Any video with foxes, tigers, rabbits and other wild animals on bicycles gets my vote.

Sitting on my meditation cushion in the loungeroom writing this… On my iPhone!
Yes… Now I Am the master…
… You don’t understand the power of the Jobs…
And on breaking news, I discovered that if I eat properly, I don’t feel crappy…
Live and learn…

Well, it’s up:
mother and child doing well…
I’ll be quaffing red wine with dinner tonight, let me tell you… I think a home-made pizza is right up my alley. I deserve it!

Sick of talking to machines when calling Australia Post?
Press 0 when the computer starts speaking.
Course, it takes just as long to get to a human that you might just as well go through the computer system.
Dammit.

I find rhyming slang and alternative terms for things amusing.
Sometimes I hear wrong and there’s a term going around my head that’s not quite right, but makes me giggle nonetheless.
The latest is one from the king of sardonic wit, Yahtzee Crosshaw of Zero Punctuation Reviews.
Lamp them one: the art of whacking someone in an irritated fashion, potentially over the head.
As stated, I could have heard it wrong; he’s got an accent you could use to butter toast (as opposed to one you can cut with a knife).
And as I sit here, listening to Barry Adamson‘s Stranger on The Sofa album, I wonder first if I’ll have enough money to get tickets to his Melbourne concert, and then exactly why I’m still awake. It’s after bloody midnight!

Another use for an iPod Touch.
Sounds a bit like the apple remote to me, but as the article says, the touch can also act as a keyboard (if you are prepared to get used to the thumb-tapping interface).
With companies like Meraki slowly rolling-out blanket wi-fi access (and Meraki is part-owned by google, so they’re doing this potentially to add value to the Android phone) it won’t be long before the Touch can actually be used viably as a VoIP phone.
Give it a couple more years though… we’re a good 3-years behind the tech here in OZ.
