There are of course many ‘hustings’ online that relevant candidates had to consider, each with its own merits and bad points, each [...]

Are you listening, politicians? I didn’t think so!

There is a lot of talk about this election campaign and the fact it hasn’t been much of a ‘social election’, meaning the lack of Social Media involvement. Ever since the Barack Obama campaign team leapt whole heartedly into using social media and other forms of digital communications to promote issues, communicate and raise funds [...]

Welcome to the Lucky Country

Warning this post has an extreme overuse of bad clichés It has dawned on me that we have turned our back on our entire culture. The radios and TV channels are full of it, the newspapers covered in it. Apparently we are overrun with a plague of asylum seekers that threatens our very existence. Like [...]

How’s the iPad going?

4 weeks into my iPad ownership i felt it worth a quick review on how I am finding it. Firstly I am not a Mac fanboy. I do like my iPhone but am a long term PC user, and frankly have no need or reason to change that. Not sure if that makes me more [...]
