« Previous EntriesSpeed, Quality, Cheap. Pick any Two.
Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010The Hon. Peter Garrett, member of Midnight Oil and member for Kingsford-Smith is presently under-the-gun over the management of the Energy Efficient Homes Package.
It seems out of the old adage: speed, quality, cheap: pick any two that the department chose just speed.
From ABC1’s Q & A last night, members of both sides of the house […]

Thursday, January 29th, 2009ON-LINE CAMPAIGN TOOLS — OPPORTUNITY
While our keynote and discussion will be invaluable to anyone interested in democracy and communication in the first half of this century I also wanted the forum to be an opportunity for a look at practical examples of new technology tools.
To that end I’d like to invite any developers, web 2.0 […]
Understanding Thailand Politics
Sunday, November 30th, 2008(ps: the Siamese Cat in the above poster is in fact a Korat)
A watcher of byzantine and machiavellian politics, the situation in Thailand is providing an interesting demonstration of power wielded by history, tradition and might vs money, corruption and popular politics. Neither side is clean, and neither side is completely right. Thanks to Stigherrian […]
ISP Filters">A Pragmatic Proposal: ISP Filters
Friday, November 14th, 2008Dear Australian Federal Politicians
re: Australian ISP Internet Filters
As a parent, a technology industry veteran and citizen who works via the Internet, I feel it is my duty to provide a pragmatic perspective on the Federal Government’s proposed plans to adopt Mandatory Filtering of Australian Internet Service Providers (ISPs) for the benefit of Child Safety.

PM at Hiroshima? For Shame.">First Australian PM at Hiroshima? For Shame.
Monday, June 9th, 2008From the ABC: “Rudd lays wreath for Hiroshima victims”
Mr Rudd is the first Australian prime minister to visit Hiroshima’s Peace Park and Memorial.
How embarrassing for Australia. Why has no other Prime Minister visited Hiroshima? Incredulous.
On the other hand, I wonder if a Japanese Prime Minister will visit the Thailand-Burma Railway and apologize.
One day, maybe.

Australia is going to be stupider in 2008
Monday, December 31st, 2007Mandatory censorship is bad. Strange day for an announcement: a day when the powers-that-be deliver our deserved bread and circuses.
Who decides what is good or bad? We each have our own definitions of good and bad. I saw the Coen brothers film a few days ago, No Country for Old Men: it was absolute shite. […]
Australian Politics on G’day World 299.
Sunday, October 28th, 2007Debating with Cameron Reilly is like fighting an intellectual tornado. Thankfully I was being grilled after a bottle of merlot.
In the instance of this podcast, I am speaking for myself not my employer (which I make clear in the podcast)
In retrospect, the discussion could go on for another 30 minutes: the concept of Geeks for […]
Fibre to the Dunny
Sunday, October 21st, 2007
(original image)
With Australian Politicians using “Fibre to the Node” and “Fibre to the Home” as election ploys, I think It’s Time to raise the issue to a new level:
Fibre to the Dunny.
We should not rest until every Dunny in Australia has Fibre. Face it, that’s where the best browsing occurs.
Also, with Australia’s rising colorectal cancer, an […]
