clever stuff. Great performances. Am I the only person who thinks Mr Deity is based loosely on George Lucas?

G’DAY WORLD 188 - On Freedom Of Speech, LBJ killed JFK?, and Fidel Castro’s last breaths

Thursday, January 18th, 2007

On the show tonight….
The word for the day is “blogorrhea“. To write a blog entry just for the sake of posting an entry, not because you have done anything interesting today.
Think you only use 10% of your brain? Think again.

Why should Australia’s Attorney-General Phillip Ruddock have the ability to stop someone from publishing a book? [...]

3 tells me “It isn’t possible”

Wednesday, January 17th, 2007

I just love the way so-called “customer support” folks in telephone companies still think “It isn’t possible” is a legitimate excuse for bad customer service.
I rang 3 today to try to get them to merge the two data plans I have with my two devices (my mobile phone and my laptop card). I had [...]

Brian Shearer, Marty Blevins and Andy Slaughter have been running a great podcast about comics over on their Gravyboy site for a year and I’m very excited to have them joining TPN! I’ve been wanting a comics podcasts since day one of TPN and so I was really excited when Scott Sherman brought these guys [...]

No show tonight but a request

Tuesday, January 16th, 2007

Sorry folks, was out tonight with a mate shooting the breeze. Oh and reading “The God Delusion” by Richard Dawkins, which I finally bought. So far - brilliant.
One request - I just noticed G’Day World has a princely total of ZERO reviews in the Aussie iTunes store. Anyone want to rectify that situation for [...]
